About Greater Phoenix Periodontics & Implants

Greater Phoenix Periodontics & Implants provides dental care on West Southern Avenue in Mesa, Arizona. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. Bleeding gums are usually the earliest sign, and the early stage is reversible with proper cleaning and better daily plaque control.

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.

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.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

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.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?
It comes down to having enough healthy bone to hold the implant and gums free of active disease. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes both affect healing. An examination with imaging is what actually answers it.
Can gum disease make you lose teeth?
Yes — advanced gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It destroys the bone and fibres holding teeth in place, which is why teeth eventually loosen, and it usually progresses without pain.
Why do my gums bleed even though I brush twice a day?
Bleeding usually reflects where you are cleaning rather than how often. Plaque left along the gumline and between teeth causes inflammation there, which is exactly the area brushing alone tends to miss, so flossing or interdental brushes matter.

The doctor and his staff did an outstanding job. I came in to have a post put in my jaw. Can’t say I looked forward to the procedure but it was fast and painless, with minimal swelling or pain once the anesthesia wore off.

This place is amazing! I have extreme dental anxiety and they never shame me about. They make me feel very comfortable and they are quick and persistent. The front desk ladies Sarah and Deb are always so sweet and not annoyed that I call a million times to ask questions and they make the check in so seamless. Dr. Cravatta helps calm my nerves, is very quick and is very helpful. Erika who helped me recover was also very attentive when I had to go to the bathroom. John the anesthesiologist was quick and helped me through my procedure. I appreciate everyone's thoughtful and help through this process. Would highly recommend!

I saw Dr. Chad Cravatta for a tooth extraction, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I felt completely comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Dr. Cravatta truly has angel hands and is an extremely experienced and caring doctor. His staff is also knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful. I’m very grateful for the excellent care I received and highly recommend Dr. Cravatta and his team.♥️

Dr. Cravatta is my most trusted dental specialist. I have reached out to him for his opinion on other dentists recommendations, and have happily followed his advice each time, with great results. He is highly educated and highly proficient at dental implants and all that goes with them. He has raised bone in my upper jaw (who knew that was a thing?!), grafted bone, and succeeded in getting a bottom molar numb on the first try (no other dentist has achieved this gold metal worthy feat!). His staff is proficient and kind as well. Five stars!
