East Valley Dentisty is amazing! Would highly recommend. Very nice place and their staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Burns is awesome and creates a comfortable experience. He is always aware of of patient care. Even during more invasive procedures he manages to make it comfortable and no big deal. I’ve have had no issues with the crown he put on or discomfort with any of the procedures I’ve had done with him. The dental hygienists are friendly welcoming and professional. Never had any issues with billing or insurance. Can’t say enough good things about this practice.

Understanding the Impacts of Tooth Loss

Living with tooth loss can significantly impact your daily life, affecting not only your ability to enjoy your favorite foods but also your confidence and overall well-being. Missing teeth can make simple tasks like speaking and chewing difficult, leading to feelings of self-consciousness and frustration. Additionally, gaps left by missing teeth can cause the surrounding teeth to shift, leading to further dental issues and bone loss over time.

At East Valley Dentistry, we understand the emotional and physical challenges that come with tooth loss. Dr. Burns and our compassionate team are dedicated to providing effective solutions, such as dental implants, to restore your smile and improve your quality of life. We are here to support you every step of the way, offering personalized care to help you regain your confidence and enjoy life to the fullest.

The Best Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants are a superior tooth replacement option because they not only fill the gap in your smile but also restore your overall oral health. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants stop bone loss, a common consequence of tooth loss. Dental implants are versatile and can be used with a variety of restorations to replace one or all of your teeth. Plus, they offer the best longevity of all tooth replacement treatments.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Unparalleled Comfort: Implants feel and function just like natural teeth. You can brush and floss like normal and still enjoy your favorite foods.-
  • Natural Look: Your implant will be paired with a durable and natural-looking, custom-crafted restoration to blend seamlessly with your smile.
  • Preserve Your Oral Health: Implants are made from biocompatible materials and mimic the form and function of your tooth’s natural roots, preventing bone resorption caused by tooth loss.

The Dental Implant Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

Get Started on the Right Path

Choosing dental implants can feel like a big decision, but we're here to make it easy for you. During your comprehensive implant consultation, Dr. Burns will conduct an exam, take X-rays, and perform an oral evaluation to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Placement

Precise and Comfortable Surgery

After your treatment plan is approved, Dr. Burns will schedule your implant surgery. Using advanced CBCT technology, he will ensure precise placement of the implant for increased patient comfort and better outcomes. During the procedure, an opening is made in your gums, and the dental implant is securely placed into the jawbone. The surgical site is then cleaned and sutured to begin the healing process.
Healing & Osseointegration

Natural Fusion with Your Jawbone

Post-surgery, your gums and jawbone will begin to heal. The incision area typically heals within 1-2 weeks, but it takes 3-6 months for the implant to fully integrate with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.
Applying the Restoration

Completing Your New Smile

Once osseointegration is complete, Dr. Burns will place the final restoration. The restoration, often a dental crown, is designed to match the rest of your teeth and is securely attached to the titanium implant via an abutment. This completes the process, restoring your smile to its full functionality and appearance.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Results

No Guess-Work, More Comfort

With cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology, we give our patients peace of mind. This reliable technology ensures precise implant placement, increasing patient comfort and improving overall outcomes.

3D Printing for Accurate Surgery

Our 3D printer allows us to produce custom surgical guides for a precise and seamless surgical experience. Your surgery will be quicker, more comfortable, and will produce optimal results.

Immediate Implants

Whenever possible, Dr. Burns can place your implant immediately after extraction, eliminating the need for an additional surgery. 

Bone Grafting

Some patients require extra preparation before receiving dental implants. Dr. Burns is experienced in a variety of oral surgeries, including bone grafting, to ensure your implants function properly and stand the test of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a single tooth implant?

A single tooth implant is a dental implant designed to replace one missing tooth. It consists of a titanium post that acts as a root and a dental crown that replaces the visible part of the tooth.

How are dental implants made?

Dental implants are made from biocompatible materials, typically titanium. The implant post is surgically placed in the jawbone, and once integrated, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the tooth's function and appearance.

How long will my dental implant last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene practices are essential to maintaining the longevity of your implant.

Can my dental implant become infected?

While rare, an implant can become infected if proper oral hygiene is not maintained. Regular dental visits and good oral care can prevent infections and ensure the health of your implant.

Do dental implants stop bone loss?

Yes, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that prevents bone loss by mimicking the natural root structure of your tooth, stimulating the jawbone and preserving its integrity.

Can I get an implant in one day?

In some cases, immediate implants can be placed right after tooth extraction. Dr. Burns will determine if you are a candidate for this procedure during your consultation..
