Dental Implant Placement

Restore Your Smile With Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a stable, long-term foundation for replacing missing teeth. At Arizona Center for Oral Surgery, our experienced oral surgeons use advanced treatment planning to place implants with your oral health, function, and smile in mind.
A Strong Foundation for Your Smile

Replace Missing Teeth From the Root Up

Losing a tooth means losing more than the visible portion of your smile. Without the natural tooth root, the jawbone in that area can gradually deteriorate. A dental implant is designed to replace the missing tooth root with a small biocompatible post placed into the jawbone. Once the implant has healed and integrated with the surrounding bone, it can provide a strong foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture. At Arizona Center for Oral Surgery, we carefully evaluate your oral health, jawbone, and individual needs to create a treatment plan designed for a stable and lasting result.
Why Dental Implants

More Than a Replacement Tooth

Dental implants are designed to restore the function of a missing tooth while providing a stable foundation for your long-term oral health.

Replace Missing Teeth

Dental implants provide a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, and implant-supported dentures, helping restore the appearance and function of your smile.

Support Jawbone Health

Because the implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, it can help maintain stimulation to the surrounding jawbone and reduce the effects of bone loss.

Built for Long-Term Function

With proper care and regular dental maintenance, dental implants can provide a durable solution for missing teeth.

Dental Implant FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About
Dental Implant Placement

The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it serves as a replacement for the natural tooth root. After the area heals and the implant integrates with the surrounding bone, a custom restoration can be attached.

Anesthesia and sedation options can help keep you comfortable during the procedure. Some soreness, swelling, or bruising may occur during the initial recovery period.

Healing times vary from patient to patient. The implant needs time to integrate with the surrounding bone before the final restoration can be placed. Your oral surgeon will provide a treatment timeline based on your individual case.

If there is not enough bone to adequately support an implant, a bone grafting procedure may be recommended before or as part of implant treatment.

Once your implant is restored, care for it with regular brushing, flossing, professional dental visits, and good overall oral hygiene. Following your surgeon's post-operative instructions during healing is also important.
