Replace your dentures Teeth in a Day
Dental implants have many advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to the bone loss and facial disfiguration that occur when the bone is not stimulated, implant supported dentures don’t slip or need refitting. Now, recent advancements in technology have enabled us to replace a full arch of teeth with as little as 4 implants in a single day.
Teeth in a DayGum Disease Has Whole Health Consequences
Gum disease (periodontal disease) isn’t just an oral health issue. Researchers have associated gum disease (periodontal disease) to a number of serious medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke & respiratory diseases.
The Health ConsequencesCosmetic Periodontics
The health and shape of your gums have a large impact on the esthetics of your smile. Teeth covered by too much of your gums can cause them to look abnormally short, while too little gum coverage causes a “toothy smile”, or longer than average teeth.

High resolution 3D CT Scans give us a 3-Dimensional understanding of our patients and enable us to more accurately diagnosis and plan for implant surgeries. In addition to servicing our own patients, we have made our advanced imaging CBCT services to the surrounding Phoenix dental community. Our Instrumentarium OP 300 Maxio machine is a dental specific CT scanner resulting in low radiation and high resolution for dental diagnosis.
