About Dr. Bradley Porter, DDS

Dr. Bradley Porter, DDS provides dental care on East Brown Road in Mesa, 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.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

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.

Can a periodontist save a loose tooth?
Sometimes. If the looseness comes from bone loss around the tooth, deep cleaning and periodontal treatment can stabilise it, though the outcome depends on how much support has already been lost.
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.
What causes bad breath and can a dentist help?
Persistent bad breath most often comes from bacteria on the tongue and around the gumline, and gum disease is a frequent underlying cause. Because it is usually oral in origin, a dental examination is a sensible first step.

Very efficiently run office and staff is friendly. Referred by my dentist to have a tooth pulled, and Dr. Porter pulled the tooth and placed stitches. No issues, and it’s healing great! Improvements to the office would be to be able to fill out paperwork in advance on a phone. Could be done by tablet or computer, but not phone. A minor inconvenience for me, but in no way affects the quality of care given. Would recommend Dr. Porter and AZ Max.

Connie help me out so much she was a godly blessing to me. It was a pleasure meeting with Dr. Porter he was so professional and knowledgeable . I had a tooth pulled with no pain and no pain with the shots on my mouth. I will truly refer him to all my family members and friends. He is truly the best I ever had. And everyone was so nice and friendly. I told my wife that I would love to bring our business to Az Max. Thanks for a wonderful experience to Dr. Porter and all the other workers.

Dr. Porter - My experience with you and your staff was nothing less than awesome! You folks were wonderful. Your work was quick and efficient. Your support staff was wonderful. Many thanks to Kayla, and the young lady that set the IV. - they were truly magnificent. The operation was a success and is mostly healed now. Again, many thanks for a truly wonderful experience!!

Dr. Porter is exceptional, and I highly recommend his services. He successfully corrected my open bite using two bone plates in conjunction with braces. The procedure, which I initially feared, was virtually painless. Additionally, Marilyn, Dr. Porter’s assistant, was incredibly kind and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the process.
