Implant Dentistry Beverly Hills

A Strong Foundation for Restored Teeth

Beverly Hills Implant Dentistry with Dr. Borzoo Ahmadi, DDS

Losing a tooth can make eating difficult and cause removable replacements to move around. Implant dentistry offers Beverly Hills patients a secure way to replace missing teeth, starting from the root.

Dr. Borzoo Ahmadi plans your treatment with the final result in mind. Before placing an implant, he decides where the new tooth should go and how it will work. The goal is for your new tooth to feel secure and be easy to care for.

Our West Hollywood office serves patients from Beverly Hills, CA, and Los Angeles. We start every treatment plan by checking if implant dentistry is right for your dental health.

People looking into dental implants in Beverly Hills usually want their new teeth to look natural and keep their mouth healthy in the long run. A good treatment plan should focus on both from the start.

What is
Implant Dentistry?

Implant dentistry is the full process of using dental implants to replace missing teeth. The implant works like an artificial tooth root in your jawbone. Once it is stable, it holds a custom-made tooth that looks and feels natural. Regular checkups help keep your mouth healthy for years to come.

Implant dentistry involves more than just surgery. It also includes designing and maintaining your new tooth. Dr. Borzoo may work with a surgical specialist and a dental lab to make sure you get the best results.

When Is
Implant Dentistry Used?

Dental implants can replace a single tooth without needing to use nearby healthy teeth for support, unlike traditional bridges. If you have several missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge or a full-arch restoration may be an option.

Implant treatment may also be an option if your current teeth cannot be saved. We always evaluate your situation before recommending any extractions.

How Does a Dental Implant Work?

Most dental implants use a titanium post that is safe for your body. In some cases, zirconia implants may be used instead. The choice depends on your needs and where the implant will go. Over time, your bone grows around the implant in a process called osseointegration.

Once the implant has bonded with your bone, a connector piece called an abutment is added. This connects the implant to your new tooth, which is a dental crown that looks and works like a real tooth.

Which Implant Restoration Is Right for Me?

A single implant crown stands on its own and is easy to clean every day. An implant-supported bridge can replace several teeth using fewer implants than the number of teeth being replaced.

If you have lost many teeth, implants can support an overdenture or a fixed full-arch set of teeth. The amount of bone you have helps decide which option will work best for you.

Implant crowns can be attached with a screw or with dental cement. Screw-retained crowns are easier to remove for repairs, while cement may be better if the angle of the implant makes access tricky. Dr. Borzoo will choose the best option for your needs.

What Are the Benefits of Implant Dentistry?

For suitable candidates, implant-supported teeth can provide:

Implants cannot fix all bone loss or cure gum disease. Taking care of your implants and seeing your dentist regularly is important for long-term success.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Implant Dentistry?

Most adults can get dental implants if they are healthy enough to heal well. Your age is less important than your overall health. We make sure your teeth and gums are healthy first, and sometimes a bone graft is needed to prepare the area.

If you have untreated gum disease, the risk of infection is higher. Smoking can slow down healing, and diabetes that is not well managed can make treatment less predictable. We review your medical history to spot any other issues.

Implants may not be the best choice if you cannot care for them or come in for follow-up visits. Dr. Borzoo will talk with you about safer options if needed.

How Is
Implant Treatment Planned?

We start planning with an exam and 3D imaging, which lets us see your bone and nearby structures clearly. By designing your new tooth first, we can place the implant in the best spot for a great result.

A surgical guide helps us place the implant exactly where planned. If there is not enough bone, a graft may be needed. For implants in the upper back jaw, a sinus lift might be required.

We offer sedation options, including IV conscious sedation for those who qualify. If you choose this, you will need to fast beforehand and have someone drive you home. Only change your medications with your doctor’s advice.

What Happens During
Implant Dentistry Treatment?

