Dental Implants Periodontist
Near Higley, AZ
 Higley has grown rapidly into one of the most sought-after family neighborhoods in the southeast Valley, and residents here now have convenient access to a dental implant periodontist with decades of specialized experience. Scholes Periodontics & Implants provides expert dental implant placement and comprehensive periodontal care from our office at 595 N Dobson Rd B#34, Chandler, AZ 85224. Our periodontist has placed over 15,000 dental implants since 1992, giving Higley families a specialist they can rely on for safe, precise, and lasting results.
Many Higley residents relocated to the area for its excellent schools, open spaces, and growing infrastructure. The same forward-thinking approach that led them to choose Higley should also guide their decisions about oral health. A missing tooth left unaddressed will gradually cause the surrounding bone to deteriorate and neighboring teeth to shift. Untreated gum disease quietly destroys the structures that keep teeth stable. Our practice helps Higley patients intervene early and effectively, before small problems become costly, complex ones.
Our office is devoted entirely to periodontics and implant surgery, which means Higley patients are cared for by a specialist team that performs these procedures every day. We invite you to schedule a consultation to learn how our expertise can benefit your oral health.
Dental Implant and Gum Disease Care for the Higley Community
 Our practice provides every service a Higley patient could need to replace missing teeth or manage periodontal disease — all under one roof, guided by a periodontist with more than thirty years of focused experience.
A single tooth implant replaces a missing tooth with a permanent titanium post anchored in the jawbone, topped by a custom crown that blends naturally with your existing teeth. Unlike a dental bridge, a single implant does not require alteration of adjacent teeth and actively preserves the bone in the area of the missing tooth. Higley patients who have been considering their replacement options will find that a dental implant provides the most natural, long-lasting result.
For Higley residents who are missing most or all of their teeth, our Same-Day Smile procedure delivers dramatic results. Using the All-on-4 treatment concept, our periodontist places four implants per arch to support a complete set of fixed, non-removable teeth — frequently completed in a single visit. Our periodontist completed clinical residency training on this procedure in Lisbon, Portugal, and has performed it extensively since. Implant-supported dentures offer an alternative for patients who prefer a secure, snap-in solution that can be removed for cleaning.
Protecting your natural teeth through periodontal treatment is the other half of our practice. We provide scaling and root planing for non-surgical management of gum disease, laser gum treatment as a minimally invasive option for reducing bacterial infection, and osseous surgery when bone loss around the teeth requires surgical correction. For Higley patients experiencing receding gums, our gum grafting procedure covers exposed roots, protects against decay, and restores a healthier gumline.
Our supporting services include bone grafting to rebuild deteriorated jawbone, sinus augmentation when the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone height for implants, and tooth extractions when a tooth cannot be saved. Each of these procedures can be coordinated with implant treatment so Higley patients move through the entire process efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Why Higley Families Trust Our Periodontal Team
Experience matters profoundly in implant dentistry, and our periodontist’s career of over 15,000 implant placements represents one of the most extensive records in the region. That history of hands-on work means Higley patients benefit from a provider who has navigated complex bone anatomy, managed challenging healing scenarios, and refined surgical technique across every case type imaginable.
Our CBCT imaging technology supports that experience with three-dimensional diagnostic detail. The scanner produces complete volumetric images of your jawbone, nerves, and sinus cavities, allowing our periodontist to plan every implant’s exact position before surgery. For Higley patients, this means more accurate placement, shorter procedures, and outcomes that meet the highest clinical standards.
 Our patient care philosophy is grounded in education and transparency. We walk every Higley patient through their examination findings, explain each treatment option in straightforward language, and answer every question before moving forward. Our patient testimonials reflect the trust and confidence our team inspires, and we encourage Higley families to read them before their first visit.
We also provide a membership plan for patients who do not carry dental insurance. Specialty periodontal care is an essential health investment, and our team is committed to making it accessible for Higley residents regardless of their coverage situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you see patients from the Higley area?
Yes. We regularly see patients from Higley and the surrounding southeast Valley. Our Chandler office is approximately fifteen to twenty minutes west of the Higley community, and multiple routes provide convenient access.
What is laser gum treatment and is it right for me?
Laser gum treatment uses concentrated light energy to remove diseased tissue and eliminate bacteria from periodontal pockets. It is less invasive than traditional surgery and typically involves faster healing. Our periodontist will evaluate your gum condition and recommend laser treatment if it is appropriate for your specific stage of disease.
How does gum grafting work?
Gum grafting uses tissue — often taken from the roof of your mouth or from a donor source — to cover exposed tooth roots where the gums have receded. The graft integrates with your existing tissue and restores a protective barrier around the root, reducing sensitivity and preventing further recession or root decay.
Can dental implants fail?
Dental implants have a very high success rate, but complications can occasionally occur. Risk factors include smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and poor oral hygiene. Our periodontist’s extensive experience and precise CBCT-guided planning help minimize these risks. If an issue does arise, we offer dental implant repair services to address it.
What should I do if my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are one of the earliest and most common signs of gum disease. While it may seem minor, consistent bleeding during brushing or flossing indicates inflammation that should be evaluated by a dental professional. We recommend scheduling a periodontal consultation so our team can assess your gum health and recommend the appropriate course of action.
