Dental Implants Periodontist
Near Ocotillo, AZ
 Ocotillo residents enjoy one of Chandler’s most scenic and well-appointed communities, and that same standard of excellence should extend to the specialists who care for their oral health. Scholes Periodontics & Implants provides expert dental implant placement and comprehensive periodontal treatment from our office at 595 N Dobson Rd B#34, Chandler, AZ 85224 — a convenient drive north from the Ocotillo area. Our periodontist has placed over 15,000 dental implants since 1992, and we bring that depth of experience to every Ocotillo patient who walks through our doors.
Living in Ocotillo means you have high expectations, and rightfully so. When it comes to something as important as replacing missing teeth or treating gum disease, you want a specialist whose entire career has been devoted to these procedures. Our practice is exclusively periodontal, which means we do not offer general dentistry — we channel all of our training, technology, and daily focus into the two areas where we can make the greatest impact: implant surgery and periodontal care.
Whether you are exploring implant candidacy for the first time or have been managing gum disease and want a specialist’s perspective, we encourage Ocotillo residents to schedule a consultation at our Chandler office. Our team will take the time to listen, evaluate, and present every option available to you.
Implant and Periodontal Expertise for the Ocotillo Community
Our practice covers every stage of the dental implant process, from initial assessment through final restoration and ongoing maintenance. Ocotillo patients have access to a complete implant journey under one roof, guided by a periodontist whose experience spans more than three decades.
 A single missing tooth can affect far more than your appearance. It can shift neighboring teeth, lead to bone loss in the jaw, and change the way you bite and chew. A single tooth implant addresses all of these concerns by replacing both the root and the crown of the missing tooth. The titanium post integrates with your jawbone to create a permanent foundation, and the custom crown is designed to match the shape, shade, and contour of your natural teeth. For Ocotillo patients, this means a restoration that is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
Patients who need to replace an entire arch of teeth will find that our Same-Day Smile procedure is among the most advanced options available. Using the All-on-4 treatment concept, our periodontist places four strategically angled implants per arch to support a full set of fixed, non-removable teeth — frequently completed in a single visit. Our periodontist trained specifically on this technique through a clinical residency in Lisbon, Portugal, and the results speak for themselves. For Ocotillo residents who currently rely on traditional dentures, this can be a transformative upgrade.
Supporting procedures are often the key to unlocking implant treatment for patients who have been told they are not candidates. Our bone grafting services rebuild jawbone that has deteriorated due to tooth loss or prolonged denture wear. Socket preservation protects the bone immediately after a tooth extraction, and sinus augmentation creates the additional vertical bone height needed for successful implant placement in the upper jaw.
Our periodontal services address gum disease comprehensively. We offer scaling and root planing for early-to-moderate cases, osseous surgery when bone loss is present, and cosmetic periodontal surgery to refine the appearance of the gumline after treatment. Ocotillo patients who value both the health and the aesthetics of their smile will appreciate this full-service approach.
Why Ocotillo Patients Choose a Dedicated Periodontal Specialist
The decision to have dental implants placed by a periodontist rather than a general dentist is one that pays dividends for years to come. Periodontists complete additional years of residency training focused specifically on the gums, jawbone, and supporting structures of the teeth — the very tissues that determine whether an implant succeeds or fails over the long term. Our periodontist’s career of over 15,000 implant placements adds a layer of hands-on refinement that Ocotillo patients can trust.
 Precision planning is central to our approach. Our CBCT scanner creates detailed three-dimensional images of your jaw structure, nerve pathways, and sinuses, allowing our periodontist to map out the exact placement angle, depth, and position of each implant before surgery begins. For Ocotillo patients, this technology means fewer complications, shorter surgical sessions, and outcomes that meet the highest clinical standards.
The patient experience at our office is something we take seriously. Our team understands that Ocotillo residents lead active, busy lives, and we respect your time by running an efficient schedule while never sacrificing the personal attention you deserve. From the moment you arrive, you will find a practice that is organized, welcoming, and genuinely interested in your well-being.
We also provide a membership plan for patients without dental insurance. Specialty periodontal care is an investment in your health and quality of life, and we believe every Ocotillo resident should have a clear, affordable path to the treatment they need.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is your office from the Ocotillo area?
Our office at 595 N Dobson Rd B#34, Chandler, AZ 85224 is approximately ten to fifteen minutes north of the Ocotillo community. Dobson Road and the Loop 202 provide direct access to our location.
What is socket preservation and why is it important?
Socket preservation is a procedure performed at the time of a tooth extraction to maintain the bone volume in the empty socket. Without it, the jawbone in that area can resorb quickly, potentially making future implant placement more difficult or requiring additional bone grafting.
Can I have cosmetic gum surgery at the same time as implant treatment?
In some cases, cosmetic periodontal surgery can be coordinated with implant treatment to achieve the best possible aesthetic result. Our periodontist will evaluate your situation and recommend a treatment sequence that addresses both your health needs and your cosmetic goals.
How many implants are needed for a full set of teeth?
With the All-on-4 technique, a full arch of teeth can be supported by as few as four implants. Some patients may benefit from additional implants depending on their bone structure and clinical needs. Our periodontist will determine the ideal number during your evaluation.
What happens during a periodontal consultation?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive examination, digital imaging including our CBCT scan when indicated, and a detailed discussion with our periodontist about your oral health, goals, and treatment options. We encourage Ocotillo patients to bring any records or X-rays from their general dentist to help streamline the process.
