Dental Implants
Missing teeth used to mean one option. Today there are several, and the right one depends on your specific situation. Burns handles the full range of implant solutions in-house, from a single missing tooth to a complete arch replacement.
An exam and imaging are where the real conversation starts. What looks right on paper isn't always what's right for your bone structure, health history, and long-term goals. We will help you understand what's actually possible and why.
Thousands of implants placed.
Experience That Shows in the Results
Dr. Jerry Burns and his team have placed thousands of dental implants across their Sun City and Sun City West offices. Every stage of the process, consultation, surgery, and final restoration, is handled in-house. No referrals out. No coordinating between providers.

A Quick Look at Each Option
These descriptions are meant to inform you, not to determine your treatment. Your anatomy, bone density, health history, and other factors all influence what's actually possible. That's what the exam is for.
Implant Supported Teeth (Hybridge)
A permanent, full-arch solution for patients missing most or all of their teeth. Anchored directly to the jawbone using a series of implants. Burns uses the Hybridge system, a leading full-arch implant solution. Functions and feels like natural teeth. Not removable.
Snap-in Dentures
For patients who currently wear traditional dentures and want more stability. Anchored to implants but still removable by the patient for cleaning. A step above traditional dentures.
Single Implants
For patients missing one or two individual teeth with healthy surrounding teeth and adequate bone. The implant replaces the root, and a crown is placed on top. The closest thing to a natural tooth replacement available.
Worth knowing before your consultation.
How These Options Compare
| Implant Supported Teeth | Snap-in Dentures | Single Implants | |
| Best for | Missing most or all teeth | Current denture wearers | Missing one or two teeth |
| Permanent | Yes | No | Yes |
| Removable | No | Yes, by patient | No |
| Looks and feels natural | Yes | More so than traditional dentures | Yes, most closely mimics a natural tooth |
| Bone preservation | Yes | Partial | Yes |
| Typically recommended for | Good overall health with adequate bone density | Patients wanting stability without full implant surgery | Good dental health with healthy surrounding teeth |
| Investment | Highest | Moderate | Moderate, per tooth |
Your candidacy for any of these options is determined by exam and imaging, not by this table.
Many patients arrive expecting one solution and leave with a better one.
