If you live in Tempe and you are researching dental implants, you have probably noticed how hard it is to get a straight answer about cost, timing, and who actually does the work. This page was written for you. Maybe you are an ASU staff member with a failing bridge, a south Tempe parent who cracked a molar years ago, or a recent graduate still living with the gap from an old sports injury. Below you will find real prices, an honest description of the process, and a clear picture of implant, veneer, and crown care at Glisten Dental Mesa, our office a short drive east of Tempe.
First, the honest part: we are not in Tempe. Glisten Dental Mesa is at 633 N Gilbert Rd, Mesa, AZ 85203. Most Tempe patients reach us in one straight shot up Gilbert Road or off the US-60. Your first step costs nothing: we offer a free implant consultation that includes 3D imaging, so you can find out whether you are a candidate and what your specific case would cost before you spend anything. To schedule, call 602-932-2555.
The clinical team at this office includes Dr. Joshua Baer and Dr. Carlos Rogel, and the group was founded by Dr. Revan Dawood, DMD. Tempe patients see the same doctors from the first scan through the final crown.
Getting to Our Mesa Office from Tempe
From most of Tempe, the drive is simple. Loop 101 Price connects to the US-60 Superstition Freeway, and Gilbert Road is a straight exit north from there. If you prefer surface streets, Broadway Road and Southern Avenue run east from Tempe directly to Gilbert Road. Patients coming from the ASU campus or the Mill Avenue district can also take Loop 202 along the north side of the city and cut south. Our office is at 633 N Gilbert Rd, on Gilbert Road just north of Main Street in Mesa, with parking at the building. Many Tempe patients book early appointments before work or stop in on the way home.
Why do Tempe patients make the trip instead of picking a closer office? Usually for three reasons: the free consultation includes 3D imaging rather than a quick look, every treatment plan comes with a written line-by-line estimate before work begins, and crowns are made in-house with same-day CEREC technology. Add Cherry and CareCredit financing, and the whole thing is easier to plan around than most people expect.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Implants replace missing teeth in three common situations. A single implant fills one gap, whether the tooth was lost last month or a decade ago. Several implants can support a bridge when two or three teeth in a row are gone. And for patients missing most or all of an arch, four implants can anchor a full set of fixed teeth, covered in the All-on-4 section below. The one requirement that surprises people is bone: the implant needs enough healthy bone to hold it, and bone slowly shrinks after a tooth comes out.
That is why the free consultation matters. The 3D scan shows exactly how much bone you have and where an implant could go, so the answer to “am I a candidate” is based on imaging, not guesswork. Healthy gums help, and certain health conditions affect healing, which the doctors review with you. For a full explanation of the treatment itself, visit our dental implants page.
We see Tempe patients at every stage: cyclists who took a spill on the paths around Tempe Town Lake, weekend softball players with a cracked tooth, and longtime residents who simply had an old crown fail after twenty years. Wherever you are starting from, the process below is the same.
The Implant Process, Step by Step
A single implant usually takes a few months from first scan to final crown. Here is the sequence Tempe patients can expect at our Mesa office:
- Free consultation with 3D imaging. You leave knowing whether you are a candidate and what your case costs.
- Written estimate. Every line item, fixture, abutment, crown, and any preparatory work, spelled out before treatment is scheduled.
- Placement appointment. The implant fixture is placed in the bone in a single visit. In many cases a temporary tooth can be worn while you heal.
- Healing. Over the next few months the bone bonds to the implant, a process called osseointegration.
- Final crown. The abutment and a custom crown matched to your neighboring teeth complete the tooth.
Most of the calendar time is healing, not appointments. The placement visit itself is typically shorter than patients expect, and normal Tempe routines, work, classes, the gym, usually resume within a day or two.
What Dental Implants Cost
A single dental implant at Glisten Dental Mesa starts from $2,900, and that figure is complete: the implant fixture, the abutment, and the crown. No teaser number that grows once you sit down. Before any treatment begins, you receive a written, line-by-line estimate, and that written number is what you plan around. If anything in your case would change the price, you see it on paper first.
Have insurance? Many dental plans contribute toward major work, commonly around half of a covered procedure up to the plan’s annual maximum, but every plan is different and some exclude implants entirely. Bring your card to the consultation and the team verifies your benefits before the estimate is written. No insurance? Our implant cost guide for patients without insurance walks through the numbers in detail.
All-on-4 for a Full Arch of Missing Teeth
If you are missing most or all of the teeth in an upper or lower arch, or you are tired of a denture that moves when you talk, All-on-4 may be the right conversation to have. Four implants anchor a full fixed bridge that stays in place: no adhesive, no removal at night. All-on-4 at our Mesa office runs $15,999-$20,000 per arch, quoted per arch rather than as one large package number. Where your case lands in that range depends on your bone, your bite, and the materials you choose, all spelled out in your written estimate. Read more on our All-on-4 implants page.
Same-Day CEREC Crowns, One Visit
Not every damaged tooth needs to come out. When a tooth can be saved, a crown is often the answer, and our Mesa office makes crowns in-house with CEREC same-day technology. The tooth is scanned digitally, the crown is designed and milled on site, and it is placed in the same appointment. No temporary crown, no second visit, no two weeks of waiting. For Tempe patients juggling classes, commutes, or kid schedules, one visit instead of two is a real difference. Crowns run $900-$1,500 depending on material. Learn more on our dental crowns page or see the full breakdown in the crown cost guide.
Veneers for Chipped, Gapped, or Worn Front Teeth
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct chips, gaps, deep stains, and worn edges. Tempe patients ask about them before weddings, graduations, and job interviews, but plenty simply want to stop hiding their teeth in photos at the lake. Pricing is quoted per case, not per tooth: an 8-veneer smile makeover runs $7,000-$15,000, and smaller cases are priced individually with the same written-estimate approach. Details are on our veneers page and the veneer cost guide.
A step many patients value comes before any commitment. Our free Smile Preview creates a digital preview of your new smile, so you can see the direction before you decide anything.
Financing: Cherry and CareCredit
Implants, veneers, and crowns are easier to fit into a budget when the cost is spread over time. Glisten Dental Mesa works with Cherry and CareCredit, and many patients apply online before their visit so they walk in knowing their options. Pair financing with the written estimate and you know the real monthly number before treatment starts, not after. Details and application links are on our financing page.
Questions Tempe Patients Ask
Do you have an office in Tempe?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Our office is in Mesa at 633 N Gilbert Rd, and this page exists because so many of our patients live in Tempe and make the short drive. The free consultation with 3D imaging keeps the first visit low-pressure: come get real numbers, then decide.
How long does a single implant take from start to finish?
Plan on a few months from the first scan to the final crown. The placement appointment is one visit; most of the timeline is the healing period while bone bonds to the implant. Cases that need bone grafting or other preparation take longer. Your consultation includes a realistic schedule based on your 3D imaging, not a generic answer.
Will my dental insurance cover an implant?
It depends on the plan. Many PPO dental plans pay a portion of major procedures, often near half of the covered amount up to an annual maximum, while some plans exclude implants. We verify your benefits before writing your estimate so the numbers reflect your actual coverage. Whatever insurance does not cover can be financed through Cherry or CareCredit.
Can I preview veneers before I commit?
Yes. The Smile Preview is a free digital preview of your new smile. You see the proposed shape and shade before any work is scheduled, and you can take the image home to think it over.
