Dental Implants in Los Angeles

Medically reviewed by Dr. Bijan Afar, DDS, MS — Periodontist & Oral Implantologist

Dental implants are the closest thing to a real tooth, they look, feel, and function like the tooth you lost. And unlike bridges or dentures, they preserve the bone in your jaw.

We handle the full process in-house: surgical placement, custom crown, and follow-up. One coordinated team, one consistent result.

Missing Teeth Evaluation

If you are missing one or more teeth, an evaluation is the best first step. We examine your gums, check how much bone you have with digital imaging, look at your bite and neighboring teeth, and review your health history. From that we can explain whether implants, a bridge, or dentures make sense for you.

Bone and gum health play a major role in implant success. Because Dr. Afar is a periodontist, these are a core part of how we plan treatment, including bone grafting when it is needed.

One missing tooth: a single implant with a crown, or a bridge
Several missing teeth: implant-supported bridges, partial dentures, or implants placed strategically
All teeth missing: implant-supported dentures, All-on-4 full-arch implants, or conventional dentures

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most adults with a missing tooth (or several) are candidates. What matters most is bone health at the implant site. During your consult we take a 3D CBCT scan; if there isn't enough bone, we can grow it back with a graft before placement — all done in-house.

How long does the full implant process take?

For a single tooth, plan on 3–6 months from placement to final crown. The healing phase (osseointegration, when the implant fuses to the jawbone) is 3–4 months on its own. Some patients qualify for immediate load implants that get a temporary tooth the same day.

How much do dental implants cost in Los Angeles?

A single-tooth implant with the abutment and crown typically runs $3,500–$6,000 in Los Angeles depending on grafting needs. We provide a written quote after your CBCT scan and accept most PPO insurance plus CareCredit financing.

How long do implants last?

Well-placed implants have a 95%+ 10-year success rate and often last 25+ years — many patients keep them for life. The implant itself (titanium post) rarely fails; the crown on top may need replacement after 15–20 years of use.

Are dental implants painful?

Placement is done with local anesthetic (and sedation if you'd like it), so the surgery itself is comfortable. Most patients report only mild soreness for 2–3 days afterward, well controlled with ibuprofen. It's far less recovery than most people expect.
