PHOENIX, AZ — September 16, 2026 — Aria Dental Implant Center is celebrating its sixth year in business, marking a milestone for the locally owned Phoenix practice founded by Dr. Joe Mehranfar and Scott Lauer. The center brings together implant surgery, restorative dentistry and an in-house digital laboratory to help patients seeking solutions for missing teeth, failing dental work and loose dentures.
The anniversary highlights the experience behind Aria’s approach to full-mouth dental implants. Across his career, Dr. Joe Mehranfar has helped 3,000 full-mouth implant patients and placed 20,000 dental implants. Known to patients as “Dr. Joe,” he combines clinical practice with teaching dentists about implant surgery and digital treatment workflows.
“A patient considering full-mouth dental implants is making a decision that affects everyday life. Our responsibility is to understand that person’s goals, explain the options clearly and bring the surgical and restorative details together in a plan designed for them.”
— Dr. Joe Mehranfar, DMD, co-founder of Aria Dental Implant CenterExperienced clinical leadership with local roots
Dr. Mehranfar is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry whose experience includes helping 3,000 full-mouth implant patients and placing 20,000 dental implants. He has also mentored more than 1,000 U.S. licensed dentists in dental implant surgery.
He is a co-founder of Implant Education Company, which provides hands-on surgical training for dentists, and clinical director of Dental Hearts, a nonprofit dental implant center. His work connects full-arch patient care, professional education and service to the community.
Coordinated dental implant care in Phoenix
Full-arch dental implant treatment replaces an entire upper or lower arch of missing or failing teeth with fixed replacement teeth supported by dental implants. Aria offers All-on-4® and other implant configurations based on each patient’s anatomy, oral health and treatment needs.
Aria is locally and independently owned by Dr. Joe Mehranfar and Scott Lauer, who remain directly involved in the center. It is not part of a corporate chain or franchise. Patients know who owns the practice and who is accountable for its care. Aria’s clinical and in-house laboratory teams work together on digital scans, smile design, implant planning and prosthetic adjustments.
For qualifying patients, this approach supports fixed provisional teeth on the day of implant surgery and a final custom zirconia restoration in as little as 21 days. Provisional teeth are temporary restorations used during the treatment process. Candidacy, healing, implant stability and treatment complexity determine the appropriate timeline; patients must follow postoperative care and dietary instructions.
“When Joe and I started Aria, we wanted patients to know who was responsible for their care and feel comfortable asking questions. Celebrating six years is an opportunity to thank the patients who have trusted us and the team that makes that personal approach possible.”
