At My Scottsdale Dentist you can expect to fix those unsightly dental issues painlessly with state-of-the-art lumineers in our Scottsdale AZ office.

In case you have not heard of lumineers before, they are quite simply the more advanced version of a veneers, or laminates. Dental veneers are traditionally adhered to your teeth in the front to correct such common issues as blemishes, discoloration or improper spacing of the teeth.

A lumineer is the newest version of a veneer, and much thinner than traditional veneers. Often times this means that the lumineers can be fitted to your existing teeth much easier, and without as much or little tooth preparation associated with traditional veneers.

Because of the way they are attached to your current teeth, there is most often very little to no pain with a lumineer and healing time is very quick for our patients.

What Issues Can Lumineers Correct?

Lumineers are indicated for a wide variety of dental issues including:

- Chipped or worn teeth

- Pointed or "fanged" teeth

- Stained teeth

- Slight crowding of teeth

- Small teeth

What Can I Expect From the Procedure?

The procedure for installing lumineers on your teeth is fairly straight forward. Generally you will come in and get fitted for a mold, then the finished lumineers will be installed. In many cases Dr. Poulos will be able to finish the installation in just a few visits.

So if you are wishing that your smile could be straighter, brighter and more dazzling it certainly can! With just a few visits to the friendly staff at My Scottsdale Dentist your smile will be on its way to looking its best once again.

If you live in Scottsdale AZ and have been thinking about having your teeth straightened, you are not alone. At My Scottsdale Dentist we understand how important it is to always look your best, which is why Dr. Steve Poulos uses the revolutionary Invisalign system for safe teeth straightening.

What turns so many people off about getting traditional braces is the unsightly look of them. Most adults simply do not want to walk around with sharp metal in their mouths all day to fix a dental problem. But with the Invisalign system, there is no unsightly metal to get in the way of your new and improved smile.

Invisalign uses the very latest in technology to create your customized aligners. After Dr. Poulos and you decide what issues you will be correcting, the aligners will be made according to the sequence that is needed. As one set of Invisalign straightens your teeth to the maximum, the next set will be ready to be put to use to continue the efforts.

Each step in the system will be worn for approximately two weeks. You only need to remove them when eating, flossing and brushing your teeth. What is great about the system is that pain and cuts are greatly minimized due the complete lack of sharp metal that will not be present in your mouth.

Many of Dr. Poulos's patients agree that wearing Invisalign are quite comfortable to wear in addition to the fantastic results you will achieve. Before you begin treatment, you will also be able to see what the final product will look like with the aid of sophisticated computer modeling.

And because your aligners are clear, you will be able to show off your smile during the entire treatment all the way up until the end, when your smile finally looks like you have been dreaming of all these years.

A beautiful smile does not have to hurt, and anyone should be able to have one. With the Invisalign system and the friendly folks at My Scottsdale Dentist your dreams of beautiful straight teeth can become your reality.

Do You Need Dental Implants in Scottsdale AZ?

It happens to so many of us. Whether it is due to age, diet, bad habits or just less than perfect genes, we can all end up with a smile that is less than dramatic and wonderful. One major problem for so many people is that some of the solutions available in dentistry are not permanent.

At My Scottsdale Dentist there is no need to worry about that though. If you are missing teeth because of any number of circumstances, Dr. Poulos has the perfect, and permanent solution for you. With over 30 years of practical experience, Dr. Poulos can get your smile looking great again in no time.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a very strong, permanent solution for individuals missing teeth due to any circumstance that life may have thrown at you. The procedure can take several months to finish because there are several steps involved in creating the implants that will be placed in the mouth.

Essentially you will have metal anchors placed in the jaw bone that will serve as the main implant. For a period of a few months these anchors will heal and attach themselves to your jaw for a natural and strong fit. Once the area is healed up, the actual tooth will be placed over the anchor and secured.

The procedure can take up to 8 months or slightly more, but while you are having the work done you will be able to function normally and carry on with your life without any disruptions. You can be sure that when you visit Dr. Poulos at My Scottsdale Dentist that you are in the best hands in the area for your dental implant needs.

If you have been left with a less than perfect smile due to circumstances beyond your control, visit our office today to find out how you can get your beautiful smile back. You will not regret it.
