Dental Implants Service

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

Consultation & Planning: Dr. Poulos, Dr. Elannan, or Dr. Wassef will review your medical and dental history, take imaging, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
Healing & Integration: Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone, providing a strong foundation.
Restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your smile.

I visited the practice for a teeth cleaning, and the experience was excellent. They brought me back early for my appointment, did a great job with my cleaning, and were easy to schedule with for my next appointment. Overall, they are a 6 on a 5 scale…😊

When my bridge unexpectedly fell out after 18 years on June 22, I called My Scottsdale Dentist, and they were able to see me the very same day at noon. Dr. Elannan thoroughly evaluated my situation, explained all of my options, and developed a plan to replace my bridge. Within just 2½ hours, I left with a temporary bridge, and they had already ordered my new porcelain bridge. I was so impressed by their efficiency, professionalism, and genuine care. Our family cannot say enough good things about this practice. Every time we’ve called—whether during regular office hours or after hours—they have been responsive, accommodating, and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Elannan and the entire My Scottsdale Dentist team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. They truly go above and beyond for their patients!
