Dental Implants in Scottsdale, AZ

At My Scottsdale Dentist, Dr. Steven H. Poulos, DDS, Dr. Erica Elannan, DDS, and Dr. Mike Wassef, DDS, ICOI, specializes in dental implants, a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants restore your smile, improve chewing ability, and help preserve the natural structure of your jaw and remaining teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore function and appearance. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, providing a long-lasting solution to tooth loss.

Benefits of Dental Implants
  • Permanent solution: Implants are designed to last many years, often a lifetime with proper care.
  • Natural appearance: Custom crowns, bridges, or dentures attach to implants for a seamless smile.
  • Preserve jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
  • Support surrounding teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require grinding down neighboring teeth.
  • Improved function: Chew, speak, and smile confidently without worry about slipping or discomfort.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. During a consultation, our doctors will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and overall health to determine the best implant solution.

Factors considered include:
  • Missing one or multiple teeth
  • Adequate jawbone for implant placement
  • Healthy gums and oral tissues
  • Commitment to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits
Dental Implant Process
  1. Consultation & Planning: Dr. Poulos, Dr. Elannan, or Dr. Wassef will review your medical and dental history, take imaging, and create a personalized treatment plan.
  2. Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
  3. Healing & Integration: Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone, providing a strong foundation.
  4. Restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your smile.
