Aria Dental Implant Center has now been open for six years, remaining one of the few independent, locally owned implant dentistry practices in Phoenix. Patients know exactly who is responsible for their care and who to turn to with questions.
Dr. Joe Mehranfar leads the clinical team. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry and has placed 20,000 dental implants, guiding 3,000 full-mouth implant patients through complex treatment. Alongside his clinical work, Dr. Mehranfar has trained over 1,000 U.S. licensed dentists, shaping Aria's reputation for technical skill and patient education. According to a recent press release, Aria marked its sixth anniversary in September 2026, confirming its 2020 founding and ongoing independent ownership.
Aria Dental Implant Center offers complimentary consultations and 3D CT scans to help patients evaluate their dental implant options before committing to treatment.
"A patient considering full-mouth dental implants is making a decision that affects everyday life," Dr. Mehranfar says. "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."
Aria's setup brings together implant surgery, restorative dentistry, and a fully equipped in-house digital lab. This allows for digital scans, smile design, implant planning, and prosthetic adjustments to happen under one roof. For qualifying cases, patients can receive fixed provisional teeth on the day of surgery and a final custom zirconia restoration in as little as 21 days, provided they meet clinical requirements and follow postoperative instructions.
Unlike corporate chains or franchises, Aria is owned and operated by its founders, Dr. Mehranfar and Scott Lauer, who are directly involved in daily operations. As noted in the official anniversary announcement, both founders remain hands-on, reinforcing the practice's independent status and direct accountability to patients.
The Arizona Corporation Commission maintains the official business registry for the state, allowing the public to verify the ownership and active status of companies like Aria Dental Implant Center. This registry is the most authoritative route for confirming business legitimacy and registered agents in Arizona.
Aria's clinical and lab teams work together to deliver full-arch dental implant solutions, including All-on-4® and other options tailored to each patient's needs. The workflow supports rapid provisionalization, but actual timelines depend on clinical complexity, healing, and implant stability-not marketing claims.
Dr. Mehranfar is also active in professional education and nonprofit work. As co-founder of Implant Education Company and clinical director of Dental Hearts, he connects advanced implant training with community service, reflecting Aria's focus on both clinical quality and social responsibility.
For those considering dental implants in Phoenix, Aria offers complimentary consultations and 3D CT scans to help patients review their options. More information is available at www.ariadentalimplantcenter.com or by calling 602-877-0429.
Aria Dental Implant Center's sixth anniversary highlights the value of independent ownership, clinical leadership, and a patient-first approach in a field where corporate groups are becoming more common. Practices like Aria show that when expertise, accountability, and local roots come together, patients receive advanced treatment and real care.
