Dental Services in our Sahuarita, AZ Office
Our dental services help patients stay healthy and treat any problems that develop over time. These services can also maintain good oral health habits and treat sudden or persistent oral health issues.
Cosmetic Dentistry
With cosmetic dental care, we help patients achieve aesthetic goals for their smile:
- Invisalign: This orthodontic treatment uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. Invisalign is an excellent treatment for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic issues.
- Porcelain Veneers: Our tooth-colored porcelain veneers cover single teeth like shells to brighten and straighten the smile. We can cover all of the teeth in the smile line with veneers.
- Teeth Bonding: Dental bonding treatment uses composite to cover minor cosmetic imperfections like chips or cracks in the enamel. Bonding is a more economical alternative to veneers.
- Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening treatment lifts tooth stains from the enamel with quick results. Oftentimes, we will recommend professional in-office whitening for patients attending special events.
General Dentistry
Our general dental treatments prevent future dental problems and stop the progression of current dental concerns:
- Custom Mouthguard: Wearing a custom sports mouthguard during contact sports prevents tooth damage and loss. Patients with braces and other orthodontics can also receive custom mouthguards.
- Emergency Dentistry: In the event of a dental emergency, please call our office. We offer prompt care for patients with broken or missing teeth, tooth abscesses, and more.
- Family Dentistry: We provide dental care for the whole family, from routine cavity prevention to restorations.
- Sedation Dentistry: Dental sedation ensures patients feel relaxed and comfortable during treatment. Sometimes, patients will not remember their treatment or fall asleep during their procedure under sedation.
- Tooth Extraction: We will recommend extraction for impacted wisdom teeth and severely infected teeth. Dr. Morris will also recommend implant dentistry to replace permanent teeth after extraction.
Restorative Dentistry
With restorative dental care, Dr. Morris can help patients renew the form and function of the smile:
- Dental Bridge: A dental bridge closes the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Bridges replace missing teeth with consecutive false teeth secured by crowns or implants.
- Dental Crown: Tooth crowns cover teeth like caps. Crowns can cover implants and address tooth wear or damage.
- Dental Implants: Implants secure dental restorations that replace one or more missing teeth. Dental implants are also one of the most stable restorative options for patients with lost permanent teeth.
- Dentures & Partials: A denture replaces rows or arches of lost teeth and improves patients’ bites and the smile’s aesthetics. Dental implants can also secure dentures for longer-lasting results.
- Periodontal Disease Treatment: Gum disease is a highly damaging dental problem that leads to gum recession and missing teeth. We can address gum disease symptoms with regular specialized cleanings like scaling and root planing.
- TMJ Treatment: TMJ disorders lead to problems like teeth clenching and grinding, headaches, and tooth wear. A soft diet, physical therapy, and custom nightguards can help patients with TMD.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for porcelain veneers or bonding?
You’re a good candidate for veneers if you want a durable, long-term solution to fix discolored, chipped, or slightly misaligned teeth. Bonding works well for smaller cosmetic fixes or minor damage. Veneers are stronger and more stain-resistant, while bonding is faster and less expensive. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, budget, and dental health to recommend your best choice.
Can Invisalign fix bite issues like overbite or crossbite?
Yes, Invisalign can effectively correct bite issues such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite. For more severe bite problems, you might need traditional braces. We’ll carefully evaluate your bite and clearly outline if Invisalign can achieve the alignment results you’re looking for.
How long do professional teeth whitening results typically last?
Professional teeth whitening results typically last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your diet and oral hygiene. Drinking coffee, wine, and tea regularly or smoking can shorten whitening effects. Regular dental cleanings and occasional touch-ups at home or in-office help maintain your bright smile.
Is sedation dentistry safe for children and seniors?
Sedation dentistry is generally safe for children and seniors when performed by qualified dental professionals who assess each patient individually. Children receive carefully calculated lower doses based on their weight. Seniors, on the other hand, undergo thorough medical history reviews to check for potential medication interactions.
Most patients experience no complications, though seniors with certain health conditions may require adjustments to sedation methods or monitoring during the procedure. We will discuss all risks and benefits beforehand to ensure the safest approach for your situation.
How long does it take to heal after a tooth extraction?
Most people heal within one to two weeks after a tooth extraction, with initial discomfort typically subsiding in a few days. Complete healing of the bone and tissue underneath takes several weeks to months. Carefully following aftercare instructions helps speed your recovery and prevents complications like infection or dry socket.
What are the early warning signs of gum disease?
Early warning signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums that bleed easily when you brush or floss. You might notice persistent bad breath that doesn’t go away with brushing or mouthwash. Some people experience gum recession, where gums pull away from teeth, making teeth appear longer than normal. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a dental appointment soon—catching gum disease early makes treatment much more effective.
