However, Scottsdale dental implants provide an excellent alternative to a bridge to restore your smile and give you back a strong bite. Dental implant restorations from Alex Martin, DDS will help you:
- Enjoy a long-term tooth replacement solution

Why Choose Dental Implants?
Teeth implants have become the preferred way to replace missing teeth. The reason is, implants will fuse with the bone in your jaw once they are inserted by a specialist. In most cases, this process will take a few months to complete, at which time Dr. Martin and his team will secure replacement teeth to the implants.
Implants also stimulate your jawbone to produce new bone cells, helping keep it healthy and whole. This prevents changes in your facial structure that can make you look older than you are. Implants are a great way to replace one or more missing teeth.
At Alex Martin, DDS we offer the following implant systems:
Single Implant-Crown Combination
For just one missing tooth, a simple implant will be placed in your jaw. Our team will then anchor a custom-fitted crown to the implant to complete the natural-looking restoration.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Your implant-supported dental bridge will secure to two or more implants, providing a stable base for replacement teeth and filling in the gap in your smile.
All-on-4® Dental Implants
If you need a full arch of teeth replaced, All-on-4 dental implants will secure an upper or lower set of fixed teeth using just four implants.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Our Scottsdale dental team can repair widespread dental damage or full-mouth tooth loss by developing a comprehensive treatment plan using implants and replacement teeth.
Relax with Gentle Sedation
If you experience dental anxiety or feel nervous about receiving dental care, we offer anxiety-relieving medication in pill form. Simply take the pill as directed ahead of time, and your dental anxiety will melt away. You’ll feel completely relaxed by the time your procedure begins and stay relaxed throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Alex Martin, DDS, we offer several implant solutions depending on your needs, including single tooth implant-crown restorations, implant-supported bridges, All-on-4® full arch implants, and full-mouth reconstruction. Each option is designed to restore function, appearance, and long-term oral health based on how many teeth are missing.
The full implant placement process typically takes several months. After the implant is placed, it needs time to fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once healing is complete, a custom crown, bridge, or full arch restoration is attached to complete your smile.
Most patients report that implant placement is more comfortable than expected. We use advanced techniques and offer anxiety-relieving medication to help you stay relaxed during treatment. Mild soreness afterward is normal, but it is typically manageable and temporary. After your dental implants have fully healed, they will look, feel, and function just like normal teeth.
Alex Martin, DDS offers several dental implant restoration options in Scottsdale, AZ, including single implant-crown restorations, implant-supported bridges, All-on-4 dental implants, and implant-based solutions for full-mouth reconstruction. Dr. Martin can help determine which implant option fits your tooth replacement needs.
The dental implant process can take several months because the implant typically needs time to integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is attached. Your implant treatment timeline with Alex Martin, DDS, will depend on the number of teeth being replaced, your oral health, healing, and whether additional procedures are needed.

Yes. A single dental implant can replace one missing tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, a custom dental crown can be attached to complete the restoration.
Yes. Multiple missing teeth can be replaced with an implant-supported bridge or another implant restoration. For patients who have lost an entire arch of teeth, All-on-4 dental implants may be an option.
An implant-supported bridge replaces multiple missing teeth by securing the restoration to two or more dental implants. Unlike a traditional bridge, it does not rely on natural teeth next to the gap for support.
Dental implants can help preserve the jawbone after tooth loss by providing stimulation to the surrounding bone. This can help maintain the bone structure that naturally begins to change when tooth roots are no longer present.
Dental implant restorations are custom-designed to fit your smile and replace the appearance, feel, and function of natural teeth. At Alex Martin, DDS, an implant-supported crown or bridge can be matched to your existing teeth for a seamless, natural-looking result.
Dental implants do not require special removable care like traditional dentures, but maintaining excellent oral hygiene is important. Brushing, cleaning between your teeth, and attending regular dental appointments can help protect the health of your implants and surrounding tissues.