Treatment follows a staged sequence tailored to the site:

  1. Confirm the plan. Dr. Borzoo verifies the digital design and surgical location.
  2. Provide anesthesia. The area is numbed, with appropriate sedation options available.
  3. Prepare the site. A small opening provides bone access. A failing tooth may be removed first.
  4. Complete implant placement. The post is positioned for the planned restoration.
  5. Protect healing. A cover screw or healing cap is attached.
  6. Confirm integration. Follow-up visits determine when the implant is stable enough for restoration.
  7. Complete the tooth. The final crown, bridge, or denture is fitted and bite-checked.

Some patients can receive a temporary tooth in a single visit. Immediate loading requires adequate stability and a controlled bite.

What Does Implant Surgery Feel Like?

The numbing shot may sting for a moment. After that, you will feel pressure or vibration, but not sharp pain. Sedation can help make longer appointments more comfortable.

You may feel sore once the numbness wears off, and swelling can get worse for the first two days. Let us know if your pain gets worse instead of better.

Recovery and Aftercare

On the first day, rest with your head up and use cold packs as we recommend. Do not rinse your mouth forcefully. Avoid smoking, as it can slow down healing.

Eat soft foods and try to chew on the opposite side of your mouth. Follow our cleaning instructions closely. Most people can go back to desk jobs in a few days, but bigger surgeries may need more time off.

Your gums will heal before the bone fully bonds with the implant, which takes several months. Be sure to come to your follow-up visits, and call us if bleeding does not stop or if the implant feels loose.

When Will I See the Final Result?

A temporary restoration may preserve appearance during healing. After integration, Dr. Borzoo checks the laboratory-made dental crown before securing it.

Your new tooth should feel steady when you chew and look natural. Since implants are different from natural teeth, it is important to have them checked by your dentist regularly.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants can last a long time, but they are not guaranteed to last forever. How long they last depends on how well you care for them. The crowns may need to be replaced before the implant itself.

Implants do not get cavities, but the gums and bone around them can still get infected. Regular checkups help catch problems early, and if you grind your teeth, you might need a nightguard.

What Are the Risks of
Implant Dentistry?

Infection can slow down healing. There is also a chance of nerve or sinus problems. Sometimes, the new tooth can chip or come loose. If an implant fails, it may need to be removed before trying again later.

Using 3D planning helps us spot risks, but it cannot prevent every possible issue. During your consultation, we will talk about any concerns related to your health and anatomy.

How Much Does Implant Dentistry
Cost in Beverly Hills?

The cost of implants depends on how many you need and the type of restoration. Bone grafts and more complex lab work can add to the price. Replacing one tooth costs less than rebuilding your whole mouth.

After your exam, we will give you a step-by-step estimate. Insurance coverage varies, and we can talk about payment options before you start treatment.

Implant Dentistry vs. Bridges and Dentures

A traditional bridge does not require implant surgery, but it uses nearby teeth for support. It can be a good choice if those teeth already need crowns. Removable dentures need less surgery but can shift when you eat or talk.

Implants take time to heal, but they help protect nearby teeth and prevent bone loss where they are placed. The best dental solution depends on your mouth and your preferences.

Can Implants Be Combined With Other Procedures?

We may need to improve your overall oral health before placing implants. Once your bite is stable, cosmetic treatments can be done to enhance your smile.

Implant Dentistry Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Receive an Implant Immediately After an Extraction?

Sometimes. Immediate placement requires healthy bone for stability. When the site is unsuitable, grafting and healing provide a better foundation.

Do I Need a Bone Graft?

Not everyone does. Three-dimensional imaging shows whether adequate bone surrounds the planned implant. Grafting may rebuild a deficient ridge.

Can One Implant Replace Several Teeth?

One post does not usually support several teeth. Two or more implants may hold a bridge for multiple missing teeth.

Can Dental Implants Get Infected?

Yes. Bacteria can inflame tissue and cause bone loss. Daily cleaning and professional maintenance protect the implant.

Are Implant Crowns Removable?

Patients do not remove a fixed crown. A dentist can retrieve many screw-retained restorations. Some implant dentures are removable for cleaning.

How Long Does the Implant Process Take?

Treatment commonly lasts several months because bone needs time to integrate. Grafting may extend the timeline. Selected patients qualify for temporary teeth.
