Restorative Dentistry in Chandler AZ

Restorative Dentistry to Rebuild Your Smile

Dr. Lopez showing a patient areas of tooth decay during his restorative dentistry appointment at Riggs Family Dental in Chandler AZPast accidents, active decay, and unexpected tooth loss can make it difficult to eat, speak, or even smile. Our Chandler dentist is here to provide restorative dentistry to bring your smile back to its full health… or even better.

As a SPEAR-trained dentist, Dr. Carlos Lopez is especially interested in finding out the underlying causes and factors contributing to dental problems. It could be a specific medical condition, past illnesses, or even certain habits. This information allows him to help his patients enhance their dental health and prevent additional problems in the future.

Repairing Areas of Tooth Decay

Cavities are typically associated with a lapse in flossing or even dietary choices. Symptoms can include things like:

  • Sensitivity
  • Problems with food sticking between teeth
  • Pain
  • Sharp or rough areas
  • The area feeling a bit “off”

Depending on the extent of the damage, a small white filling can be used to seal off the area and rebuild the tooth. Unfortunately, larger cavities cannot always be filled, as everyday use could cause the restoration or tooth to break off. In these cases, we would recommend a full coverage crown. Crowns are a restorative dentistry procedure also used to protect teeth that have recently been restored with a root canal.

Same Day Treatments

One of the crown options that we provide is CEREC same day crowns. CEREC crowns are extremely durable, with studies showing that Cad Cam ceramics are the 2nd longest lasting restoration behind gold.

Dr. Lopez and Dr. Lamborn recommend same-day crowns in most cases due to their numerous benefits, such as:

  • Less sensitivity
  • Ability to prep the tooth and place the permanent crown in one day
  • Highly accurate digital impressions
  • Greater convenience toward the patient’s schedule
  • No room for human error

In cases where a same-day crown is not appropriate, we work with a local lab and ceramist to design custom crowns. Their attention to internal characterizations of the tooth’s shading and surfaces provide maximum aesthetic benefits.

Replacing Missing Teeth

Just one missing tooth can lead to other teeth in the mouth shifting out of place. It’s best to replace your missing tooth as soon as possible.

Dr. Lopez and Dr. Lamborn offers several types of options, depending on the extent of your tooth loss:

Fixed Bridges: Can be supported by adjacent healthy teeth, or on dental implants. They use two functional crowns, with a false crown suspended between them to fill in the open space.

All-on-4 and Implant Supported Dentures: Teeth in a day treatments allow you to replace all of your teeth at one time, using a denture that is permanently retained by as few as four dental implants. Implants can also be used to stabilize removable dentures.

Removable Dentures: Full and partial dentures offer an economical solution for replacing missing teeth. Each one is customized to the unique needs of your smile.

EXCELLENT first visit!!!! Front desk staff very welcoming and friendly (in a truly authentic way). Donna, the dental hygienist, is extremely friendly and incredibly thorough in her evaluation. Dr. Lopez is also extremely thorough and handled my complicated predicament with the utmost efficiency, confidence, and assertiveness. I'm impressed with the state-of-the-art equipment and warm, inviting atmosphere. Looking forward to receiving continued quality care at this office in the future.

Riggs Family Dental is the best dentist office I have been to in Arizona and Dr. Lopez is the best dentist in Arizona!! Dr. Lopez is a fantastic dentist...very knowledgeable, very skilled, very gentle, and very kind. I feel like I can trust him to tell me what the best plan is for my teeth/mouth, but then he leaves it up to me to choose what I want to do based on my personal needs/time-frame/finances, etc. The rest of the staff is great also! They are also very skilled, helpful, kind, and friendly. It's never fun to have to go to the dentist, but if I HAVE to go...Riggs makes it the best experience possible. Thank you, Dr. Lopez and staff!! We appreciate you!!

Riggs Family Dental is by far the best dental office in the East Valley!!! I travel quite a distance so that Dr. Lopez can take care of my teeth. I wouldn't trust anyone else. If you need a good dentist, I highly recommend that you make an appointment with Riggs Family Dental.

COVID-19 UPDATE

 

We hope this message finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward
to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety.

Our office follows recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may
be issued. We do this to make sure that our procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

• Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
• We will take each patients temperature prior to the appointment.
• We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
• You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
• Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
• We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our
practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at (480) 566-8349.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends
