For many people, going to the dentist is not a pleasant thing. Most people don’t want to “be at the dental office”. So, we do our best to make you feel like you are at a friend’s place. We have Disney Plus and Netflix available, trinkets for kids, and wooden carved pens for older kids or adults. (Dr. Ricks has been known to take a few carved pens home for himself) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/1652381113363-8NWW7BR202LGSV44Q37T/P5090575.JPG About Smile Tucson is solely owned by Dr. Ricks, and not by a distant corporate group. That makes it possible for us to invest our time into your needs and wants: “Are there options?” “Do I really need that filling placed?” “Why does that tooth need a crown?” “Can I just get this tooth to stop hurting and then decide later?” “Why are my teeth going crooked?” “How long should this filling last?” “Is there a way to make my denture hold better?” We try to take time to present all options and answer your questions. If your treatment needs are more complex, we will set up a treatment plan sequence that can work for you. We want you to be confident in your choices of treatment. https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/ourteam daily 0.75 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/1ddd3ad2-a357-4ad8-a0c8-1e63c20a2632/Dr+Ricks+%281%29.jpeg Our Team - Dr. Mathew W.

As a team, we insure we take the proper steps in the creation process, that way you leave with a piece that fits perfectly, and looks natural. It must be noted that this process requires multiple visits until you are pleased with the final fit and appearance. Because we pride ourselves in perfect fit and looks with our appliances, we do not offer same day dentures. This is the only process we offer, ensuring you’re leaving with the best product possible. Dr. Ricks also tries to help save your current dentures or Partial denture if you don’t want to part with them yet. He does everything he can to make the ones you currently have useful with maintenance efforts until replacement is actually necessary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/d234705a-23d2-46d6-8434-3d76b36b1e3a/Xray+K+Babbit.jpg Dental Services - Oral Surgery Dr. Ricks is skilled in Oral Surgery, so he does extractions, depending on your health and in some cases he can also do bone grafts, implants, and so much more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/9934c7ce-6c43-4a2c-b841-917f8d1e97c8/Emergency+dental+work Dental Services - Dental Emergency So, you were eating some popcorn and bit into a kernel and are now currently in pain, or woke up with a swollen face from a tooth, or fractured it, call our office and we will see what we can do to get you onto our schedule.

Dr. Ricks offers a free consultation to see if you’re a candidate for our office. The consultation is a quick ten minute discussion where he will look at your bite and crowding, define what Class your bite is in, to see if it’s treatment we can do here, or if you need a referral to a specialist. After the Consultation appointment, we will get you scheduled for X-rays, photos, impressions, and discuss the cost of treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/56e3f285-85ab-4483-b48b-fa3f11f130a5/Perio+Protect+%C2%AE Dental Services https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/location daily 0.75 2022-06-09 https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2022-10-28 https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/beforeandafter daily 0.75 2022-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/1653408873286-2S6MS62YWV43TRFEZIV2/KB1.JPG Before and After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/1653411019079-F4903DJB1B6NV4K0TRNC/linds.JPG Before and After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/1653411051984-BKHPHCJEAU030BCVV6JV/P5170705.JPG Before and After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/1653496567676-TYYAN9346M9A3MV4F3GL/P5200743.JPG Before and After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/1654627070810-FZ729ZAEBVE0228KPXGA/LA1.jpg Before and After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62756b986fe0f53e5ab1b603/1654627338983-PTQTZ7RQ9M9EZOGS7OEG/LA2.jpg Before and After https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/making-appointments daily 0.75 2022-10-04 https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/our-services daily 0.75 2022-06-03 https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/our-services/dental-emergency monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/our-services/cosmeticdentistry monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/our-services/routinedentistry monthly 0.5 2023-05-11 https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/our-services/orthodontics monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://www.smiletucsonfamilydentistry.com/our-services/periodontalhealth monthly 0.5 2022-07-07
