Dental Implants & All-on-4 in Chandler, AZ
Permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like your natural smile. Single tooth to full-arch All-on-4 — everything handled in-house.
Overview
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with the bone — a process called osseointegration — a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached on top. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like the real thing.
Implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they're the only option that preserves your jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the bone beneath it begins to deteriorate. Implants stimulate the bone just like natural roots do, preventing the sunken facial appearance that often comes with tooth loss over time.
At Gateway Family Dentistry, Dr. Gailey handles the entire implant process in-house — from your initial consultation and 3D imaging to surgical placement and final restoration. There are no referrals to an outside specialist, no extra offices to visit, and no gaps in your care. You work with the same team from start to finish.
Whether you're missing a single tooth, several teeth, or need a full-arch solution like All-on-4, we have the training, technology, and experience to restore your smile. We also offer flexible financing so cost doesn't stand between you and the permanent solution you deserve.

Process
What to Expect
Free Consultation
Meet with Dr. Gailey to discuss your goals, review X-rays and 3D imaging, and find out if implants are right for you. We'll answer every question and provide a clear treatment plan with transparent pricing.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone. Sedation options are available for your comfort. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes per implant.
Healing Period
Over 3 to 6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone through osseointegration. You'll wear a temporary restoration during this time so you're never without teeth.
Final Restoration
Once fully healed, we attach your custom-crafted crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis. The result is a beautiful, functional smile that feels completely natural.
What Is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration technique that replaces an entire row of upper or lower teeth using just four strategically placed implants. Rather than placing one implant per tooth, the four posts are angled to maximize contact with available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting.
A full set of natural-looking teeth is attached to those four implants, giving you a permanent, non-removable smile that you care for just like natural teeth — brushing, flossing, and regular checkups. Many patients who've struggled with loose dentures or extensive decay find that All-on-4 transforms their quality of life.
The procedure can often be completed in fewer visits than traditional implants, and temporary teeth may be placed the same day as surgery so you never leave without a smile.
Dental Implants vs. Dentures
Traditional dentures rest on top of your gums and rely on adhesive or suction to stay in place. They can slip, click, and limit what you eat. Over time, the bone beneath them shrinks, changing the fit and your facial appearance.
Dental implants are anchored directly into your jawbone, so they don't move. You can eat steak, apples, corn on the cob — anything you want. They preserve your bone, maintain your facial structure, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
Implants also eliminate the daily routine of removing, soaking, and re-adhering dentures. You brush and floss them just like natural teeth. For patients currently wearing dentures, implant-supported options like All-on-4 offer a permanent upgrade that many describe as life-changing.
