Missing teeth can make everyday things—like eating, speaking, or smiling—feel uncomfortable or even embarrassing. But thanks to the expert care at Arizona Periodontal Group, patients from Arcadia, Camelback East, Encanto, North Mountain, and nearby communities are rediscovering their confidence through permanent, natural-looking dental implants.
Conveniently located just off I-17 and Northern Avenue, our Phoenix practice offers state-of-the-art implant dentistry led by experienced periodontist Dr. Ariel Trujillo.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth roots. Over time, they fuse with the bone, creating a sturdy foundation for custom crowns, bridges, or dentures. At Arizona Periodontal Group, Dr. Trujillo utilizes state-of-the-art techniques to ensure that each implant looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants:
- Feel and function like natural teeth
- Prevent jawbone deterioration
- Do not rely on adjacent teeth for support
- Offer long-term, stable results
Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
✅ Natural Appearance and Comfort
Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, implants restore your smile’s aesthetics and functionality.
✅ Durability and Longevity
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a wise long-term investment.
✅ Preservation of Jawbone Health
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically accompanies missing teeth.
✅ No Impact on Adjacent Teeth
Unlike traditional bridges, implants don’t require alteration of neighboring teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
✅ Enhanced Comfort and Convenience
Say goodbye to the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures; implants become a permanent part of your mouth.
The Dental Implant Process at Arizona Periodontal Group
Here’s what you can expect when you choose Dr. Trujillo for your dental implant procedure:
1. Comprehensive Consultation
During your initial visit at our Phoenix office, Dr. Trujillo will conduct a thorough examination, including 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and discuss your goals.
2. Precise Implant Placement
Utilizing advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Trujillo will place the titanium implant into your jawbone with minimal discomfort. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
3. Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the implant will integrate with your jawbone, forming a solid foundation for your new tooth.
4. Abutment Placement
Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This component serves as a connector for the final restoration.
5. Custom Restoration
A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then securely attached to the abutment, completing your smile restoration.
