Dental Examination
Our Phoenix dental office regularly cares for the dental needs of children as young as four years old. However, if you notice that your child has a problem with their teeth or gums prior to this age, please schedule an appointment. You may also want to bring your child to your dental checkup when they are about two so that they can become familiar with the sights, sounds and friendly helpers in our dental office. We call this a Happy Visit. Your child's independent checkup at age four will involve a tooth by tooth inspection and periodontal exam. The dentist will check for proper development as well as tooth decay and other areas of concern.

Dental Examination

X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Did you know that one person dies every hour from oral cancer in the United States? While many of our patients believe they are not at risk for the disease unless they use tobacco products, the sad truth is that 25% of patients diagnosed each year never touch a cigarette. That’s why the caring dentists and team members at Smile Fitness Dental Center include screenings for oral cancer as part of every six month dental checkup. The good news is that the Oral Cancer Foundation’s research supports these frequent screenings. In fact, they named early diagnosis as the best way to decrease oral cancer related deaths. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any health concerns you think may be related to oral cancer.

Teeth Cleaning
With our in-house membership, we can offer customized plans that are completely tailored to your smile and budget. We make it simple by offering benefits immediately, including cleanings and exams at no extra cost, and providing discounts on other procedureslike sedation dentistry to calm your nerves or an implant denture to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Plus, there are no deductibles, annual maximums, or pre-approvals!
Fluoride Treatment
As your child grows, he or she will need regular checkups and hygiene visits to ensure optimal oral health. Our team will also teach oral home care techniques so that your child can learn how to effectively brush and floss first with the parent’s help and then on their own. The dentists may recommend dental sealants or fluoride supplements. Sealants are thin and clear coatings that protect hard to clean back teeth from the sugars that cause tooth decay. Fluoride attracts other minerals to strengthen tooth enamel and ward off cavities. Because most bottled water does not contain fluoride, your child may be deficient in this essential mineral. Sealants and fluoride supplements are quick and easy protective measures that can save your little one from cavities.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin layers of plastic designed to help protect natural teeth from decay. They are most commonly recommended for back teeth (your molars) that have more pits and grooves—the perfect breeding ground for plaque buildup and bacteria growth. Regular brushing and flossing may be less effective here. While sealants are not a replacement for regular oral hygiene, they can help protect tough to reach areas from plaque and food here in Phoenix.

Fillings
Resin Composite
If you're embarrassed about your smile because of decay or dark fillings in your teeth, you may be a good candidate for composite resins. Composite resin is a silicon dioxide filled and tooth colored plastic that can safely restore teeth to an attractive, healthy state. Composite resins represent several advantages over traditional silver (amalgam) fillings.
Veneers
When you look at your smile, are you proud of what you see? With our society’s constant focus on image, your answer to that question might be “no.” Thankfully, you don’t have to settle for dental imperfections that spoil your smile and steal your self-confidence. With veneers, it is possible to have the kind of smile you see all the time on your favorite magazine models or television stars. To enhance the appearance of your smile, the cosmetic dentists at Smile Fitness in Phoenix will design handcrafted veneers to transform teeth marred by stains, chips, gaps, and other blemishes. If this sounds like the smile-transforming treatment you’ve been looking for, then don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team or keep reading!
Crowns
You have a big filling that needs replacement. Do you have to get a full crown? Not necessarily. A more conservative option is inlays and onlays, which fit into a tooth similarly to a filling. However, they are fabricated restorations, much like a crown. The bumps on top of a tooth are called cusps. Inlays fit between cusps while onlays fit over one or more cusps. Inlays and onlays allow a patient to retain more natural tooth structure, which is always best.
Bridges
To replace one or a few consecutive missing teeth, dental bridges are a natural-looking solution. A replacement tooth (also known as a pontic) is fused to two dental crowns on either side. These crowns are then attached to surrounding healthy teeth. This prosthetic is called a dental bridge or fixed bridge. It is a semi-permanent and long-lasting tooth replacement solution.
Dental Bonding
If you have a chipped, slightly misaligned or otherwise imperfect tooth that needs cosmetic restoration, we may suggest cosmetic bonding. The dentist will apply a composite resin that is shaded to blend with your tooth's natural color to rebuild your tooth’s pleasing shape. After hardening the resin with a curing light, he will artistically sculpt and polish the restoration. In just one visit you can enjoy a beautiful new smile!
Restorative Dentistry
The best way to cash in on dental insurance for the good of your wallet and your oral health is to schedule and attend two checkups and cleanings per year. These visits are 100% covered by dental insurance, and you’ve already paid for them through your monthly premium -- so be sure to take advantage! With routine preventive care, you can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease to prevent the need for restorative dentistry altogether.

Root Canal Treatment
The only definitive way to determine what type of treatment your tooth needs is to schedule an appointment with one of our doctors for a thorough exam. We will take X-rays in order to find any signs of deep decay and infection. Though this exam is pivotal in the diagnosis of a root canal infection, there are some more obvious signs that you can see at home between appointments. If you notice any of the following, it is imperative that you contact us as soon as possible to schedule your exam...

Dentures
You can begin to notice a change in the shape of their face. When teeth are missing, the roots that had stimulated a healthy jawbone are no longer there. Consequently, bone begins to degenerate and the facial structure suffers and sags. While traditional dentures can do a lot to restore the natural appearance of your face, they ultimately cannot reignite healthy new bone growth.

Dental Implants
Patients can experience truly comprehensive dental care when they come to see our team of skilled and friendly doctors. Do you have sons or daughters who are in need of a gentle touch when it comes to their smiles? Our general and children's dentistry care is infused with the utmost compassion and thoroughness. What about if you have a damaged or dingy smile? Our cosmetic, restorative and implant dentistry patients can't get enough of our stellar services that are designed to restore function and beauty to even the most lackluster set of teeth. Our emergency care can treat those pesky accidents that happen at the worst times as well. To learn more about our variety of services, click here.

Our knowledgeable doctors and highly trained staff look forward to providing you with the gentle, personalized care you want and deserve.
Bone Grafting
If for any reason they find a reason you are not eligible for dental implants, it’s possible they could still be in your future; however, you will need to make some changes. If your jawbone is weak, you can opt to have a bone grafting procedure performed to add extra bone to the weakened area. If you smoke, you will need to quit immediately. If you have gum disease or tooth decay, you will need to take care of these problems before moving forward with dental implants. From there, we can plan your dental implant treatment depending on how many teeth you’re missing.

Orthodontics
Our dentists are always here to help remove irreparably damaged teeth and wisdom teeth for patients in need. We also can perform oral surgery to prepare for other dental procedures, such as dentures, partial dentures, bridges or orthodontics. Rather than travel to another office to have your oral surgery performed, you can sit back and relax here at Smile Fitness Dental Center with the team you have already grown to know and trust.
Braces
Your new patient exam will take about 30 minutes, or 60 minutes if you schedule an exam with a cleaning. We’ll give you your paperwork to complete first. Your dentist will then introduce himself and talk with you about any dental concerns you may have. We will take a complete set of X-rays and do a comprehensive exam checking for decay, signs of gum disease, oral cancer symptoms, jaw problems or the need for braces.

Teeth Whitening
Not every patient prefers the in office method for teeth whitening. Some experience sensitivity when they use in office whitening, while others may just prefer to whiten their smile in the comfort of their own home. That's why our dental office also offers home whitening.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Every day, our dentists are enhancing the smiles and lives of people just like you through advanced cosmetic dentistry. In a society like ours where the way your smile looks can make a tremendous difference, having a team you can trust to give you the dazzling teeth of your dreams is important.
