Dental Implants

Missing teeth can make chewing more difficult and eventually lead to jaw recession. 

At AZ Implant & Denture Center, we can resolve these problems with dental implant surgery.

Our dentists can place your dental implants and attach a restoration on the same day at our Sun City West, AZ, practice.

What Are Dental Implants?

/

Dental implants are biocompatible titanium screws inserted into your jaw to act as tooth roots. A dental crown, bridge, or denture is placed on the implants to restore the function of your teeth.

Which Concerns Can Dental Implants Treat?

No matter how many teeth you're missing, our dentist can use implants and restorations to help you build a better-functioning smile. 

A Single Missing Tooth

A dental implant can support a crown to completely replace a single missing tooth.

Multiple Missing Teeth

If you have multiple missing teeth in a row, we can place two implants and a dental bridge to allow you to chew, talk, and smile with comfort and confidence.

Arch of Missing Teeth 

Depending on your jawbone density, we can replace an arch of teeth using only two, four, or six implants to support a denture.

Don't Harm Your Oral Health By Delaying Treatment For Lost Teeth

Missing teeth aren't just a cosmetic concern. When left untreated, missing teeth can result in oral health issues. Some oral health problems that may arise include:

Jawbone Recession

Your natural tooth roots give your jawbone the stimulation it needs to stay strong. The bone may atrophy from lack of stimulation when you lose a tooth. Dental implants are the only way to prevent this problem after losing teeth. 

TMJ Disorder

Missing teeth can cause you to exert pressure unevenly on your remaining teeth when you chew, smile, and go about your day. This uneven pressure may result in jaw misalignment and temporomandibular joint disorders.

Misaligned Teeth

As your remaining teeth shift to fill in the gap left behind by a missing tooth, they become misaligned. Misalignment can lead to several oral health problems, including excessive wear on remaining teeth.

Insurance and Financing  for Dental Implants

Implant surgery is not covered by insurance, but our Sun City West office accepts CareCredit® financing to help you break the cost of treatment into affordable monthly payments.

The Process  of Placing Dental Implants

All other dental practices in the area must wait 48 hours after implant placement to receive restorations. We create and place yours on the same day.

Consultation

Join us at our Sun City West dental office to discuss with Dr. Culver and our team if dental implants are right for you. We may take X-rays of your oral structures to get an idea of how much jawbone density you have.

Preparatory Procedures

For some patients, a sinus lift or bone grafting procedure is needed to qualify for treatment. If you need either of these preparatory procedures, we can perform them in our office. 

Implant Placement

Dr. Culver will surgically place your titanium implants into your jaw at the precise location and angle necessary to support your restoration. He uses surgical guides for effective placement.

Impressions

Once your implants are placed, we will take an impression of your mouth to create your crown, bridge, or denture.

Temporary Restoration

We can often place a temporary restoration on the same day you receive your implants so you can walk out of our Sun City West office with fully functioning teeth.

Permanent Restoration

After a few weeks, you'll join us at our office again. Our dentist will examine your mouth and ensure that you're healing properly before placing your permanent custom restoration.

Preparing for Implant Placement

Our Sun City West dentists can provide everything you'll need for your implant placement under one roof. If you require preparatory procedures, our dentist can perform:

Tooth Extractions

If you have an unhealthy tooth that you wish to replace with an implant and restoration, it will have to be extracted first. We can perform extractions and place implants in the same appointment.

Illustration of a bone grafting procedure

Bone Grafting

If your jawbone has receded due to tooth loss, we can perform a bone grafting procedure to add density. Having adequate bone will ensure a stronger base for your titanium implants.

Illustration of a sinus lift

Sinus Lifts

If your sinus floor is too close to where your implants would be placed in your upper jaw, we can perform a sinus lift to raise it and allow more space for your implants.

Comfortable Care  With Sedation and Local Anesthesia

We understand that many patients feel anxious about the prospect of undergoing oral surgery, but at AZ Implant & Denture Center in Sun City West, we do everything we can to make treatment as comfortable as possible.

In addition to local anesthesia to minimize discomfort at the treatment site, we offer IV sedation for patients who want to relax throughout their surgery. We work with a specialist to safely provide this service and ensure its efficacy.
