About Arizona Institute for Periodontics and Dental Implants

Arizona Institute for Periodontics and Dental Implants provides dental care on West Camino Del Sol in the Sun City West Commercial Core area of Sun City West, Arizona. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

What is gum recession and can it be treated?
Recession is when gum tissue pulls back and exposes more of the tooth root, often from aggressive brushing, gum disease, or grinding. Grafting procedures can cover exposed roots, though how well that works depends on the extent of the recession.
When should I see a periodontist instead of a general dentist?
Usually on referral, when gum disease has advanced beyond what routine treatment is resolving — deep pockets, ongoing bone loss, or gum recession needing surgical management.
What happens during a routine dental examination?
The dentist checks the teeth for decay, examines the gums, looks at any existing fillings and crowns, and screens the soft tissues. X-rays are taken when there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth.

Dr. Davis and his staff put my complete 4 on 4 top and bottom implants in 11 years ago. I was in and out of the procedure in one day. I had very little pain and took only Tylenol for a few days. I am still a patient with them for cleaning and check ups. The staff has not changed in all the time I have been going to Dr. Davis, which I feel that it makes my care much better because they have seen the progression for 11 years. If you are thinking about transplants, call them for a consultation. Go in to their office and have a sit down talk with them and see why I am recommending them. I know you will be very pleased with the final results as I am. Don Pratte

I love Dr. Davis and his staff! When I first came to Dr. Davis a year ago, I had severe Gingivitus. I had been to several dentists for cleanings and exams over 20 years, and they all said I had " advanced gum disease." After brushing with my sonicare, flossing daily, and cleanings every 3 months, this condition of sore , red and bleeding gums never went away entirely. During my first exam with Dr. Davis he quickly identified the problem as Gingivitis and told me that this condition was reversible and we could do this together within a month. Low and behold, he was right! With his guidance and his staff's care my gums were no longer bleeding and went from very unhealthy to healthy by my next cleaning! For the first time in over 20 years I had an A+ on my brushing and flossing! I am so grateful to Dr. Davis and Julie, his fabulous hygienist, as well as the rest of his team for the genuine care and kindness they bring to their patients. Don't let your gums get you down. Go see Dr. Davis and turn things around!

I see Dr Leslie Davis every six months for periodontal care and have been for many years. Dr Davis and his staff are extremely knowledgeable, thorough and current in periodontics but also oral surgery. They are all so very kind, patient and understanding. I highly recommend Dr Leslie Davis and staff to anyone looking for a modern, up to date periodontal and/or oral surgeon practice located right in beautiful Sun City West, Arizona.

Dr. Davis has been my periodontist for 20+ years and he is fantastic, skilled and personable. He keeps his staff happy too, apparently, because they’ve all been there for years. Jana, Lisa, and Shelley are the ones I know best. Friendly, welcoming staff.
