Precision.

Esthetics.

The Core of Implant Dentistry.

Implant dentistry is the discipline of replacing missing teeth with precision-engineered titanium or ceramic roots that bond directly to the jawbone. By rebuilding both form and function, implants restore chewing strength, preserve facial structure, and prevent the bone loss that naturally follows tooth loss.

At Smile Science Dental Spa in Glendale, AZ, implant dentistry is not just a procedure. It is a carefully planned, technology-driven process. Every treatment begins with digital imaging, 3D planning, and esthetic design to create restorations that look natural and perform for decades.

From a single missing tooth to a full-arch transformation, our team delivers personalized, predictable outcomes with options that include same-day teeth, zirconia bridges, and advanced surgical solutions.

Permanent Replacement

Titanium roots that mimic natural tooth structure — stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations.

Bone Preservation

Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss and facial collapse that follow tooth loss.

Function & Confidence

A secure, natural-feeling bite — speak, chew, and smile without hesitation or worry.

Natural Aesthetics

Modern restorations blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth — indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Versatile Solutions

Single tooth to complete full-arch rehabilitation — we match the solution precisely to your anatomy.

Decades of Stability

With proper care, implants last a lifetime — the most long-term tooth replacement available.

All-on-4 dental implants provide a revolutionary solution for those looking to restore their smile and dental function efficiently and effectively. Even if you don’t need a full-arch restoration, you can benefit from our single or multi-tooth dental implants in Glendale, AZ for individual tooth replacement.

Typical All-on-4® Timeline

4–6 Months Start to Finish

  1. A 3D CBCT scan evaluates bone levels, goals, and treatment options — included free at your first visit.

    Consultation & CBCT

  2. Pre-Treatment Planning

    We finalize your plan, take impressions, and map implant placement using digital surgical guides.

  3. Implants are placed into the jawbone. Many patients leave with a temporary restoration the same day.

    Surgical Placement

  4. Healing & Integration

    Implants fuse with the jawbone over 3–6 months. You'll wear your secure provisional bridge throughout.

  5. A custom zirconia bridge or full-arch prosthesis is placed for a strong, natural, permanent result.

    Final Restoration

  6. Maintenance & Follow-Up

    Scheduled professional cleanings and check-ups protect your investment and keep implants healthy for life.

Our Other Lending Partners

Your surgery day at a glance

  1. ~30 minutes

    We confirm your medical history and consent forms, verify your customized plan, and take any final photos/scans. You'll meet the surgical and prosthetic team, review expectations, and ask last-minute questions.

    Check-in & Final Review

  2. Anesthesia & Comfort

    10-20 minutes

    Based on your plan, we'll use local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation. We monitor you throughout. You'll be comfortable and won't feel pain during the procedure.

  3. 1-2 hours per arch

    Using your CBCT and digital guide, we remove any non-restorable teeth (if needed), prepare the sites, and place 4-6 implants (tilted posterior implants if appropriate). We confirm primary stability and position for the future bridge.

    Implant Placement

  4. Recovery from Anesthesia

    20-30 minutes

    You'll rest in our recovery area until you're stable, then head home with a responsible adult (no driving after oral/IV sedation for 24 hours). Expect grogginess if sedated; numbness from local anesthesia wears off in 2-6 hours.

  5. 30-60 minutes

    We fit your same-day provisional (PMMA) or an immediate healing prosthesis, check your bite/occlusion, and make comfort/phonetic adjustments. If we're doing upper + lower, we balance your bite so chewing forces are distributed evenly.

    Provisional Try-in & Bite Check

  6. Post-Op Instructions & Kit

    ~15 minutes

    You'll receive written instructions, medication guidance, a soft-diet guide, and hygiene tips for the first weeks. We schedule your first check-in visit and answer any final questions.

  7. Most patients leave the same day with a fixed provisional and a soft-diet plan while the implants integrate (you'll still smile and speak normally). Important: same-day delivery depends on start time, case complexity, implant stability, and in-house lab capacity. When same-day isn't feasible, we deliver your provisional within 24-48 hours -- you'll never be left without teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental implants are small, titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. They serve as a stable foundation for supporting artificial teeth, including crowns, bridges, and dentures. Dental implants are designed to mimic the root of a natural tooth, providing a strong and durable solution for tooth replacement that can last a lifetime with proper care.

