Our Dental Services

 

Dentique offers a full range of dental services under one roof, from routine cleanings to smile makeovers. Our team combines general, cosmetic, restorative, and sedation dentistry so patients of every age and comfort level get the care they need without bouncing between offices. Below is a breakdown of each category and the specific treatments included, so you know exactly what to expect before you book a visit.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Boasting some of the best cosmetic dentists in Phoenix, AZ, Dentique focuses on improving the look of your smile, whether that means correcting stains, gaps, chips, or uneven teeth. These treatments are elective but can make a real difference in confidence and appearance, and many can be paired together for a full smile makeover. Here are the cosmetic treatments we offer:

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of your teeth to mask discoloration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignment. They are a good fit for patients who want a fast, dramatic cosmetic change without orthodontic treatment, and porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening uses higher-strength bleaching agents than over-the-counter kits to lift years of staining from coffee, wine, tobacco, or aging. It works best for patients with healthy enamel and no existing restorations on their front teeth, since crowns and fillings will not change color along with natural enamel.

Cosmetic Bonding

Bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair small chips, close gaps, or reshape a tooth in a single visit. It is one of the most affordable cosmetic options and suits patients who need a quick fix without the cost or wait time of veneers or crowns.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry repairs teeth that have been damaged by decay, trauma, or wear, with the goal of restoring both function and appearance. These treatments range from simple fillings to full tooth replacement, and they help patients chew comfortably, speak clearly, and avoid further oral health problems. Here are the restorative treatments we offer:

Root Canals

A root canal removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, then seals it to stop pain and prevent extraction. This treatment helps patients with a deep cavity, a cracked tooth, or an abscess who want to save the natural tooth rather than lose it, and modern techniques make the procedure comparable to getting a routine filling.

Dental Implants

Implants replace a missing tooth root with a titanium post that fuses with the jawbone, topped with a custom crown. They benefit patients missing one or more teeth who want a permanent, stable replacement that functions like a natural tooth, according to the American Dental Association.

Dental Crowns

A crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Dentists recommend crowns for teeth with large fillings, cracks, or after a root canal, when there is not enough healthy tooth structure left to support a smaller repair.

Dental Bridges

A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the natural teeth or implants on either side. This option suits patients who want a fixed, non-removable solution to restore chewing ability and prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place.

Dentures

Dentures are removable replacements for some or all of the upper and lower teeth, custom-fitted to each patient’s mouth. They help patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth regain the ability to eat and speak comfortably, at a lower cost than implant-supported alternatives.

General Dentistry

General dentistry covers the everyday care that keeps teeth and gums healthy and catches problems early, before they turn into bigger and more expensive issues. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that regular dental visits are one of the most effective ways to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, according to the CDC’s Oral Health resources. Here are the general treatments we offer:

Dental Cleanings and Exams

Routine cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that a toothbrush cannot reach, while the accompanying exam lets your dentist check for cavities, gum disease, and other early warning signs. Most patients benefit from a cleaning every six months, though some with a history of gum disease may need more frequent visits.

Fillings

Fillings repair teeth affected by cavities by removing the decayed portion and sealing the space with a tooth-colored composite material. This treatment is typically quick, done under local anesthetic, and helps stop decay from spreading deeper into the tooth.

Tooth Extractions

Extractions remove a tooth that is too damaged, infected, or crowded to save. Patients who need wisdom teeth removed, have a severely broken tooth, or are preparing for orthodontic treatment often need this procedure, and most simple extractions heal within a week or two.

Gum Disease Treatment

Treatment for gum disease ranges from deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced periodontal care for severe cases. It helps patients with bleeding, swollen, or receding gums stop the progression of disease that can otherwise lead to tooth loss.

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry helps patients who feel anxious, have a strong gag reflex, or need lengthy or complex procedures done in fewer visits. Options range from mild relaxation to deeper sedation, and your dentist will recommend a level based on your procedure and comfort needs. Here are the sedation options we offer:

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is a mild, inhaled sedative that helps patients relax during treatment while staying fully conscious and able to drive themselves home afterward. It works well for patients with mild to moderate anxiety or a low pain threshold who still want to remain alert during their appointment.

Oral Conscious Sedation

This method uses a prescribed pill taken before the appointment to produce a deeper state of relaxation than nitrous oxide alone. It suits patients with more significant dental anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures, though it requires a friend or family member to drive them home.
