Restore Your Smile With Dental Implants

Dental implants in Scottsdale offer a stable solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike traditional tooth replacement options that may rely on neighboring teeth or removable appliances, dental implants use an implant post placed in the jawbone to provide a foundation for a replacement tooth or restoration.

Your treatment will be planned around your individual oral health, the number of missing teeth, available bone support, and your goals. Our team will explain your options and help you understand what to expect before beginning treatment.

Dental implants may be used to replace:

A single missing tooth
Multiple missing teeth
Several teeth in different areas of the mouth
An entire arch of teeth with an implant-supported restoration

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are designed to replace the root portion of a missing tooth and provide support for a dental restoration. An implant treatment typically includes three main components.

Implant Post

The implant post is placed into the jawbone and serves as a foundation for the replacement tooth. As the area heals, the implant can integrate with the surrounding bone.

Abutment

The abutment connects the implant post to the visible dental restoration. It provides the connection between the implant and replacement tooth.

Dental Crown

The dental crown treatment is the visible portion of a single-tooth implant restoration. It is designed to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth while blending with your smile.

For patients who are missing multiple or all teeth, other implant-supported restorations may be recommended based on their individual needs.

Dental Implant Treatments We Offer

At Scottsdale Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we provide implant solutions for different types of tooth loss. Your treatment plan will depend on your oral health, the number of teeth being replaced, and your specific treatment goals.

1. Single Dental Implants

A single dental implant can replace one missing tooth without requiring a traditional bridge supported by neighboring teeth. The implant provides a foundation for an individual crown designed to restore the missing tooth.

Single-tooth implants may be an option for patients who have lost a tooth because of injury, decay, or other dental concerns.

2. Multiple Dental Implants

If you are missing several teeth, multiple implants may be used to support individual restorations or an implant-supported dental prosthesis. The appropriate approach depends on the location and number of missing teeth as well as your overall oral health.

We can evaluate your smile and discuss the available options for restoring multiple missing teeth.

3. All-on-4® Dental Implants

All-on-4 dental implants in Scottsdale can provide an implant-supported approach for replacing an entire arch of missing teeth. This treatment uses strategically positioned implants to support a full-arch restoration for eligible patients.

All-on-4 treatment is not appropriate for everyone, so a comprehensive evaluation is important. We will assess your oral health and discuss whether this type of restoration may be suitable for your needs.

4. Implant-Supported Restorations

Dental implants can also be used to provide support for larger tooth replacement restorations. Implant-supported options can provide additional stability compared with some traditional removable solutions.

Your treatment plan will be based on your individual needs and the type of restoration recommended.

Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants may be an option for adults who have lost one or more teeth and want a stable tooth replacement solution. However, candidacy depends on several factors.

During your consultation, we may consider:

The number and location of missing teeth
Jawbone volume and support
Gum and periodontal health
Overall oral health
Existing dental conditions
Your ability to maintain good oral hygiene
Your treatment goals and expectations

Some patients may need additional dental treatment before implant placement. If you have questions about whether you are a candidate, an evaluation with an implant dentist in Scottsdale can help determine your options.

Benefits of Dental Implants

For eligible patients, dental implants can provide several benefits as part of a comprehensive tooth replacement plan.

1. Restore Tooth Function

Implant-supported restorations can help restore chewing and everyday dental function after tooth loss.

2. Support a Natural-Looking Smile

A customized dental restoration can be designed to complement your existing teeth and smile.

3. Provide a Stable Foundation

Because the implant is anchored in the jawbone, it can provide a stable foundation for an attached restoration.

4. Replace Missing Teeth

Implants can be used for single-tooth replacement as well as certain multiple-tooth and full-arch treatment options.

5. Support Jawbone Health

The implant post provides stimulation to the surrounding bone, which can help support the jawbone in the area of tooth loss.

6. Designed for Long-Term Use

With appropriate oral hygiene, regular dental care, and proper maintenance, dental implants can be a long-term tooth replacement solution.

Dental Implant Treatment Process

Understanding the treatment process can help you feel more prepared. The exact steps and timeline vary depending on your oral health and the type of implant restoration you need.

Step 1. Initial Consultation

We begin by evaluating your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. We also discuss your concerns, goals, and tooth replacement options.

Step 2. Personalized Treatment Planning

Based on your evaluation, we develop a treatment plan designed around your individual needs. Additional procedures may sometimes be recommended before implant placement.

Step 3. Implant Placement

When appropriate, the implant post is placed into the jawbone. The area then requires time to heal and allow the implant to integrate with the surrounding bone.

Step 4. Healing and Integration

The healing period allows the implant to become stable within the jaw. The length of this stage varies from patient to patient.

Step 5. Restoration

Once the implant is ready, the appropriate restoration can be attached. For a single missing tooth, this may involve an abutment and dental crown. Multiple or full-arch cases may require a different implant-supported restoration.

Step 6. Ongoing Dental Care

Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene are important for maintaining your implants, restorations, gums, and remaining natural teeth.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Everyone is so welcoming and professional. Aziza is the sweetest receptionist and was able to quickly accommodate my appointment and services. Reina explained every step of the exam and cleaning and Dr. Brown fixed my cavities. I was scared after many years avoiding the dentists and left with a very pleasant experience. Thank you all.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I was not their patient. I had a dental emergency. They scheduled me in Sand same day one hour after I called them. I showed up early. They took me early. The staff was very friendly, extremely helpful. The doctor was in a great mood, made quick work of the issues I had. The dental assistant was very thorough, pleasant person. After everything was done I paid a significant amount less than the other 5 locations I had called and tried to get in prior to this one - an added bonus.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  As a new patient I didn't know what to expect.I'm always hopeful of course and that was well placed faith in Scottsdale family dentistry. I spoke with Mary Ann the day before to schedule an appointment and she was just delightful. Front desk was efficient and courteous. In my dental hygienist Andrea was simply amazing the jealous touch and that's so important when somebody's creeping around poking and prodding in your mouth. Dr Brown was confident and PATIENT. Offering a couple  options, he explained the procedures, comparing cost/benefit/complexity, simplifying my decision. I couldn't be happier and would wholeheartedly recommend them. I'm even sending my mother there!
