Dental Implants
Dental implants at Payson Dental & Orthodontics replace missing or severely damaged teeth using titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone. These artificial roots support crowns, bridges, or dentures that look and function like natural teeth. The practice uses Nobel Biocare and Zimmer technology for minimally invasive placement. Patients receive personalized treatment plans after thorough evaluation, including bone density assessment. Proper oral hygiene and regular checkups ensure long-term success, with implants potentially lasting a lifetime when cared for properly.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Payson Dental & Orthodontics offers this wire-free alternative to traditional braces for teens and adults. Dr. Kraft, with 15+ years of Invisalign experience, creates customized treatment plans typically lasting 12-18 months. Patients receive new aligners every 1-2 weeks, with progress monitored through regular checkups. The nearly invisible aligners allow for easier oral hygiene maintenance compared to traditional braces while achieving similar orthodontic results.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Payson Dental & Orthodontics treats obstructive sleep apnea using Vivos technology, a non-invasive oral appliance therapy. This approach expands the airway by repositioning the tongue and jaw, improving breathing during sleep. Dr. Kraft, a certified Vivos provider, conducts comprehensive evaluations to determine suitability for this alternative to CPAP machines. Custom-fitted oral devices maintain airway patency throughout the night, with follow-up adjustments ensuring optimal effectiveness. Treatment addresses symptoms like snoring, daytime fatigue, and breathing interruptions during sleep.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth by covering them completely, improving both function and appearance. Payson Dental & Orthodontics offers Cerec same-day crowns using digital technology for precise, single-visit fabrication. These tooth-colored restorations match natural teeth in color and translucency while providing structural support. Crowns address issues like severe decay, cracks, or large fillings, with proper placement ensuring comfortable biting and long-term durability when maintained with good oral hygiene.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services at Payson Dental & Orthodontics include in-office treatments and take-home kits for lasting smile enhancement. The practice uses professional-grade bleaching agents that safely remove surface stains and deep discoloration. Custom-fitted trays ensure even application for home treatments, while in-office sessions deliver faster results using advanced whitening technology. Treatments effectively address staining from coffee, tea, tobacco, or aging, with personalized guidance to maintain results and minimize sensitivity.