Dental implants require surgery, healing time, and healthy bone for long-term success. While complications are rare, they can include infection, implant failure, or additional procedures like grafting. Implants also require a financial investment, though their longevity often makes them more cost-effective than other options.

A single dental implant at Smile Science starts at $3,499. Full-arch solutions such as All-on-4 begin at $10,999. Total cost depends on how many teeth are being replaced, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of final restoration. Transparent pricing and financing options are available to help make treatment accessible.

Most patients describe the procedure as far more comfortable than expected. Sedation options are available, and discomfort afterward is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter medication. Many patients return to normal activities within a few days.

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last decades and often a lifetime. The crown or bridge may need replacement after many years, but the implant itself can remain stable indefinitely with good hygiene and regular checkups.

Most healthy adults qualify for implants. Patients with uncontrolled medical conditions, heavy smoking habits, or untreated gum disease may require additional care before treatment. A personalized consultation determines candidacy and treatment modifications if needed.

Most insurance plans do not fully cover dental implants but may cover related procedures like extractions, grafting, or dentures. Some plans offer partial reimbursement for implants. At Smile Science, we review your benefits during your consultation so there are no surprises.

People with insufficient bone, uncontrolled diabetes, immune disorders, or those who cannot undergo minor surgery may not be candidates without additional preparation. Bone grafting, zygomatic implants, or other techniques may make treatment possible even in complex cases.

Removable dentures and partial dentures are less expensive options, but they often lack the comfort, function, and stability of implants. Snap-in dentures offer a middle ground, combining affordability with improved security.

For many patients, the idea of surgery is more intimidating than the actual experience. Mild soreness and a healing period are expected, but with sedation and good post-operative care, discomfort is minimal.

A single implant can sometimes be restored the same day with a temporary tooth. Full healing and final prosthetics typically take three to six months. Full-arch cases often allow immediate load, meaning patients leave with teeth the same day.

No, dental implants themselves do not decay. However, the surrounding gum tissue can develop inflammation or infection (peri-implantitis). Good oral hygiene and regular checkups are essential to keep implants healthy.

For most patients, yes. Implants provide greater chewing power, stability, and comfort than removable dentures. They also help prevent bone loss in the jaw, something dentures cannot do.

Success rates are typically 95% or higher. Factors like smoking, medical conditions, or poor hygiene can increase the risk of failure, but proper planning and maintenance make complications uncommon.

There is no strict upper age limit. What matters most is bone health and overall medical condition. Many of our patients are in their 60s, 70s, and beyond.

Yes. Full-arch solutions like All-on-4 and zygomatic implants are designed for completely edentulous patients. In many cases, you can leave with fixed teeth the same day.

Yes. Many patients qualify for "teeth in a day," where implants and a fixed temporary bridge are placed in a single visit. This is especially common with All-on-4 and full-arch treatments.

Certain medical conditions, severe bone loss, or financial constraints may lead to recommending other options. At Smile Science, we explore every viable path, including grafting and advanced anchorage, before ruling out implants.

Most patients say their only regret is not getting them sooner. Implants significantly improve chewing, confidence, and quality of life when properly planned and placed.

Implant Dentistry Glossary

The biological process by which a titanium implant fuses directly with the jawbone, creating a stable and permanent foundation. Typically completes within 3 to 6 months after placement.
An inflammatory condition affecting the gum tissue and bone surrounding a dental implant, similar to gum disease around natural teeth. Preventable with proper hygiene and regular maintenance visits.
The connector component that attaches to the implant fixture and supports the final crown, bridge, or denture.
A surgical procedure that augments or rebuilds the jawbone to create sufficient volume and density for implant placement. May use your own bone, donor material, or synthetic substitutes.
A full-arch restoration technique that uses four strategically placed implants to support a fixed bridge, restoring an entire arch of teeth. The posterior implants are angled to maximize contact with available bone.
The titanium screw-shaped post surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as the artificial tooth root. Once osseointegration is complete, it supports the abutment and final restoration.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography -- a 3D imaging technology used to assess bone volume, density, and anatomy for precise implant planning. Included at no charge during your free consultation at Smile Science.
A high-strength ceramic material used for implant crowns, bridges, and full-arch prosthetics. Valued for its natural appearance, biocompatibility, and resistance to staining.
A longer implant anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the jawbone, used for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who cannot support conventional implants.

