If you lost your shoes, chances are you wouldn’t think about going to the store to buy just one shoe to replace them both, so why does it make sense to only replace one half your lost tooth? The short answer is – it doesn’t. Traditional tooth replacement solutions only renewed those parts of teeth that were visible above the gum line, but without the supportive underlying root system, these replacement teeth relied on surrounding dental structures for support. In order to provide the most natural restoration, we may recommend patients consider our dental implant supported tooth replacement options.

March 11, 2014
Your smile says a lot about you, conveying a variety of emotions and general wellbeing in a mere instant. If you are missing one or more teeth, though, it’s likely that you feel self-conscious and even embarrassed of your smile. In addition, missing teeth can make eating and speaking uncomfortable and difficult. Fortunately, modern dental technology makes it possible for your local Phoenix and Glendale dentists to rebuild your bite and your smile with permanent dental implants.
Are Dental Implants Right for Me?
A comprehensive assessment and consultation with your dentist will determine which restorative dental procedure is an ideal fit for your unique situation. Most patients with healthy gum tissue and adequate bone density in the jaw are good candidates for dental implants, a solution that looks and feels absolutely natural.
Because they are implanted directly into your jaw and gum, dental implants are as secure and functional as your natural teeth. A small titanium post is first placed where your tooth once stood, and a porcelain crown restoration is affixed directly to it. The crown is custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless fit. When healing is complete, you can once again feel free to smile, eat, and speak naturally with full comfort and confidence.
Rebuilding Your Smile with Dental Implants
Whether you have recently undergone an extraction or you have been missing teeth for some time, rebuilding your complete dentition is possible. Contact your local dental office in Phoenix, AZ or Glendale, AZ today to discover how dental implants and other restorative dental services can help you enjoy all of the benefits of a complete set of teeth once again. We also serve patients in West Phoenix and Peoria, as well as nearby areas. Our skilled, experienced doctors and caring, friendly team look forward to seeing you and your family!

What You Need To Know About Implant Dentistry
January 30, 2013
While several fields of dentistry encompass a wide variety of services and treatments, some are much more specialized and define one type of dental procedure. Implant dentistry would fall under this latter category, as it deals solely with the placement and/or restoration of dental implants, which are a relatively new, incredibly durable restorative technique for patients who have lost one or more teeth due to trauma or decay.
Patients who are interested in implant dentistry must first schedule a thorough evaluation with their local dentist, which will include x-rays. This is necessary in order to ensure you are a viable candidate for dental implants. To be able to support dental implants, you must be in good health (especially your gums), as well as have adequate bone structure in your jaw to support them.
In the first stage of the procedure, a titanium post will be placed in your jawbone – whether you require one or more will be determined by how many teeth you’re missing.
In the second stage, nature is allowed to take its course. Over a period of time, your natural bone tissue with fuse with the new implants, creating a durable platform for your new smile. Once your dentist has determined that the bond has become strong enough, they will attach your new tooth or teeth, giving you a revitalized smile that looks and feels natural.
Dental implants can used to improve on a number of restorative dental techniques as well, such as bridges and partials. Full dentures often slip or feel uncomfortable when worn, but with the support of implants, they can be stable and secure. In addition, dental implants offers patients restored function and an improved capacity for eating and speaking.
While not every dental practice offers dental implants as a procedural option, your dentists in Glendale and Phoenix have the added benefit of being able to provide all the implant dentistry services you need in their offices, taking you from consultation to completion without you ever having to seek outside treatment. Our offices are here to help restore both your smile and your sense of self-confidence. We also serve patients from the Peoria and West Phoenix areas.
