Dental Implants Periodontist
Near The Islands, AZ
 The Islands community in Gilbert offers a distinctive lakeside lifestyle, and residents who take pride in their surroundings should feel equally confident about the specialist caring for their smile. Scholes Periodontics & Implants provides expert dental implant placement and periodontal treatment from our Chandler office at 595 N Dobson Rd B#34, Chandler, AZ 85224 — a quick drive west from The Islands neighborhood. Our periodontist has placed over 15,000 dental implants since 1992, offering The Islands patients a level of focused surgical experience that sets our practice apart.
Missing teeth and gum disease can diminish the active, social lifestyle that draws people to communities like The Islands. Whether you are dealing with a single missing tooth that makes you self-conscious at neighborhood gatherings, or you have been struggling with ill-fitting dentures that limit what you eat and how you speak, our periodontal team has the expertise and technology to help you reclaim your confidence.
Our practice is devoted entirely to periodontics and implant surgery. We do not provide general cleanings or fillings — instead, every resource in our office is channeled toward the specialized procedures that restore and protect the structures supporting your teeth. For The Islands residents considering a consultation, that singular focus translates into deeper expertise and more refined outcomes.
Implant Solutions and Periodontal Care for The Islands Community
Our practice provides the complete range of implant and periodontal services, tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The Islands residents have access to both straightforward and complex treatment options, all performed by a periodontist with decades of hands-on experience.
 Single tooth replacement through a dental implant is the most natural and durable way to fill a gap left by a missing tooth. The procedure places a titanium post into the jawbone, where it integrates permanently through a biological process called osseointegration. A porcelain crown is then crafted to match the shape, color, and contour of your surrounding teeth. For The Islands patients, the finished result is virtually undetectable — no one will know it is not your natural tooth.
Full-arch rehabilitation through our Same-Day Smile procedure gives The Islands patients an opportunity to replace an entire arch of missing teeth in as little as one appointment. Using the All-on-4 treatment concept, our periodontist places four implants at strategic angles to support a complete set of fixed, non-removable teeth. This technique was the subject of our periodontist’s clinical residency training in Lisbon, Portugal, and has since been performed extensively at our Chandler office.
Protecting what you have is just as important as replacing what you have lost. Our gum disease treatments span the full spectrum of severity, from early intervention with scaling and root planing to advanced osseous surgery for bone loss around the teeth. We also provide laser gum treatment as a minimally invasive option for managing periodontal infection, and gum grafting to address tissue recession that exposes vulnerable tooth roots.
When preparation is needed before implant placement, our bone grafting and ridge augmentation procedures rebuild the jawbone structure that is essential for implant stability. The Islands patients who have been told they lack sufficient bone for implants often discover that these preparatory procedures can change the equation entirely.
Why The Islands Patients Trust Our Periodontal Specialist
A periodontist who has placed over 15,000 implants brings something that no amount of reading or continuing education can replicate — the intuitive clinical judgment that comes from years of hands-on surgical experience. For The Islands residents, that translates into a provider who can navigate complex anatomy, adapt to unexpected findings during surgery, and consistently deliver results that meet the highest standards.
 Technology amplifies that experience. Our CBCT scanner produces three-dimensional images of your entire jaw, giving our periodontist the ability to see bone thickness, nerve locations, and sinus proximity in vivid detail. This imaging is used to plan every implant with millimeter precision, and for The Islands patients, it means a surgical experience that is faster, more accurate, and more predictable.
Our practice culture is built around respect for the patient. We listen carefully, explain thoroughly, and never pressure anyone into a treatment decision. The Islands residents who visit us consistently describe the experience as refreshingly personal — a feeling that begins the moment you are greeted at the front desk and continues through every interaction with our clinical team.
We also offer a membership plan for patients who do not have dental insurance, because quality periodontal care should be accessible regardless of coverage status. The Islands residents are encouraged to ask about this option when they call to schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you treat patients from The Islands community in Gilbert?
Yes. We welcome patients from The Islands and throughout the Gilbert area. Our Chandler office is approximately fifteen minutes west of The Islands, making it a convenient choice for residents seeking specialized periodontal and implant care.
What is ridge augmentation?
Ridge augmentation is a bone rebuilding procedure used to restore the natural contour of the jawbone after tooth loss. When the ridge of bone that once supported teeth has deteriorated, this procedure adds bone graft material to rebuild it, creating a stable foundation for dental implant placement.
Is laser gum treatment effective for periodontal disease?
Laser gum treatment is an effective option for many patients with periodontal disease. It uses focused light energy to target infected tissue and bacteria with less discomfort and often faster healing than traditional methods. Our periodontist will determine if laser treatment is the right approach for your specific condition.
How do I care for dental implants after they are placed?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth — daily brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings. We also recommend ongoing periodontal maintenance visits to monitor the health of the gums and bone around your implants. With proper care, implants can last for decades.
What are the benefits of seeing a periodontist for gum disease?
Periodontists undergo additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on the gums and supporting bone. This expertise allows them to offer advanced treatment options — including surgical interventions and regenerative procedures — that go beyond what a general dental practice provides.
