Payson is approximately 1.5 hours from our Show Low office and 1.5–2 hours from our Mesa offices via AZ-87 or US-60. We recommend calling ahead to combine your consultation and any pre-surgical imaging into a single trip.

Does AZ Max accept patients from Payson, AZ without a referral?

No referral is required. Payson, AZ residents can call (480) 830-5866 or book online directly. If your dentist did refer you to us, we’ll coordinate your care with their office and send them a treatment summary after your procedure.

What sedation options are available for Payson, AZ patients?

All AZ Max offices offer multiple levels of sedation and anesthesia, including oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia — administered by your surgeon. This is especially valuable for longer procedures like All-on-4® or wisdom tooth removal.

Can I get dental implants if I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone?

Possibly yes. Our surgeons specialize in advanced cases, including patients who were previously told implants weren’t an option. Bone grafting and ridge augmentation can often restore the foundation needed for implant placement.
