Smile for first impressions.



A smile has a wonderful power to it no matter what language is spoken. It is one of the features people notice first. Can your teeth handle the role of the first impression and manage that kind of pressure? It’s amazing how you can say so many different things with your smile, without actually saying a word. Even if your teeth are pearly white you can’t forget about your breath. No matter how white and clean your teeth look, there could still be other reasons why you have bad breath, which is why it is important to keep up with your dental visits. Studies have shown that about 80% of bad breath comes from an oral source. Teeth cleaning is a vital part of oral hygiene, involving the removal of dental plaque from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. Dental hygienists can remove tartar that routine cleaning can miss. Teeth cleaning done by a dentist is recommended once a year. Of course continue taking care of your teeth and mouth by brushing and flossing twice a day. Summer is basically here and that means weddings, summer break, vacations, and many wonderful things that will make you smile so schedule your teeth cleaning appointment before summer is in full swing. Our office offers Apache Junction teeth cleaning in a friendly and cheerful environment, plus our office has a great view. See you soon.

The best beauty salon is the orthodontist’s office.



Did you know that all orthodontists are dentists but only five percent of dentists are orthodontists? Orthodontics is one of the nine specialized branches of dentistry dealing with "malocclusions," or bad bite. Orthodontics is one of the most rapidly evolving areas of dentistry. They examine and diagnose teeth alignment issues and develop treatments to solve them using an assortment of non-surgical methods to align the teeth and jaws; improving the patient's health and appearance. They use corrective appliances, including braces and retainers, to straighten crooked teeth and/or repair an irregular bite. Since the debut of the new, clear braces, orthodontic treatment has gone from something mainly for children and teenagers to a possibility for adults to take care of their dental issues with more discretion. This in turn helps boost self-confidence which can lead to positive changes. There are numerous reasons for orthodontists to treat a patient, including crowded teeth, which are a problem to clean; and misaligned bites such as an overbite, which make chewing food tougher and can create appearance issues. Teeth-straightening and extraction procedures done to improve alignment of remaining teeth has been practiced for quite a long time. Today, about one in every 50 people is being treated by an orthodontist and 25 percent of those people are adults. Many orthodontists work in private practices and hospitals; however some dental offices have an orthodontist on staff for their patient’s convenience just like our Apache Junction orthodontist.

Look forward to your next dental appointment.



What do you look for in a cosmetic dentist besides them taking your insurance? Most people will say welcoming and pleasant staff and doctors first. Logically that is the first thing people usually want. Location is also taken into consideration. Many people find a great dentist and if they move farther away they will spend the extra money in gas to go to the dentist office that is still home to them.  This really goes for any kind of doctor’s office. Finding a good cosmetic dentist is like striking gold when it really shouldn’t be right? I can personally relate to this actually. CVDentalCare, the Apache Junction cosmetic dentist office is the one I go to every time and I live in North Phoenix. I had a very unique situation and they thought outside of the box to get me smiling and happy again as quickly as possible. It gets better; I was actually turned down by a few other cosmetic dentists saying they could not help me at all. They did not even try or put the least bit of thought into it. I truly treasure my Apache Junction cosmetic dentist. I do not treasure the drive there and back but it is still more than worth it for me. Now back to the friendly staff part; my first impression was pretty perfect. This staff is very friendly and personable. They engage you in actual conversations not just the normal weather and upcoming holiday chit chat. They even personally follow up with details that you needed specific to only you, not just send an automated e-mail. The staff really seems to enjoy working there and that says a lot about this Apache Junction cosmetic dentist. You can tell they take pride in their work and care about their clients. Another positive, there is actually a great view from the patient chairs of the mountains. Remember to think outside of the box; maybe your dentist down the road is not the best choice simply because they are the closest. Finding a great cosmetic dentist should not be a rare.
