At AZ Family Dental, our extensively trained prosthodontist allows us to provide a unique set of dental specialties for our patients. We offer professional diagnoses, treatment planning, teeth restoration, and teeth replacement. Along with our highly skilled dentists, our prosthodontist enhances the beauty and restores the function of teeth. They can work with patients to restore and replace teeth throughout the mouth using treatments like dentures, crowns, and dental implants.
One of our newest offerings is All-on-X (commonly referred to as “Teeth In A Day” on TV). All-on-X utilizes dental implants to replace all of the teeth on a jaw to restore a mouth with a functional and beautiful dentition. Our prosthodontist can customize to each patient’s needs and use this procedure on mouths where the majority of teeth are compromised or missing.
