Family Dentistry
The American Dental Association recommends individuals with healthy teeth and gums have their teeth cleaned twice a year. Some individuals with Periodontal Disease require more frequent cleanings. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children have their first dental visit 6 months after the eruption of their first tooth or approximately 1 year of age.
Teeth Whitening
Also referred to as dental bleaching, tooth whitening restores the natural brightness to your smile. We offer a variety of methods to whiten teeth including in-office whitening and take home whitening kits.
Invisalign
A clear alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign moves teeth through a series of clear aligners that are worn by the patient 22 hours per day. Invisalign aligners can be removed by the patient for hygiene and are changed out every 2 weeks. Invisalign can be used to treat a variety of issues including spacing, crowding and orthodontic relapse, with treatment time based on the movement required.
Implants, Crowns, & Bridges
Crowns are dental restorations that cover the entire tooth structure, to protect the long-term health of a tooth. Crowns are required after Root Canal treatments, or when a cavity compromises more than 50% of the tooth. Bridges are permanent restorations used to replace a missing tooth, bonding an artificial tooth (the pontic) with crowns placed on the adjacent teeth(abutments). Bridges can also be placed on implants to restore areas missing multiple teeth.

Tucson Family Dentist
With 3 kids of her own, Dr. Katie Hicks knows how to make children of all ages comfortable in the dentist chair. Our team believes in preventing problems before they begin and focus on helping our young patients learn healthy, positive behaviors that will keep their mouths healthy and beautiful.
We were recommended to Dr Hicks from our dentist in Oregon – they went to dental school together. We are so glad we found her, she makes going to the dentist fun! She is always on time, extra gentle and conservative in her treatments.
We also can’t forget her team! Being greeted by Lorissa puts a smile on your face when you walk in, Jessica her assistant is so sweet and friendly and Angelica the hygienist is just the best!
Don’t go anywhere else in Tucson!
Samantha F.My family and I LOVE this office! From the time I walked in to the time I rescheduled for my next appointment, I knew I had made the right choice. Dr. Hicks and her entire staff made me feel super comfortable and welcome, and her hygienist Angelica did an awesome job with my cleaning!
Kacie E.I have interned at Katie’s office for 2 years now and every patient leaves happy. Katie is honestly so wonderful! She is so outgoing and very diligent in her work. Her personality really shines and she also does a great job clinically while keeping your best interests in mind. Something really great about her is that she is very conservative in practice, so you won’t be getting any treatment you don’t need! She is also amazing with kids as she has 3 of her own. She truly is the best dentist in Tucson!!
