- Dental ExaminationDental implants are a great solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. When a person loses a tooth, the bone starts to become narrow and dwindle away. Dr. Paul Douglas of Douglas Family Dentistry is an expert in Scottsdale for dental implants. Dental implants can help preserve the bone level that is needed for function, health, and facial anatomy and speech. Some people may also start to have trouble with their self-esteem due to missing teeth. Our professional dental team can perform a thorough dental exam to determine whether or not you’re a candidate for dental implants in Scottsdale.

- VeneersDental veneers in Scottsdale Arizona from Douglas Family Dentistry are a great option to help change the shape, size, and color of teeth. Veneers also help replace missing tooth structure. In some cases, acid erosion, medications, high acidic diets as well as bite-related issues can aid in diminishing a person’s enamel. Veneers are a great replacement for natural enamel and porcelain is the next best thing to enamel. Veneers can reflect light giving it a realistic appearance.
- CrownsThe practice has actively participated in and supported the Crown Council’s ‘Smiles for Life’ campaign in association with Garth Brooks’ Teammates for Kids Foundation.
- BridgesDental implants are placed directly and secured into the jawbone. They replace the root of a tooth that is being treated. After this is placed, the implant fuses with the jawbone so it becomes one unit. These dental implants can be restored with the use of crowns, dental bridges, or even dentures. In order to make sure that someone’s teeth and gums remain healthy, a regular oral hygiene routine is needed. The implants should be kept clean and free of plaque with regular brushing and flossing. Our cosmetic dentist at Douglas Family Dentistry can work directly with patients to suggest the proper at-home dental routine for each patient. Periodic follow-up visits are also needed to monitor someone’s progress.
- Restorative DentistryDr. Paul Douglas of Douglas Family Dentistry is an expert for veneers. Ultimately, veneers are a great option to pick the shade that you always wanted. They can be done with little to absolutely no removal of tooth structure. However, a consultation is needed from our experienced cosmetic dentist in order to determine if you’re a candidate for the restorative dentistry procedure. Our cosmetic dentist can decide which type of veneers will be best for your dental health.
- Deep CleaningFrom this, we develop a treatment plan that will involve modifying risk factors when possible. It may include a deep-cleaning method called scaling and root planning, and in some instances, surgery, depending on how far the disease has progressed.
- DenturesA denture is an option that can replace some to all missing teeth. There are two types of dentures. A complete denture is one that replaces all missing teeth. A partial denture replaces missing teeth that anchors to natural teeth. A complete denture usually will stay in place from suction created.

- Oral Surgery
- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsBecause we are a practice focused on families, we understand the impact certain dental procedures can have on family finances. Fillings, extractions, orthodontics, knocked out teeth and other routine and dental emergencies can create quite a bit of disruption in a family’s budget.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsThe first visit consists of taking digital scans, photos, and x-rays. These will be submitted to the Invisalign lab, along with a prescription from Dr. Douglas on how the movement needs to be completed. The Invisalign lab custom designs the trays, which are changed out every two weeks. Our hygienists have noticed our patients with crowding that choose to experience Invisalign have had pocket reduction leading to a healthier mouth.
- BracesThe first visit consists of digital scans and photos and x-rays. These will be submitted to Invisalign along with a prescription completed by the Doctor on how the movement needs to be done. These clear braces work with multiple trays that are changed out every two weeks. An average case is about eleven months. In less than one year, our patients in Scottsdale with Invisalign can enjoy an improved smile. When teeth are crowded, it can cause bacteria to gather between teeth. Due to the crowding, flossing cannot properly clean the area oftentimes leading to periodontal disease.
- Teeth WhiteningThere are many different kinds of teeth whitening systems that a person can use to enhance their smile. Some over-the-counter remedies will offer a small improvement for users, while other systems, available only through dental professionals, will provide a noticeable difference.
- Cosmetic DentistryAt Douglas Family Dentistry, we recognize that cosmetic dentistry offers patients so much more than just an improved smile—its benefits can be life-changing with enhanced health and increased confidence. All of the dentists at Douglas recommend uniquely tailored treatments only after close consultation with and evaluation of each patient’s needs. For anxious patients, we provide specialized techniques to ensure truly worry-free, positive, and comfortable office visits.
- General DentistryA common problem for many general dentistry patients is jaw pain. If you’ve ever had to deal with chronic jaw pain, then you know how annoying and painful it can be. Daily activities like chewing your food and even drinking your favorite beverages can become a chore if you are suffering from jaw pain and increased sensitivity. Although it can be difficult to diagnose, jaw pain can result from sinus pressure, TMJ, or even a dental infection. Even though you may not always know where it comes from at first, relieving jaw pain can be incredibly easy when you work a qualified general dentist from our Scottsdale dental practice.
