A Natural-Looking Missing Teeth Replacement

A missing tooth is never just a gap in your smile! It changes how you chew, often pushing you to favor the other side of your mouth. Over time, the bone underneath starts to shrink, and the teeth next to the gap can shift or tilt into the space. The longer you leave it untreated, the more it can affect the teeth around it.

At Atrium Dental, our dental implants in Ahwatukee address the issue at its source by replacing both the missing tooth and its root, so you can eat, speak, and smile without thinking twice about it.

Issues Tooth Implants Help Fix

Dental implants in Phoenix can replace teeth that are missing, badly damaged, or beyond saving. They restore both the tooth and the root underneath it rather than just covering the gap.At Atrium Dental, we use this dental restoration treatment to help fix:

If any of this sounds like what you’re dealing with, our office is ready to help you get your bite and your smile back.

Our Single Tooth Implant Procedure Steps

Consultation and Exam

We examine your missing or damaged tooth, check your bone health and your gums, and talk through what's brought you in.

Treatment Planning

We map out your implant placement, timeline, and whether you need a single tooth, several teeth, or a full arch.

Implant Placement

We place the implant post in your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over the next 3 to 6 months to form a stable, permanent root.

Healing and Restoration

Once your implant has healed, we attach your custom crown, and you leave with a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental implants cost?

Cost depends on the number of teeth involved, whether you need a bone graft, and your insurance coverage. We confirm your exact cost during a consultation. Contact us, and we’ll walk you through it.

Are dental implants painful?

No. We numb the area before placement, and sedation is available if you’d like it. Most patients feel mild soreness for a few days afterward, similar to a tooth extraction.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most patients with healthy gums and enough jawbone are good candidates. If you’ve lost bone from a long-missing tooth, you may still qualify with a bone graft first. Dr. Foroughi confirms candidacy with an exam and imaging.

How long do dental implants take?

The full process usually takes 3 to 6 months from placement to final crown, since the implant needs time to fuse with your jawbone. Some cases move faster or slower depending on healing and bone quality.

How long does a dental implant last?

With regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits, an implant can last 20 to 30 years, and often a lifetime.

Will people be able to tell I have a dental implant?

No. The dental tooth crown is shaped and shaded to match the teeth around it, so it looks and functions like a natural tooth.

Can I get a dental implant if I've had the missing tooth for years?

Yes, in most cases. If the jawbone has thinned from the missing tooth, we may recommend a bone graft first to build a stable base for the implant.

Can you replace more than one missing tooth with implants?

Yes. We can place individual implants for several missing teeth, or use implant-supported bridges or dentures to replace multiple teeth more efficiently.
