Dental Implants in Mesa

A dental implant consists of a titanium screw placed in the jawbone to securely hold a crown or denture. This technology has transformed the lives of many patients at Chandler Dental. With implants, there’s no need to rely on adhesives or suction to keep dentures in place, and there’s no need to grind healthy teeth into stubs to anchor a replacement tooth.

The Dental Implant Process

The implant process is straightforward and involves minimal discomfort and downtime. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after the procedure. Implants are composed of three parts: the titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone, the abutment that connects to the implant, and the crown that replicates the natural tooth. The accompanying illustration demonstrates how closely an implant mimics the structure and function of a real tooth.

At Mesa Dental, we understand the frustration dentures can cause. While upper dentures often benefit from suction to improve comfort, many patients find both upper and lower dentures difficult to tolerate. We offer a variety of implant-retained denture options, including hybrid dentures, All-on-4 dentures, and locator-supported dentures. Each option has unique benefits, costs, and considerations.

Dental Implant Options at Mesa Dental

We offer a variety of implant solutions tailored to your needs.

Single Tooth Implants

Ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Used when multiple teeth are missing in a row.

Implant-Retained Dentures

For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures provide significantly improved stability compared to traditional dentures.

Preventing Bone Loss with Dental Implants

One of the most important benefits of dental implants is jawbone preservation.

When a tooth is removed, the supporting bone begins to deteriorate because it no longer receives stimulation from chewing forces. Over time, this can lead to:

• Loss of bone supporting neighboring teeth

• Tooth sensitivity or looseness

• A sunken facial appearance

• Premature aging of the cheeks and lips

Because implants function like natural tooth roots, they stimulate the jawbone and help prevent bone loss. Once an implant is placed and stabilized, bone deterioration is minimal.

This is a major reason why implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults are candidates for dental implants.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth

• Have sufficient jawbone density

• Maintain good oral hygiene

• Are in generally good health

Even if you’ve been told you lack enough bone, modern techniques such as bone grafting may allow you to qualify for implants.

We will evaluate your individual case and create a personalized treatment plan.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

With proper care, dental implants can last decades — and often a lifetime.

The implant post itself is extremely durable. The crown may need replacement over time due to normal wear, but overall implants are one of the most long-lasting dental restorations available.

Maintaining implants requires:

• Regular brushing and flossing

• Routine dental checkups

• Professional cleanings
