Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  During a quick dental exam, one of our trained hygenists will take a dental x-ray and thoroughly clean your teeth, removing stains and looking for signs of decay and soft spots. Decay often happens with no physical symptoms like pain or sensitivity. Treating and preventing cavities is much easier during early stages, and they're typically detected during these regular checkups.
• X-rays
  To best prevent the damaging and painful effects of periodontal disease, visit your friendly local dental technicians at Anderson Dental. Our team provides comprehensive dental-care services for adults and children located throughout Payson, Arizona, and the surrounding communities. We offer gum disease treatment, preventive checkups and cleanings, as well as cosmetic solutions. At Anderson Dental, we strive to always create soothing and comfortable atmospheres for dental patients of all ages and provide personalized care. For all new patients, we even offer free dental exams and X-rays.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Daily brushing and flossing and regular professional dental cleanings can greatly reduce your chance of developing Periodontal Disease. Establishing good brushing and flossing techniques is essential to preventing gum disease, and your local dentists at Anderson Dental can spot and treat plaque buildup before it becomes periodontal disease.
• Fluoride Treatment

Restorative

• Fillings
  By trusting Anderson Dental with your cavity filling, no one will even know it's there. Our dentists use tooth-colored fillings that are durable and permanent instead of older silver amalgams. These tooth-colored fillings are made from blended resins resembling a tooth’s dentin. Non-amalgam fillers bond to the tooth to prevent loosening or breakages that are often problems associated with silver fillings. These non-amalgam fillings improve overall tooth structure and health, and we highly recommend them for medium and large cavities.
• Resin Composite
  Because tooth-colored fillings made of composite resins offer bonding properties that improve overall tooth structure and health, our Payson, AZ dentists highly recommend this type of tooth filling to fill medium- and large-sized cavities. A cavity that has not extended past the tooth's enamel layer could either worsen or heal itself by remineralizing, depending on a person's oral hygiene practices.
• Veneers
  A dental veneer is a procedure where a thick layer of tooth-colored resin is glued to a tooth's surface. It's shaped to compensate for the break in the tooth and is popular in repairing front teeth that have been damaged.
• Crowns
  Dental crowns are strong, stable restorations that help a tooth regain its structure after being injured or affected by decay. While fillings are used to strengthen a small portion of a tooth, a crown plays a larger role in protecting the whole tooth. Sometimes called a "cap", a dental crown is created to look like natural enamel and covers a tooth's above-the-gum surface completely.
• Bridges
  Your brand new, beautiful dental bridge can be placed in just two short visits to our office located in Payson, Arizona. During your first appointment, your dentist will prepare the neighboring teeth and take an impression of the space. A temporary bridge is created for you to wear while the permanent fixture is being crafted at the laboratory. When you return, your bridge is carefully bonded into place and adjusted with your guidance.
• Dental Bonding
  Similar to a filling, a tooth bonding procedure is typically used when the tooth damage happens to front or visible teeth. It's a process where the dentist adheres a tooth-colored resin to the broken tooth and hardens the resin with a UV light after shaping it.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  If you’re feeling severe pain in your tooth or you experience tenderness when you touch it, you may need to come in for a root canal treatment. At Anderson Dental, we offer a comfortable and efficient procedure within a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Here are some things you should know about our root canal treatment.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Periodontitis begins with gingivitis, a gum disease causing gums to swell, redden and bleed. Unless gingivitis is reversed with professional periodontal care in Payson, AZ, teeth may begin to decay and loosen while areas where your teeth meet your gums swell with infection. A deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing is an aggressively effective treatment for periodontitis.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Many older adults have lost their natural teeth and need a full set of false teeth, called dentures, or a partial. Dentures help people eat and speak much more easily. They also support your facial muscles and give you a more youthful appearance. At Anderson Dental, we can help you care for your dentures as well as decide what type of dentures is right for you.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are metal frames that are surgically placed in your jawbone beneath your gums. The main reason for a dental implant is to hold a bridge or a replacement tooth.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  No one better understands the anxiety that oral surgery causes. Even longed-for smile correction surgery can make the most enthusiastic patient worried on appointment day. The good news is, at the Payson, Arizona practice of Anderson Dental, we make dental surgical procedures such as extractions easier to manage with gentle and effective treatment.
• Tooth Extractions
  Wisdom tooth extraction is a common oral surgical procedure. Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to emerge from the gums and are often misaligned. They can also become impacted between the jaw and gum, causing swelling and pain. Removing these teeth is necessary because they frequently become infected and cause serious complications; also, when not properly aligned with the rest of the mouth, they can cause crowding.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Our main goal at Anderson Dental is to ensure you have healthy teeth. However, along with that, we also want you to enjoy bright, white teeth that leave you smiling. The appearance of your teeth matters as much to us as it does to you. That's why we offer bleaching and professional teeth whitening services at our office in Payson, AZ. If you struggle with yellow teeth and you're ready for a whiter smile, then it's time to contact us to make an appointment.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  A full-mouth restoration, also referred to as a full-mouth reconstruction, involves several cosmetic dentistry procedures designed to improve the health and appearance of your smile. Restorations are usually recommended for clients who have teeth that are damaged, worn down, or missing completely.
• General Dentistry
  The best way to prevent periodontitis is to receive regular dental checkups and to maintain good oral hygiene practices. To schedule an appointment with a Payson dentist for cleanings or other general dentistry services, give us a call at
