Testimonials
"I use to think that dentist were just mechanics of the mouth. After my initial exam with Dr. Wong I hold much higher respect for dentist. The quality patient care and the professionalism that AZ dental healthcare provides truely made my dental experience pleasurable and informative. They were there to answer all my questions and always attended to my needs." Michelle Choe
"Dr. Hashemian was very caring and spent alot of time answering my questions. I found his patient educational videos to be very helpful and informative. He made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole treatment and his injections were practically painless. I finally found a dentist that I can truley rely on to provide me with the best dental care." Marsha Bridgett
"I used to be so fearful of going to the dentist but after seeing Dr. Wong
my attitude has completely changed. I could never imagine actually having a root canal done on me. Dr. Wong with his gentle approach and great patient care got me through the treatment. My fear is over and I can now finish my dental treatment without all the anxiety. I'm planning to bring my family for a complete check up. Thanks Dr. Wong." Brian Tabalon

Dental Bridge Procedure
Information on Dental Bridges
Do you have any missing teeth? Whether it's one tooth or a few, a bridge may be the right procedure for you. Like the name suggests, a dental bridge basically "bridges" the gap that is created by any missing teeth. A dental bridge consists of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap where the missing tooth once was. The two teeth are anchoring teeth, which are also called abutment teeth. The gap is either made up of porcelain, gold, or alloys to form a false tooth.

Benefits of dental bridges include:
- Smile restoration
- A better ability to eat/speak
- Prevention of other teeth shifting their position
- An overall improved appearance
There are three main types of dental bridges. Aside from the basic, traditional bridge, there are cantilever bridges and Maryland bonded bridges. With a traditional bridge - the most commonly used type of bridge - a crown is created for the teeth on either side of the gap. They are made of ceramics or porcelain fused to metal. When there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth, cantilever bridges are used. Maryland bonded bridges consist of plastic teeth and gums that are supported by metal framework which are bonded to existing teeth. These are also sometimes referred to as resin-bonded bridges.
The first visit at the dental office involves preparation of the abutment teeth, which consists of teeth recontouring and removing part of the enamel so that a crown can be placed over them. Impressions of the teeth are then made. A temporary bridge is created so that your exposed teeth and gums are protected while the bridge is being made. This temporary bridge is removed during the second visit and replaced with the new, permanent bridge. Dental bridges typically last anywhere between 5 and 15 years.
