You deserve to enjoy your best smile in cosmetic dentistry Scottsdale, AZ, and our doctors at Desert Vista Dental can help! If stains, gaps, and other dental flaws have stolen your self-confidence, cosmetic treatment options can create the dazzling improvements you dream of.

If you prefer to whiten your teeth at a more gradual pace or on your own schedule, at-home solutions are also available from our team. The patient’s job is to wear their new Opalescence oral trays and high-grade whitening gel together whenever they have the chance for a certain amount of time each day – this can be done when you’re completing chores, watching TV, or simply relaxing after putting the kids to bed. After a few weeks of diligent use, patients should start to see significant, beautiful changes.
Cosmetic bonding is an affordable cosmetic solution that can be successfully used to treat relatively minor cosmetic imperfections, including cracks, chips, gaps, and misaligned or misshaped teeth. The material used is called composite resin, which is also used to build tooth-colored fillings. Our doctors will select the closest match to your natural smile’s color and then apply the composite resin, carefully sculpting it into place to create the most pleasing and seamless appearance. Once securely in place, the addition will look and function just like natural enamel! Better yet, it can last for quite some time with the right levels of personal and professional maintenance.
Dental implants offer patients several valuable benefits when compared to more traditional tooth replacement options. Their versatile nature means that one or several teeth can be seamlessly recreated, and the resulting prosthetic can be treated just like a natural tooth.
To secure a bridge or denture, our dentists may recommend dental implants. These small, titanium posts anchor the prosthetic in the jawbone, preventing the need to crown healthy teeth and promoting jawbone regeneration. We both place and restore dental implants at our Scottsdale office.

If you struggle with stained, chipped, or crowded teeth and would like a quick, conservative solution, porcelain veneers may be the right answer for you. These thin shells of porcelain can completely transform a smile with very little alteration to natural tooth structure. Our dentists will custom design porcelain veneers that complement your age, gender, and facial profile.
Strength and Beauty
Porcelain sounds too delicate for teeth, right? With veneers, special layering techniques make the porcelain extremely durable, and the bonding methods we use reinforce the veneers’ strength. Because porcelain is semi-translucent and it can be tinted to match any tooth color, it closely mimics the appearance of natural tooth enamel. Your friends, neighbors, and coworkers could have porcelain veneers, and you wouldn’t even know it.
instant Orthodontics
Veneers are often referred to as “instant orthodontics” because they can cover gaps and misalignments in just two visits. They prove an excellent alternative to traditional braces, which can take years of treatments and still deliver less-than-satisfactory results.
