We offer comprehensive implant dentistry from start to finish at our Phoenix dental office.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth complicate normal daily activities, such as sharing a smile with a friend or comfortably chewing, eating, and enjoying your favorite meal at a restaurant. You shouldn’t have to think twice about navigating these activities; they should just be natural things you do, and they can be again when you restore your smile with dental implants.

At O Dentistry, we can restore your smile with dental implants even if you’ve been told in the past that you’re not a candidate for them. Dr. O has the skills and expertise to place and restore dental implants at our Phoenix dental office. He can also complete a bone grafting procedure if you lack the support of a healthy jawbone structure, making dental implants accessible to almost every patient.

What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

Dental implants in Phoenix offer several benefits over other tooth replacement options. Here’s what you should know.

Natural Look and Feel

Dental implants restored with a porcelain crown blend seamlessly into your smile and feel just like natural teeth.

Simple Home Care

You’ll brush and floss around your implant just as you would a natural tooth, making home care easy and efficient.

Outstanding Longevity

Dental implants can potentially last a lifetime with the proper care and routine dental checkups with Dr. O.

Bite Stabilization

Replacing your tooth ensures there is no tooth movement or shifting that could result in bite misalignment.

Renewed Function

When your teeth are aligned and your bite is restored, you can chew and eat comfortably and easily.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental implants cost?

At O Dentistry, we understand that dental implant costs are an essential consideration for our patients. However, each case is unique, and the cost varies based on individual treatment needs.

The final investment in your dental implants depends on several factors specific to your situation:

Number of implants needed
Preparatory procedures (such as bone grafts or extractions)
Type of restoration being placed

Making Dental Implants in Phoenix, AZ, Accessible

Dr. O is committed to making quality dental care accessible. While many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for implants, our office staff will work with you to maximize your benefits. We also offer flexible in-house payment plans to help manage out-of-pocket expenses.

It is important to view dental implants as a long-term investment in your oral health. Unlike other tooth replacement options, which require replacement every 5-10 years, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care, making them cost-effective over time.

How Dental Implants Work

Implants use three integral parts that work together to create your new tooth:

The implant — Dr. O strategically places the implant into your bone, where it joins and integrates, becoming part of your dental anatomy and replacing your root.
The abutment — This piece is a connector, attaching the implant to its restoration.
The restoration — We use a custom porcelain crown to replace one missing tooth. For patients missing multiple teeth, two to six dental implants can support a bridge or denture.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants in Phoenix?

To be successful, dental implants require enough bone support and that the patient is in good general health. If you lack healthy bone structure, Dr. O can perform a bone grafting procedure here at O Dentistry.

During an initial evaluation, he’ll assess your general health and bone structure and advise on any dental work to be completed before placing dental implants. We can complete all dental implant procedures at our Phoenix dental office, so you can feel at ease working the entire time with the team you already know and trust.

If you’d like to book an evaluation with Dr. O, contact our team at (602) 242-1729 or request a visit online.
