- Oral Cancer ScreeningNinety percent of oral cancer cases can be cured in the early stages. As part of your wellness exam, we offer Velscope oral cancer screenings. During this painless process, our hygienist thoroughly examines the soft tissues of your mouth with a blue spectrum light. A total of two minutes is all that is necessary to detect any signs of mouth cancer. Give yourself and your body the best opportunity for a long, healthy life and contact us to schedule your routine hygiene visit.
- Teeth CleaningThe best thing you can do for yourself is to maintain an oral hygiene maintenance program through regularly scheduled cleaning appointments. During each dental cleaning appointment we evaluate your oral health by reviewing your history, performing an oral cancer screening and taking digital x-rays. Prevention not only gives you peace of mind, but can spare you expenses and problems down the road.
- VeneersOne way to achieve a gorgeous smile is through the application of veneers. We offer porcelain veneers and Lumineers at our Phoenix family dental practice. With technical precision, our skilled doctors provide a natural looking color and finish, artfully designed to fit perfectly onto the surface of each tooth.
- CrownsA bridge is a restorative device designed to fill the space left by one or more missing teeth. A bridge spans this gap, and is secured by being anchored to crowns on the adjacent teeth. A bridge restores the ability to chew, the alignment of teeth, and the shape of a person’s mouth and face.

- Dental BondingCovering minor flaws like chips and cracks, discoloration and stains, gaps, and tooth shape does not always require intense cosmetic treatment. Depending on the number of teeth, cosmetic bonding requires very little preparation and can be completed in one visit. Our Phoenix doctors at Dental Design of Arcadia pay close attention to ensure the perfect natural shape and polish that complements your natural teeth. The result is flawless, natural, and affordable.

- Osseous SurgeryOsseous Surgery is used to reshape deformities and remove pockets in the alveolar bone surrounding the teeth. It is a common necessity in the effective treatment of more advanced periodontal diseases. The ultimate goal of osseous surgery is to reduce or eliminate the periodontal pockets that cause periodontal disease.
- Tooth ExtractionsNatural teeth are ideal for biting, chewing and maintaining mouth and jawbone structure, which is why our first priority is to help restore, save and repair your natural teeth. However, sometimes a tooth extraction is unavoidable. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth that have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease or dental trauma, especially when they are associated with a toothache. Sometimes wisdom teeth are impacted (stuck and unable to grow normally into the mouth) and may cause recurrent infections of the gums. In orthodontics if the teeth are crowded, sound teeth may be extracted to create space so the rest of the teeth can be straightened.
- OrthodonticsSometimes rest and an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory will provide relief. If your symptoms do not go away, treatments usually include using mouth guards, short-term appliances, or long term orthodontics specifically designed to restore your jaw and teeth to their correct positions.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsThe Invisalign System is a series of comfortable and easy to wear clear orthodontic appliances called aligners. These aligners are custom sized to slide over your teeth and, once inserted, they are virtually invisible to others around you. They can be removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss. No other orthotic system works as conveniently for creating stunning results!
