Dental Implants
in Chandler, AZ

Missing teeth can make it difficult to eat and smile around others with confidence and ease. While other tooth-replacement options, like dental bridges and partial dentures, can be a great choice for many, dental implants are often the top choice for patients who are missing one or more teeth, as long as they are deemed good candidates.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

  • Replace missing teeth with a natural look and feel
  • Restore strong chewing ability and clear speech
  • Help prevent jawbone loss after tooth loss
  • Do not rely on neighboring teeth for support
  • Provide a long-lasting and stable tooth replacement option
  • Support overall oral health and smile function

The Dental Implant Process

  • Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, including digital X-rays or 3D imaging to evaluate your oral health and bone structure.
  • If necessary, preparatory procedures such as tooth extraction(s) or bone grafting are completed to create a stable foundation.
  • The dental implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth root once was.
  • Over the next several months, the implant naturally fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
  • Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the final restoration.
  • A custom crown is then created to match the shape, color, and appearance of your surrounding teeth.
  • The final crown is securely placed, restoring function, comfort, and a natural-looking smile.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Many healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Healthy gums and adequate jawbone are important for long-term success, but even patients with bone loss may qualify with additional treatment such as bone grafting. During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health, medical history, and bone structure to determine the best treatment approach for your needs.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a durable, long-term solution for missing teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, the implant post itself can often last decades or even a lifetime. The crown or restoration attached to the implant may need replacement over time due to normal wear, but the implant foundation should remain strong and reliable.

How do you take care of dental implants?

Dental implants should be cared for much like natural teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing carefully around the implant, and keeping up with routine dental cleanings are essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing complications. Avoiding tobacco products and addressing grinding or clenching habits can also help protect your implant and extend its longevity.
