Implants & Periodontics

Periodontics and dental implants in the Phoenix metropolitan area

Implants & Periodontics is a dental clinic specializing in periodontics and implantology operating in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. Its activity focuses on dental implant placement, treatment of gum disease, and periodontal surgical procedures, with locations in Chandler, Mesa, and Queen Creek.

The clinic presents itself as a comprehensive care center for the whole family, with a team of periodontists and a focus on patient comfort. According to its own description, the staff has a collective tenure of ten years or more and maintains a close rapport, greeting patients by name.

Implant treatments

The service catalog includes single dental implants, fixed implant-supported bridges, and implant-supported dentures. The clinic describes implants as a versatile and durable solution for replacing lost teeth, aiming to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.

Among the advanced techniques offered are All-on-4 full-arch implants, which anchor a complete set of teeth on four strategically placed implants in each jaw, and zygomatic implants, aimed at cases of severe bone loss. Zirconia fixed bridges are also offered as an aesthetic and functional alternative.

Periodontal procedures and gum surgery

The clinic addresses periodontal disease treatment through procedures such as LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure), a laser therapy designed to remove infected tissue and stimulate gum regeneration without the need for scalpel surgery. It also applies LAPIP (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure), focused on inflammation around dental implants.

Other periodontal procedures include gum grafts using the Chao Pinhole technique, osseous surgery, gingivectomy, and frenectomy, as well as oral surgery. The clinic describes these interventions as minimally invasive options, with less discomfort and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

Periodontal plastic surgery

Within the area of periodontics, the clinic performs periodontal plastic surgery, a specialty focused on improving the aesthetics of the gums and surrounding tissues. These procedures include gum grafts to correct recessions and crown lengthening to expose more tooth surface, with the goal of improving both the appearance of the smile and oral function.

Sedation and emergency care

The clinic offers sedation options for procedures, including intravenous sedation, and provides dental emergency care. The medical team includes professionals certified in IV sedation, such as Dr. Niels Jensen and Dr. Aaron Compton, allowing complex treatments to be addressed with greater patient comfort.
