Fillings
Crowns
At this point, you will need to return to your dentist as soon as possible in order to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality.
Bridges
A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. The other common treatment for the loss of a single tooth, a tooth-supported fixed bridge, requires that adjacent teeth be ground down to support the cemented bridge.
Restorative Dentistry
Over the next 10 years, Dr. Helvey grew a successful practice focusing on cosmetic and restorative dentistry, married his wife Magdalena, and had their son Aleksander. Eventually, Dr. Helvey decided to pursue his goal of specializing as an endodontist and was accepted to the highly competitive endodontic program at the VA Long Beach Medical Center. Dr. Helvey sold his practice in Idaho and the family moved to California where he graduated with his Certificate in Endodontics in 2012. The Helvey’s then settled in Denver, Colorado where Dr. Helvey practiced as an endodontist until they moved to Arizona in the spring of 2020.

Root Canal Treatment
Cleaning the highly complex anatomy of the root canal system can present a real challenge in root canal therapy. Our practice is meeting this challenge like never before with the state-of- the-art endodontic technology of the GentleWave
Apicoectomy
Damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone may also be treated with this procedure. The most common surgery used to save damaged teeth is an apicoectomy or root-end resection.

Dentures
Finally, full bridges or full dentures will be created for you and attached to small metal posts, called abutments, or the connecting device. After a short time, you will experience restored confidence in your smile and your ability to chew and speak.

Dental Implants
After his residency, he went on to a 21 year private practice career in South New Jersey growing his office to the largest dental surgical specialty practice in his 3 county area. In private practice, he performed all types of hard and soft tissue grafting techniques along with traditional periodontal procedures aimed at saving teeth. He has placed over 10,000 implants in his career and is proud to have used CT technology (3D Imaging) for enhanced diagnosis, treatment planning and guided surgery during the majority of his practice career. He is also one of few specialists in this area that is certified in the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique which is a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure for correcting gum recession.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Following dental school, a one year hospital general practice residency at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia was completed. While attending his residency, Dr. Khalifa successfully completed training in Emergency Medicine, Oral Surgery, Plastic surgery and Internal Medicine as well as General Hospital Based Dentistry.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is usually relatively straightforward, and the vast majority can be usually performed quickly while the individual is awake by using local anesthetic injections to eliminate painful sensations. Local anesthetic blocks pain, but mechanical forces are still felt. Some teeth are more difficult to remove for several reasons, especially related to the tooth's position, the shape of the tooth roots and the integrity of the tooth. Extractions can be qualified as "Simple Extractions" which do not involve the refection of the gum tissue or "Surgical Extractions" where the tooth may be broken down or fractured and reflection of the gum tissue is necessary in order to effectively and atraumatically remove the tooth.
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation can fill in this defect recapturing the natural contour of the gums and jaw. A new tooth can then be created that is natural looking, easy to clean and beautiful.
Bone Grafting
REGENERATIVE PROCEDURES (Bone Grafting)Procedures that regenerate lost bone and tissue supporting your teeth can reverse some of the damage caused by periodontal disease.

Orthodontics
A dental extraction (also referred to as tooth extraction, exodontia, exodontics, or informally, tooth pulling) is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease or dental trauma, especially when they are associated with toothache. Sometimes wisdom teeth are impacted(stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) and may cause recurrent infections of the gum (pericoronitis). In orthodontics if the teeth are crowded, sound teeth may be extracted (often bicuspids) to create space so the rest of the teeth can be straightened.
