Convenient Access from Leisure World
Two roads and a single turn separate the Leisure World gate from Smile Haus Dental Studio, and the drive usually takes about 15 minutes. Residents who want a dentist near Leisure World for dentures, implants, gum care or a crown that has seen better days can get that care at our Mesa office on McKellips Rd. Our dentists take time to explain options in plain terms, with no rush to decide.
Pull out of the main entrance at 908 S Power Rd and head north on Power Rd. Stay on Power Rd across Main St and University Dr, then turn west on McKellips Rd and continue to 2727 E McKellips Rd #101, Mesa, AZ 85213, just west of Lindsay Rd. The full trip runs about 8.9 miles. Keep our location on Google Maps handy for a ride or a driver, and see the pages for Superstition Springs and East Mesa if friends live just outside the gates.
A Thoughtful Dental Home for Leisure World Neighbors
Leisure World is a gated community on Power Rd, surrounded by the City of Mesa and sharing its mailing addresses. It sits in Maricopa County, with Superstition Springs Center just to the south near the US 60 Superstition Freeway. Inside the gates, homes range from condominiums to golf-view houses beside the community's two private golf courses.
The Leisure World Community Association describes its residents as retired or soon to be, and security staffs the gate around the clock. Dental care for that stage of life should feel unhurried and well explained.
Smile Haus is open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Tuesday through Thursday, with Monday or Friday visits by appointment only. Residents planning a multi-step treatment can map each visit around that midweek schedule.
Dental Priorities for Leisure World Residents in Retirement
Teeth that have served for decades carry a lot of history. Large old fillings can crack, crowns wear at the edges, and gums slowly recede around roots that were never meant to show. None of that is a crisis on its own, but each change deserves a look before it becomes one.
Gum health is the first thing our dentists check. Periodontal disease can loosen teeth and erode the bone an implant would later need, and it often causes little discomfort until it is advanced. Steady maintenance visits keep it in check, and the Perio membership was built around exactly that schedule.
Replacing missing teeth is the next conversation. Some residents prefer a well-fitted denture, while others want the stability of implants. Both implant surgery and the finished teeth are handled at Smile Haus, from one tooth to a whole arch, so there is no shuttling between a surgeon and a restoring dentist.
Existing crowns and bridges deserve the same attention. A crown edge that has pulled away from the tooth can trap bacteria underneath, and decay there often goes unnoticed until the crown fails. Regular x-rays let our dentists spot that early, when a single replacement crown is still the simplest repair.
Daily medications matter as well. Many prescriptions can dry the mouth, and dry mouth raises the risk of decay along the gumline. Bring a current medication list to your first visit so our dentists can account for it in your plan.
Cleanings matter at every age, and they matter more around crowns, bridges and implants. Heather, our dental hygienist, brings more than ten years of experience to every cleaning. Patients with sensitive roots should mention it at the start of a visit, because exposed roots can feel cold and pressure more sharply than enamel.
Restorative Care from a Dentist Near Leisure World
Dental Implants
Implants replace one tooth or support an entire arch, and both placement and restoration happen here. CBCT planning shows the bone, nerves and sinuses in 3D before treatment begins.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings and crowns rebuild teeth worn down over the years. CEREC® technology lets our team scan a tooth digitally and mill a ceramic crown, inlay or onlay on site.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal treatment and ongoing maintenance address gum infection and protect the bone around teeth and implants. Regular perio visits keep progress from slipping.
Preventative Dentistry
Exams, x-rays and screenings catch decay along the gumline and around older crowns. Prevention also helps dentures keep fitting well as the mouth changes.
Choosing between dentures and implants is rarely a quick decision. Leisure World residents weigh comfort, chewing strength, upkeep and budget, and the right answer differs from one person to the next. Our dentists lay out each option side by side, so you can talk it over with family and come back with questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Smile Haus Dental Studio from Leisure World, and how do I get there?
Expect about 8.9 miles from the Leisure World entrance, typically a 15-minute drive. Head north on Power Rd from 908 S Power Rd, then turn west on McKellips Rd. Residents who need a dentist near Leisure World will find the office just west of Lindsay Rd.
Can my old dentures be replaced with implant-supported teeth?
Often, yes, and an exam with a CBCT scan shows whether enough bone remains. Smile Haus offers single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges and full-arch options, all placed and restored in the same office. If bone has thinned since teeth were lost, grafting may help prepare the area. Your dentist will compare that path with a new conventional denture.
Is there a membership plan that covers gum maintenance visits?
Yes, the Perio plan costs $61 a month or $732 a year for patients 14 and older. Members get three perio maintenance visits a year, plus two exams with screenings, routine x-rays and an emergency exam. Other procedures cost 20% less, and the plan has no deductible, waiting period or annual maximum.
What can be done about receding gums and sensitive roots?
The first step is an exam that measures gum health, because periodontal disease is a common driver of recession. Periodontal treatment addresses that infection, and regular maintenance visits help keep the gums stable. Exposed roots can be more prone to decay, so our dentists also watch those surfaces closely at each visit.
Do I still need dental checkups if I wear full dentures?
Yes, because the gums, tongue and cheeks still need an exam even with no natural teeth. Checkups also show whether a denture has started to loosen as the jawbone changes, which can cause sore spots. Our dentists can replace a denture that no longer fits or talk through implant support.
