Veneers | Desert Smiles | Phoenix AZ

Monday, February 28th, 2011

My name is Ivan Johnson and I live in Phoenix AZ. My wife and I have been coming to Dr. Wilcox for all of our dental work  checkups, cavity issues and so forth for longer than I can remember.  A few years ago we had veneers for both the top and bottom teeth. I don’t know if I had any fears because Dr. Wilcox explained what was going to happen and what my teeth were going to look like. I find that they do a great job in preparing you for going through the process.  As a result of getting the veneers I probably smile more due to the fact that  I use to be a little bit concerned since my smile was not perfect, but now with the veneers, i no longer have that concern.

I absolutely would recommend Dr. Wilcox for a couple of reasons; one, the great service you get from the entire staff, the customer service here has always been outstanding. We just enjoy coming and having the work done here. My wife and I had veneers done by Dr. Wilcox and love the work done for us. We have been very happy, we think he’s done a great job and have never had a problem with the work that he’s done on us for dental.

Veneers | Desert Smiles | Avondale, AZ

Monday, February 21st, 2011

My name is LeAnn and I had a front tooth that died when I was about 17 years old that need to be replaced. When I had the tooth replaced; I told my dentist that it was too white and as I got older, my other teeth yellowed and my replacement tooth stood out like a neon sign.  With that one tooth the way that it was, I had to hide my smile, which was hard for me because I’m the kind of person that laughs all the time. That one tooth hindered my ability to enjoy myself,  so my husband offered to redo my teeth for me.

I went on the web looking for a dentist in my area and found a website that talked about all the different types of procedures that you could do and at the end of the website, the only recommended dentist listed was Dr. Wilcox. I called him and had veneers put on my teeth.  The procedure was wonderful, I didn’t have any problems, it was very comfortable, everyone was very nice and didn’t have any of the trauma of someone working on your teeth. It was wonderful. I have not had any problems with Desert Smiles Dentistry. After the procedure I have had comments all the time from people anywhere from the teenager behind the fast food counter to a couple that came to our garage sale and they would tell me “your teeth were beautiful, they’re beautiful.”

Upper Veneers | Desert Smiles | Glendale AZ

Monday, February 14th, 2011

My name is Fran Schall and I live in Glindale, AZ.  I have had extensive orthodontic treatments and orthodontic surgeries that eventually led to needing cosmetic surgery. These treatments  included porcelain veneers and replacement of my silver fillings for composite fillings. Dr. Wilcox is one of the most gentle dentists that I have ever experienced. He is very thorough and has never recommended anything that I thought was unnecessary, giving me options and choices that I really liked.

TMJ | Desert Smiles | Phoenix AZ

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

My name is Virginia S. and I decided to come to Dr. Wilcox because I had  a TMJ problem and I needed to have Full Mouth Reconstruction. I have been phobic of dentistry and when I came to see Dr. Wilcox his smile was very comforting. I am happy with the results.  The results were great and Dr. Wilcox is very patient.

I don’t have to use Sedation Dentistry in order to go to the dentist.  I like it here and I am very satisfied with the results.

I love everything about my results.  Starting off, when I am talking to someone they always make a comment about my teeth!  Not only are they beautiful, but all the work that was done was good. My mouth is functional, healthy, and I have no problems with them.  I don’t even think about the dental appliances in my mouth that are not mine. I think they are mine, and it makes me smile.

I am very happy with Desert Smiles and I want everyone to know how pleasant it is. The atmosphere…. to come here to be well taken care of, you’re not just a number, you’re not just a patient, you are someone that has a need that will be addressed and taken care of. Everyone will be very happy. I love it here. I will not go to any other dentist ever again.  I am going to stay here and so do my children.

Veneers | Desert Smiles | Buckeye AZ

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

My name is Michael D. and I am from Buckeye, AZ. I’ve been coming to this office for 20 to 25 years.

I had veneers for my top 4 teeth.  Over the years of lifting weights I had worn down my top four teeth, now they are replaced and looking good. I can actually smile again.

What’s good about it is that I am no longer insecure about smiling in front of a camera.  My experience here has been great, they are like family.  I have known all of the girls and Dr. Wilcox for about 25 years now.  Not only are they really professional, but they have grown on me like a family.

Full Mouth Reconstruction | Desert Smiles | Phoenix AZ

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

My name is Katie and I live in Phoenix, AZ. I was looking online for a place that does reconstructive surgery on my mouth and Desert Smiles was one of the results that popped up so I gave them a call. By the age of 21, I decided that I didn’t want to go through three years of braces, I had a lot of crowding in my mouth. Dr. Wilcox said that we could fix that with some reconstructive surgery and the cost was pretty much the same anyways.

