What are Dental Implants?
Just because you lose a tooth doesn’t mean you’re doomed forever to a disappointing smile or difficulty chewing. While many patients opt for tooth replacements like dentures or partial dentures, dental implants are practical and permanent solutions that look and function just like your natural teeth. In only a few steps, our dental team can surgically place an anchor for a replacement tooth and give you the long-term results you want. Consult with our dental office to determine the best course of action for your needs.
At South Mountain Family Dental in Tempe, AZ, dental implants happen in three phases:
• A skilled dentist places the post into the jawbone.
• The area heals and undergoes osseointegration, which means it combines with the bone to create a solid foundation.
• An artificial tooth is placed securely onto the implant.
Dental work can be stressful, but be assured, we go above and beyond to make your experience easy and efficient. Our patients are thrilled with not only the look of their smiles after treatment but also the considerate care they receive at each visit.
Every smile is worth saving! Our expert team at South Mountain Family Dental in Tempe, AZ
can assess your unique needs and see if a dental implant could restore the look and function of your mouth. Find a custom solution that’s worth smiling about!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a wonderful alternative for treating empty spaces caused by tooth loss or for stabilizing a loose fitting denture. The procedure is virtually painless and is usually completed in 30-45 minutes.
Why Choose a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are a long term permanent solution for tooth loss. In most cases, dental implants offer the best aesthetics and can't be differentiated from your natural teeth.
Why is a Dental Implant Better than a Bridge?
Dental implants are a quick efficient solution to replace a missing tooth. A bridge requires cutting on adjacent healthy tooth structures or removing good crowns to close the space. Research shows a dental bridge has an average life span of 10 years and replacement becomes complicated when a bridge fails. A dental implant which is maintained well, can last a lifetime.
How does a Dental Implant Stabilize my Denture?
Most patients that have had dentures for ten or more years have experienced a change in the way their dentures fit and are retained. They will slowly lose bone over time making it difficult to chew on food or speak with their denture. A denture can physically be snapped onto a dental implant allowing for much more proficient speaking, chewing, and confidence in your denture.
