Dental Implants with Dr. Kashfian – Serving Beverly Hills and West Hills

If you’re considering dental implants, Dr. Kashfian can help you determine the most suitable option for your unique oral health needs.

Understanding Dental Implants

The most common type of implant is the endosteal implant, which is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. These implants can support a single crown, a bridge, or even a full denture. However, patients with significant bone loss may not be ideal candidates for this type. In such cases, subperiosteal implants may be recommended. These sit on top of the jawbone and are held in place by a custom metal framework beneath the gum tissue.

Personalized Care and Evaluation

With decades of experience, Dr. Kashfian performs a thorough dental examination to determine your eligibility for implants. The ideal candidate should be in good general and oral health, with healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implant. If you are healthy enough for routine dental procedures, you are likely a good candidate for dental implants. For patients who smoke, Dr. Kashfian may recommend quitting prior to treatment to promote better healing and long-term success.

A Natural Look and Feel

Dental implants offer a highly successful, long-term solution for missing teeth. After placement, the implant site is given time to heal—typically between three and six months—allowing the jawbone to fuse securely to the implant in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for your new tooth or teeth. Once restored, your dental implants will look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth, allowing you to speak, eat, and care for them with ease.
