What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Over time, it fuses with the bone and acts as a stable root for a crown, bridge, or denture placed on top of it.
The result is a restoration that doesn't shift, doesn't require adhesive, and doesn't put pressure on neighboring teeth the way a traditional bridge does. With proper care, implants can last decades.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants in Peoria, AZ. The key factors are adequate bone density in the jaw and good overall oral health. Patients with gum disease or significant bone loss may need preparatory treatment before implant placement.
During your consultation, we'll review your health history, take the necessary imaging, and give you an honest picture of your options. If implants aren't the right fit, we'll tell you that too and discuss alternatives.
Implant Options We Offer
Single Tooth Implant
Replaces one missing tooth with a post and a custom crown. The surrounding teeth are left completely untouched.
Implant-Supported Bridge
When multiple adjacent teeth are missing, implants can anchor a bridge without involving healthy neighboring teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures provide a significantly more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures. They stay in place, restore chewing function, and feel far more natural in everyday life.
Full Mouth Restoration
For patients who need comprehensive rebuilding of their bite and smile, we develop a phased treatment plan that addresses the full picture of your oral health.
Dental Implants for Senior Patients
Many of our implant patients are adults 65 and older, and implants can be an excellent option for seniors who want a more stable, confident solution than traditional dentures. Age alone is not a disqualifying factor. We evaluate each patient individually and take into account overall health, bone quality, and personal goals.
If you've been wearing dentures and are tired of the slipping, the adhesive, and the dietary restrictions that come with them, implant-supported options are worth a conversation.
What to Expect
The implant process takes place over several months to allow for proper healing and integration. Consultation and imaging come first, followed by implant placement if you're a good candidate. A healing period allows the implant to fuse with the bone. Once healed, a custom crown or restoration is attached. Most patients find the process very manageable, with discomfort similar to a standard extraction.
We'll walk you through every step before we begin so there are no surprises.
Transparent Pricing
Dental implant costs vary based on how many teeth are being replaced and whether any preparatory work is needed. We provide clear, upfront pricing after your consultation so you can make an informed decision. We work with most major dental insurance plans and can discuss payment options with you directly.
Free Second Opinions on Implant Treatment
If another dentist has recommended implants and you want a second perspective before moving forward, we offer free second opinions with no pressure and no obligation.
