How Do Dental Implants Work?
Implants are surgically embedded in the jawbone in the place of missing tooth roots. After they fuse with the jaw over the course of three to six months, they are ready to provide unparalleled support for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Anatomy of a Dental Implant
Dental Implants Work
for All Types of Tooth Loss
Whether you need to replace one tooth or several teeth, implants can offer a reliable and long-lasting solution. Our Scottsdale, AZ, dentist works with implant specialists to provide our patients with top-tier comprehensive treatment. Typically, she will refer you to a board-certified oral surgeon or periodontist for the placement of the dental implants. Once you have completely healed from the procedure, she can restore the implants with the appropriate restorations. Here are just a few of the options available at our Scottsdale practice:
Some patients may have too much bone loss to qualify for standard implants. All-on-4® replaces a full arch of missing teeth by attaching a fixed hybrid denture on four strategically placed implants.
Am I a Good Candidate for Treatment?
While modern techniques like All-on-4 make dental implants accessible for a wider range of patients, not everyone qualifies for treatment. Several factors can affect your candidacy, such as:
Oral Health
It is important to be in good oral health other than tooth loss before undergoing dental implant treatment. During your consultation at our Scottsdale office, we will examine your mouth and check for signs of gum disease, infection, and other common conditions. If we find anything, we will provide the appropriate treatment to restore your candidacy for implants.
Overall Health
Since dental implants involve a surgical procedure, they are not recommended for individuals who suffer from certain health conditions. Uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and osteoporosis can all increase your chances of implant failure. Please go over your medical history with your dentist so we can assess your risks and best ensure your safety.
Jawbone Density
Tooth roots serve an important function in maintaining strong gum and jawbone tissue. When you are missing teeth for a long period, your jaw begins to atrophy. While traditional dental implants do not work for patients with low bone density, you may still qualify for All-on-4 treatment.

I arrived early and was taken right in. Dental assistant was great and prepared me for the dentist. Dentist was very good and I would come here again! I am a snowbird from Canada but I would pick these folks as my regular dental care group. They are that good.

View on GoogleBudgeting for Treatment
Basic dental insurance does not cover the cost of the implant itself or the abutment that connects the implant to your replacement teeth. However, most insurance plans do contribute to the cost of crowns, bridges, dentures, and preparatory procedures such as gum disease treatment, tooth extraction, and fillings.
Our practice accepts most insurance plans, and you can count on our staff to work directly with your provider to secure maximum coverage of all treatments relating to your implants. For any remaining out-of-pocket expenses, we accept CareCredit® financing. Based on your credit score, this popular medical lender can allow you to make interest-free or low-interest monthly payments that make dental implants a comfortable fit for most budgets. If you want to use an existing line of credit, we accept American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. We also accept cash and checks.
If you have any questions about how we can help make implants an affordable solution for you, please send us a message or call us today:

The office presents an air of detail and professionalism. The staff is very welcoming and knows who you are. The technician was concerned with my comfort and was detailed with her assessment and evaluation. As a person that avoided the dentist until necessary the hesitation is gone.

If you suffer from high levels of sensitivity or a fear of dental procedures, there is a way you can undergo treatment more comfortably. Our Scottsdale practice offers sedation dentistry to induce a state of relaxation and help you overcome your aversion to the dentist. While sedation is overwhelmingly safe, we go the extra mile and use high-tech monitoring devices to observe your vital signs during treatment. Ask about sedation dentistry at your consultation to find an option right for you.
Is Dental Implant Treatment Worth It?
After reviewing the timeline and recovery involved with dental implants, you may be wondering if the results are worth it. The truth is, no other form of restorative dentistry can provide the same convenience, comfort, and protection that come with implants.
Since your restoration stays fixed in place, you do not have to worry about tedious maintenance or traditional denture care. The posts also mimic natural tooth roots securing your prosthetic with unparalleled stability. Best of all, implants stave off common side effects of tooth loss, such as gum recession, jawbone atrophy, and sunken-looking facial features.
You have our word; dental implants are well worth it in the end.
