Find out why dental implants are the next best thing to your natural teeth...
Dental Implant Benefits
Implants offer a number of advantages over alternative tooth replacement options, including:
Better Oral Health
Unlike dental bridges and dentures, implants replace missing tooth roots, which reduces the risk of future bone atrophy. In addition, implants do not require the alteration of the natural teeth.
Optimal Comfort
Titanium tooth implants fuse with the jawbone to form an extremely stable foundation for your smile. As a result, implants are much more comfortable compared to removable dentures and other tooth replacement solutions.
Improved Confidence
When you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, you may be self-conscious about your appearance, and even avoid social interactions. Implants fill in the gaps of your smile and can consequently boost confidence.

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. Your 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:

Those who are only missing one tooth can replace it with a single dental implant. Once the implant heals, a crown can be added to restore full dental health and function.

If you have lost multiple neighboring teeth, we may recommend a dental bridge. Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges are attached to implants, leaving natural tooth structure intact.

Losing most or all of the teeth in a single arch can be devastating to your dental health. Dental implants can be used to support a full-arch denture, offering much more stability than conventional dentures.

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 have 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 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 of time, 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.
Choosing the Best Treatment For You The Sonoran Dental Design Paitent Experience

Worried About Undergoing Dental Surgery? We Can Help With Sedation Dentistry
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.

After almost 20 years with Sonora Dental Design I am still pleased with their care. My latest procedure just reinforced that opinion. They were on time, made me comfortable and performed the procedure (replacing old fillings) quickly and with attention to my comfort. The staff is extremely competent and make me feel as at ease as is possible for a dental visit.

What should I expect after my dental implants have been placed?
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.