Medical Review & Evidence

Richard Dawson, DMD, ICOI Fellow
Author: Richard Dawson, DMD, ICOI Fellow Medically Reviewed by: John Turke, DMD Last Updated: April 2026

Dental implants are among the most thoroughly researched tooth-replacement options in modern dentistry, with decades of clinical data supporting their safety and effectiveness.

  • Titanium implant fixtures achieve osseointegration with success rates consistently above 95% in healthy non-smoking patients over 10-year follow-up periods.[1]
  • Implant-supported fixed restorations preserve alveolar bone significantly better than conventional removable prosthetics, reducing bone resorption and facial volume loss over time.[2]
  • Full-arch implant techniques (All-on-4, All-on-6, zygomatic anchorage) demonstrate predictable long-term outcomes in appropriately selected patients, including those with advanced bone loss.[3]
  • IV sedation and oral conscious sedation administered by trained clinicians are safe and well-tolerated for surgical implant procedures.[4]
  • Digital workflow integration — CBCT planning, guided surgery, and in-house milling — improves implant placement accuracy and prosthetic fit compared to conventional analog techniques.[5]

Long-Term Success

Maintenance & Longevity

Dental implants are designed to last for decades. Their long-term success depends on healthy gums, clean prosthetics, and a bite that does not overload the implants. Here is what we recommend at Smile Science Dental Spa.

Daily Home Care
  1. 1
    Brush twice daily with a soft brush. Angle bristles toward the gumline and spend extra time around abutments.
  2. 2
    Clean between teeth with implant-safe tools: Super Floss, interdental brushes, or a water flosser.
  3. 3
    Antimicrobial rinse as directed after surgery or if you have a history of gum inflammation.
  4. 4
    Night guard if you clench or grind. Ask us about neuromodulators when bruxism is severe.
  5. 5
    If a tool shreds or catches, switch tools and let us know at your next visit.

Our Implant Warranty

Real Protection, Not Hype

You’ve probably seen other implant centers advertising “lifetime warranties.” The reality is that those promises often sound better than they actually are. Dental implants can last many years, but they are medical devices that require ongoing care, and no one can guarantee a prosthesis for life.

We prefer to be clear and honest with you up front.

What’s CoveredHow LongWhat it MeansYour Part
Implant Fixture (the titanium implant in bone)10 yearsIf the implant fails under normal use, we will replace the fixture. Manufacturer support may provide a new implant.Regular hygiene visits, good home care, proper nightguard use, no nicotine use, follow your maintenance plan.
Prosthetic Restoration (bridge, full arch, or crown)5 yearsCovers fractures or failures under normal use. We’ll repair or replace as needed.Routine scheduled checks, report issues early, wear a night guard as prescribed.
Surgical Complications3 yearsIf a fixture fails early despite proper healing, we’ll replace it at no fee.Follow post-op instructions and attend follow-up appointments.

Why we don’t say “lifetime warranty”

  • No dental prosthesis lasts forever without maintenance.
  • Most “lifetime” promises exclude common causes of failure.
  • If a clinic is sold or closes, those warranties typically disappear.
  • Because trust matters. We believe being honest and transparent with our patients is the foundation of a long-term relationship built on real care, not marketing tactics.

Our approach

  • Clear coverage and responsibilities.
  • No hidden fine print.
  • The same high standard of care years after treatment.

Bottom Line

You deserve a warranty that’s clear, not just clever wording. We choose transparency over marketing gimmicks, so you know exactly what’s covered, how long it’s covered, and what’s expected to keep it valid. Our patients trust us because we make straightforward promises and keep them.