I had reconstructive surgery done on my bottom teeth. I had porcelain veneers put it, so total reconstruction.It was like getting braces but having the results over night! It has been amazing. From day one, they have taken care of me, they made me feel at home, everyone is very friendly, and the outcome was fantastic.

The confidence that you get from having a perfect smile is phenomenal. You feel more comfortable in your own skin and you feel brighter, happier, and able to walk up to strangers.  My parents said the same thing. They have told me what a difference it has made in my own life. How much more outgoing is really the word for it. I am not self conscious.

The last thing you want to do is smile with your mouth closed in your own wedding pictures. I am going to be able to smile and be comfortable. That is all you want to do on your wedding day is just smile. There were no drawbacks and it wasn’t painful.

It was an instant gratification of a perfect smile and what it does for your life is worth every penny.

General Dentistry | Desert Smiles | Peoria AZ

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

My name is Jeremy and I live in Peoria, AZ and I first met Dr. Wilcox when I was just a few years old as my parents took me to see him when I was just a child. It was General Dental Care when I was growing up: cleanings, preventative care, and general cavities. I recently went in for some cosmetic work.  I was missing two of my adult teeth and I had them bonded originally, over time the bonding had worn off. So, I decided the next best option was to go with a more permanent Porcelain Veneer option. That was in 2002, so it has been over 8 years now.

I get a lot of compliments from people on how natural my teeth look, how white they look, how perfect they look which in my opinion is one of the best comments I could receive. How natural something looks that was unnatural.  I would recommend [this] to anyone that asks. I have referred a few people to Desert Smiles and some of them are patients now.

Porcelain Veneers | Desert Smiles | Paradise Valley AZ

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

“My name is Frank. I live in the Paradise Valley section of Phoenix Arizona. I escape in the summer to New York and Jersey Shore. Well I have to say I was the most reluctant person when it came to deciding to have something done. I had to get to a point where I was so disgusted with my smile, and really realized I neglected dental health. I sought out Dr. Wilcox. I was looking for a good dentist in the Phoenix area, and I read an article in Phoenix magazine, and he was listed as one of the top dentists for cosmetic dentistry in Phoenix. I gave them a call, and the rest is history. It was 100% better than i expected. I had cosmetic dentistry done and I had porcelain veneers put on extensively, top and bottom. It was a fantastic experience, I was a little concerned about the time it would take and the pain. And the staff made it a painless experience and I recommend the sedation. The staff was very courteous, very caring, and very sensitive to my needs and my fears. They made it a total wonderful experience, if you can say that going to the dentist is a wonderful experience, I can certainly say that of this team. I can say that first and foremost, the difference about having a fantastic smile is the the fact that your confidence grows by leaps and bounds. Of course professionally, confidence is something you need to have, and personally it has increased my confidence in my smile and my general appearance.”

Need Your Teeth Cleaned in Phoenix?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
At Desert Smiles, I am one of the hygienists here. I’ve worked for Dr. Wilcox for close to 18 years, and we here at Desert Smiles, we try to incorporate customer service with our clinical expertise. My favorite part of the job is, our patients coming in. They have become part of our dental family, we know about their kids, their family, and their work. I also like to be able to give them comfort while they are here. I inform them of the latest technology and the latest products. Anything to make their visit more comfortable and more productive. I think when we do something that makes a patient happy to be at the dental office, whether its combing their fears, whether it’s a smile makeover, that is one of the greatest benefits of working for Dr. Wilcox. Some of our patients are just so thrilled with their results that they refer patients, they are so happy they are no longer afraid to be at the dental office, and the best thing is when they refer other patients whom we then try to make comfortable also.

Porcelain Overlay | Desert Smiles| Dr. Wilcox

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

“My name is Joel, a friend recommended Dr. Wilcox. The main reason was a porcelain overlay. My experience was very very good and very pleasant. I had quite a few visits and the timing, the appointment timing was great. Everything was just as promised, I didn’t have to spend a lot of time waiting. I think everything just seemed to work well for me. It was comfortable it was pleasant. I do feel a lot better, I feel more confident in my smile. My wife loves it, she is always bragging to everybody and sending pictures to everyone, so yeah it’s great. I think it would be good for people to go and see Dr. Wilcox, he is very good with people, patients, and he is really good.”
