Gain Confidence To Pursue Goals
Smile Genuinely With Dental Implants in Glendale
If you're missing one or more teeth, you are likely all too familiar with the embarrassment of showing your full smile in public. You may have mastered the art of the closed-lip smile or hide your smile behind your hand when talking or laughing. If this sounds like you, the team at Glendale Gentle Dentistry can help. Using dental implants in Glendale, we can rebuild your smile and restore its former glory.
After treatment from Dr. Stanfield, you can smile with full confidence in public, knowing your teeth are attractive. You can eat and enjoy all your favorite foods again. You can dare to try new menu options when dining out and make better first impressions on your job. Mingling and socializing becomes more enjoyable as you draw others to you with a warm and genuine smile.
Renew Your Smile
Until modern dental implants came along several decades ago, dentists usually relied on bridges to replace missing teeth.
While bridges work great, placing them requires modifying otherwise healthy teeth so crowns can be placed on them to anchor the bridge.
Teeth implants changed all that. No tooth modification needs to be done to place implants and secure replacement teeth to them.
The implants themselves can last for decades, or even the rest of your life. Your artificial teeth should last for at least five to seven years before needing replacement.
Find the Option for Your Smile
At your initial consultation, we'll discuss all your implant options for restoring your smile. Some of the most popular ways we use implants are:
- Implant-Crown Combination -We'll top a single implant with a custom-fitted crown to restore the beauty of your smile and give you back a strong bite.
- Implant-Supported Bridges - An implant bridge will fill in the gap left by three or more missing teeth, with no one being the wiser that it's not your natural teeth.
- Implant-Retained Dentures - A system of snaps and balls will keep your dentures anchored firmly to implants until you remove them for cleaning.
- Implant-Supported Dentures - These dentures are attached to a metal bar that runs along your implants. They are designed to be removed only by your dentist.
- All-on-4® Dental Implants - You'll love these teeth, as we will anchor them in place using only four implants per arch. Just brush and floss them like you would your natural teeth.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction - If you're suffering from widespread dental damage or disease, our team can create a plan to give you back your smile and bite using implants.
No matter what condition your smile is in when you arrive at our office, we can help! Create your dream smile with Glendale dental implants and other restorative and cosmetic services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small posts made from titanium that your dentist inserts into your jawbone to serve as replacement teeth roots. If you are missing one or more teeth, implants function as a base for several types of new replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, dentures, and full arches of fixed teeth.
Are dental implants painful?
Like any oral surgical procedure Dr. Stanfield performs, we will make sure you are completely numb during your dental implant placement. You might experience some discomfort in the initial days of recovery, but once dental implants are placed, they will naturally fuse to your jawbone as you heal and will give you full, comfortable oral function.
Can dental implants be removed?
Dental implants could be removed, although it is not likely you would need to have them removed. Once your implants are placed in your jawbone, they will fuse with the bone and last for decades, if not a lifetime. Your replacement teeth attached to the implants will last five to 10 years on average.
