Flagstaff Poore Dental Clinic

Flagstaff's Poore Dental Clinic and Medical Clinic helpers sadly say good-bye to it's founder Dr. Henry Poore.  Its unique premise of taking care of lower income uninsured people has been one of the greatest health care gifts to the Flagstaff community ever.  We commit ourselves as medical professionals to carry on what Dr. Poore has started to assure this service to Flagstaff continues.  Thank you Henry and Nina!

Porcelain Dental Veneers vs. Orthodontics

There are often several ways to solve an esthetic dental problem. In the case of either crowding, too much space or turned teeth both orthodontics and veneers are possible solutions. Below I have listed some of the reasons to choose veneers and then reasons to go with orthodontics.
Advantages of veneers:
1. It only takes a couple of weeks to have a finished result.
2. You can change your teeth to a brighter color.
3. You can change the shape of your teeth. (Longer or wider, for example.)
4. You can repair any chipping or cracking present.

Advantages of orthodontics:
1.You can improve your bite as well as straighten your teeth.
2. No drilling or alteration of your teeth.

It is often easier to use veneers over ortho for filling in spaces(Although veneers have their limits). It is often better to use ortho to solve crowding.
Sometimes the best result occurs when we do a combination of ortho and veneers.

Downtown Flagstaff Dentist Office Opens

April 6, 2015, Dr. Bacon and Dr. Peters are moving from their Beaver St. office to 323 Leroux in downtown Flagstaff.  This remodeled 100 year old historic Flagstaff house has 10 rooms to assure minimal waits for their much appreciated patients. Refinished oak floors in a beautiful waiting room helps continue the homey feeling our Beaver St. office has provided for over 25 years. Plenty of parking off of Dale St will make visiting us in downtown Flagstaff a cinch.  We look forward to seeing all our long time loyal patients as well as new patients in our new location.

Best Cosmetic Dentist-  Flagstaff Business News has taken a survey of it's readers and we are pleased to report that Dr. John Bacon has been voted Best Cosmetic Dentist of Flagstaff for 2014.
Dr. Bacon has been providing Flagstaff with cosmetic services such as Porcelain veneers, Teeth whitening and smile design for many years.  Free mock ups allow patients to envision what their new smile would look like prior to taking the plunge!

New Flagstaff Dental Office of Dr. Bacon

We have broken ground on our new office!  The existing building is 4 levels when including the basement.  This 100 year old building  is getting ready for it's next phase: A dental office.  It was a home originally to the Kochs (rhymes with "Cokes").  Mr. Koch ran the mill for the Riordans.  It then spent many years as the home to the Bledsoe's, a family of 5. The maid lived downstairs. There were also slot machines and poker in the basement! (The basement will have a slightly less exciting use as a residential apartment when the remodel is finished) The house was then transformed into a frat house. One can just imagine all the stories there. It was later the law office of Hufford and Horstman.  The attic was remodeled into a very attractive business area with fantastic views. It was later sold to 2 lawyers and a contractor from whom Dr. Bacon purchased the building in 2014.
    The basement and the first floor will be extended southward to allow for
modern dental operatories on the first floor and an as a yet to be determined business below it. The original basement is being remodeled for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. The original first floor will be the reception area, waiting room, staff room and laboratory for Dr. Bacons dental practice.
The second floor, which used to be the bedrooms for the Bledsoe family, is office space for 3 Flagstaff businesses. The attic is currently an engineering firm.  Lastly, the Carriage house will be converted into a cute Studio Apartment.
    There will be 22 parking spots behind the new office as well as on street parking. (Good luck with that). We are hoping to be up and running in March!
