Dental Implants in Phoenix, AZ: Options for Replacing Missing Teeth

Missing one or more teeth can affect chewing, speaking, and the health of the surrounding teeth. Dental implants offer a long-term tooth replacement option by using a titanium implant post that is anchored into the jawbone and designed to function similarly to a natural tooth root.

For patients researching dental implants in Phoenix, AZ, treatment options can vary depending on the number of missing teeth, jawbone condition, and overall oral health.

Dental Implant Options

A single-tooth implant can replace one missing tooth without relying on neighboring teeth for support. For patients missing several teeth, multiple implants may be used to restore function in different areas of the mouth.

Patients who have lost most or all of their teeth may also have implant-supported denture options. All-On-4® uses four strategically positioned implants to support a fixed hybrid denture and may provide an alternative to traditional removable dentures for qualified patients.

What If There Isn't Enough Bone?

Adequate jawbone density is an important part of traditional implant placement. When bone loss has occurred, bone grafting may help rebuild the treatment area and provide additional support for an implant.

For some patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, zygomatic implants may be another option. These longer implants are anchored in the cheekbone rather than relying entirely on the upper jawbone.
