Dental Implants Chandler & San Tan Valley AZ

Dental implants are one of the best options for replacement teeth for anyone missing one or more teeth. A tooth implant is the only option that restores the visible, functional portion of a missing tooth and the root embedded in the jawbone. This resemblance to a natural tooth serves a unique purpose – it not only restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile properly, but it helps prevent bone loss in the jaw and preserves your facial contours.

What are the Parts of a Dental Implant?

  • The Implant: This is a titanium or ceramic post or screw that acts as an artificial tooth root. It is placed in the jawbone and, over time, fuses with the surrounding bone to create a stable base for dental restoration.
  • The Abutment: The abutment is a small intermediate component that attaches the implant to the restoration crown or prosthetic.
  • The Crown or Restoration: The crown or restoration restores the visible portion of the missing tooth or teeth. If a single tooth is being replaced, the implant is attached to an individual crown. If a full arch of teeth is being replaced, a dental prosthetic resembling a denture may be supported by several individual implants.

Our Collaborative Approach to Dental Implants

Dental implant placement is a sophisticated team effort between an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the restorative dentist. Dr. Shah performs the critical components utilizing state of the art technology:

After placement surgery, time is allowed for the bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating an incredibly strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then attached, and a new replacement tooth (crown) is positioned on top. In many cases, a temporary replacement tooth can be attached immediately after implant placement.

Once the implants have sufficiently fused with the jawbone (usually 3-6 months), your restorative dentist will then fit and create the permanent prosthesis, ensuring a perfect, natural-looking result.

For patients missing multiple or all teeth, various advanced treatment options are available to support replacement teeth, ensuring a comprehensive solution for every dental need.

“Don’t Be Afraid To Smile”

For years I’d felt like a part of my body was missing — because my teeth were. My dentist told me that dental implants would make me feel and look a lot better. OK, I said. Now, I’m thrilled. I can smile, eat anything, and enjoy a good laugh with my friends.

Dental Implant Surgery

Do I need dental implants?

If you are missing at least one tooth, dental implants can restore your smile and give you a stable, lasting tooth replacement that allows you to enjoy all the foods you love. Unlike dentures, implants do not shift, click, or pinch. They also preserve your facial features and avoid the sunken look common with denture wearers whose jaws deteriorate due to lack of stimulation from tooth roots.

Patients with dental implants tend to eat healthier, have fewer cavities, and have better eating habits than those who wear dentures or forego replacing their teeth.

Dental Implant Options for Replacement Teeth

  • Single Dental Implant: When an individual tooth is missing, a single implant with an attached crown can replace the tooth without disturbing the adjacent natural teeth.
  • All-On-4 Dental Implants: A full arch of replacement teeth is attached to just four implants strategically placed in the jawbone for maximum stability with less need for bone grafting.
  • Full Mouth Dental Implants: These come in several styles, including those with bar attachments, ball attachments, and screw-retained dentures.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: These are hybrid dentures that are smaller and lighter than traditional dentures and attached to a small number of implants for cost-effectiveness.
