Welcoming your family to our dental family with advanced services, timeless quality care
Shine Dental Arts understands that members of your family can have many different and diverse needs. In turn, our team in Ahwatukee has selected a wide range of services to care for your family’s many (and evolving) needs. Drs. Vanessa L. Quihuis and Anthony F.R. Quihuis have made dental care convenient by providing all these preventative, general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry services under our roof. Our office also stands out in your search for a “dentist near me in Phoenix, Arizona,” with services and a warm, welcoming, health-focused approach that cannot be found at other offices.
Do I need to visit your office regularly?
Yes. Even if your teeth and gums look and feel healthy, our dentists must examine your mouth. They are trained to detect problems that might go unnoticed. These problems can progress and result in bigger damage without early treatment. Usually, visits are scheduled once every six months. During these appointments, our hygienists will also clean your teeth.
Why does your team need to clean my teeth?
Professional cleanings are different from the brushing and flossing that you do daily at home. Our hygienists are trained and equipped with the right tools to gently and thoroughly remove stubborn and damaging substances from your teeth. Substances like tartar cannot be removed with a toothbrush. Patients also love how their teeth look whiter and their mouth feels fresh after cleaning and polishing.
What if my teeth are damaged?
We have numerous ways to repair damage and restore the appearance, function, and health of cracked, decayed, and otherwise damaged teeth. For instance, teeth with smaller cavities may be treated with composite fillings. Teeth with larger cavities and more extensive damage can be restored with porcelain crowns. Even badly damaged teeth may be preserved with gentle root canal therapy.
What if my tooth cannot be preserved?
You may benefit from a conventional dental bridge or a crown supported by a dental implant. For our patients with greater needs on this front, we can use more than one implant to replace two or more teeth.
What if I do not like the look of my smile?
We have cosmetic dentistry treatments, too. You can preserve the appearance of your smile for a lifetime with dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and professional teeth whitening. We also offer a cosmetic and removable alternative to fixed braces to straighten teeth: Invisalign®.
How do you treat painful or inflamed gums?
When detected and treated early, the effects of gum disease can be reversed. Our dentists will recommend the best interventions for you based on factors such as the severity of damage to your gums. Changes to your oral hygiene, a professional cleaning, or even a deeper cleaning can prevent the disease. It is important to note that our care goes beyond treating the teeth. Our Ahwatukee team also treats Temporomandibular Joint Disorders symptoms with Botox® injections. As another example of services beyond caring for the teeth, regular visits may include an oral cancer screening. Early detection supports successful treatment.
