Dental Implants in Beverly Hills, CA
At Confidental Beverly Hills, dental implant care is the area where we have invested the most clinical depth, the most technology, and the most time over our 15 years of practice. Led by Dr. Liyan Massaband, DMD MPH, our Beverly Hills implant practice has completed over 1,000 successful implant procedures across every level of complexity, from single tooth replacement to full mouth reconstruction, from immediate same-day implant placement to the complex revision of failed implants placed elsewhere.
If you are missing a tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, if you have an existing implant that is failing, or if you have been told you do not have enough bone for implants, a consultation at Confidental Beverly Hills is the most productive next step you can take. We provide an honest, direct assessment of what is possible for your specific situation and a clear plan to get you there.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once the post integrates with the living bone through a process called osseointegration, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached on top to restore the visible, functional portion of the missing tooth. The result is a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth, with no removable parts, no adhesive, and no impact on neighboring teeth.
Unlike a dental bridge, which relies on adjacent healthy teeth for support, an implant is self-contained. It preserves the jawbone by providing the stimulation that natural tooth roots provide, preventing the bone loss and facial changes that occur when teeth are missing and left unreplaced. Unlike dentures, which sit on the gums and can shift, an implant-supported restoration is anchored directly into bone, providing stability that patients consistently describe as indistinguishable from their natural teeth.
Types of Dental Implants Available in Beverly Hills
Not all implant cases are the same. Confidental Beverly Hills offers the full range of implant treatment options to address every clinical scenario, from a single missing tooth to a complete arch reconstruction to complex revision cases.
Dental Implants vs Bridges vs Dentures
Understanding how implants compare to other tooth replacement options helps you make a genuinely informed decision rather than just accepting the first recommendation you receive. Here is an honest side-by-side.
| Factor | Dental Implants | Dental Bridge | Dentures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preserves Jawbone | Yes. Stimulates bone like a natural root | No. Bone continues to resorb beneath the gap | No. Bone loss accelerates over time |
| Adjacent Teeth Affected | None. Completely self-contained | Yes. Healthy teeth are ground down for anchors | Minimal, unless partial denture uses clasps |
| Stability | Anchored in bone. Feels like a natural tooth | Fixed. Does not shift | Removable. Can shift during use |
| Lifespan | Implant post: lifetime. Crown: 15 to 25 years | 10 to 15 years before likely replacement | 5 to 10 years before relining or replacement |
| Cleaning | Brush and floss normally | Requires flossing under the bridge | Remove for daily cleaning |
| Long-Term Value | Highest. Rarely replaced. Prevents future bone loss costs | Good, but replacement cycles add up | Lower. Ongoing maintenance and replacement needed |
Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults in reasonable health who are missing one or more teeth can qualify for implants. Age is rarely a limiting factor. The most important variables are bone volume, gum health, and overall systemic health. Here is what matters most.
Bone volume: The jawbone needs sufficient volume and density to anchor the implant post. Patients who have been missing teeth for years sometimes experience bone resorption that must be addressed with bone grafting before implant placement. A 3D CBCT scan at your consultation confirms your bone situation precisely.
Gum health: Active gum disease is treated before implants are placed. The bacteria responsible for gum disease also cause peri-implantitis around implants, so establishing a healthy gum environment first is a clinical prerequisite, not optional preparation.
Systemic health: Most conditions do not disqualify patients from implants when well-controlled. Uncontrolled diabetes, active cancer treatment, and certain bisphosphonate medications require specific evaluation. Dr. Massaband reviews your full medical history at your consultation and gives you a direct, honest assessment of candidacy.
Smoking: Tobacco use significantly increases implant failure rates. Patients who smoke are counseled to quit before surgery and throughout the healing period. This is one of the most controllable factors in implant success, and we take it seriously.
The Implant Process at Confidental Beverly Hills
Consultation and 3D CBCT Imaging
Your first appointment includes a clinical examination and a cone beam CT scan. This 3D imaging shows the exact volume and density of your jawbone, the location of nerves and sinuses, and the precise positioning for each implant. Dr. Massaband explains what the scan shows, whether your bone is ready for implant placement, and exactly what your treatment plan involves before you commit to anything.
Preparatory Care if Needed
Implant Placement Surgery
Implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available for anxious patients. Using the digital surgical plan, the titanium post is placed into the prepared bone site. The procedure is typically 30 to 90 minutes per implant. Most patients describe the post-operative experience as significantly more manageable than they anticipated, with discomfort controlled by over-the-counter pain relief in most cases.
Osseointegration
Over three to six months, the titanium implant gradually fuses with the surrounding bone. During this period you have a temporary restoration so your smile stays complete. Follow-up appointments monitor integration with digital X-rays. This is the most critical phase of treatment, and consistent attendance at monitoring appointments makes a real difference in outcomes.
Final Crown or Prosthesis Placement
Once osseointegration is confirmed, digital impressions are taken and your permanent crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis is fabricated and seated. Bite is carefully checked and adjusted. The final appointment takes 30 to 60 minutes for single implants and longer for full-arch cases. After this appointment, your implant treatment is complete and your new tooth or teeth function like the natural ones they replaced.
Dental Implant Cost in Beverly Hills
Implant costs vary based on how many teeth are being replaced, the materials used, and whether any preparatory procedures like bone grafting are needed first. The figures below are typical starting ranges for the Beverly Hills market. Your personalized quote is provided at your consultation before any treatment is committed to.
| Treatment | Typical Starting Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single Tooth Implant (post and crown) | From $3,500 | Includes post, abutment, and custom crown |
| Multiple Implants | From $3,000 per implant | Volume cases discussed at consultation |
| All-On-4 Full Arch | From $18,000 per arch | Includes surgery, temporary, and final prosthesis |
| Implant-Supported Overdenture | From $8,000 | 2 to 4 implants plus custom overdenture |
| Implant Crown Restoration Only | From $1,500 | For patients with existing posts needing crowns |
| Bone Grafting (if needed) | From $600 | Varies by volume. Billed separately from implant |
Dental insurance coverage for implants varies by plan. Many plans cover the crown portion of a single implant under the crown benefit. Some plans with orthodontic or prosthetic benefits contribute to implant-supported prostheses. Medical insurance occasionally covers implants when tooth loss is related to trauma or a documented medical condition. Our team reviews your specific coverage at your consultation. Monthly financing is available for all implant treatment plans.

Dental Implants FAQs
How much do dental implants cost in Beverly Hills?
Single tooth implants in Beverly Hills typically start around $3,500 to $5,500 including the post, abutment, and crown. All-On-4 full arch restoration starts from approximately $18,000 per arch. These are typical starting ranges; your personalized quote is provided after a consultation and 3D scan at Confidental Beverly Hills. Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of implant restorations, and flexible monthly financing is available for any treatment plan.
How long does the dental implant process take?
A standard single tooth implant takes between four and eight months from first appointment to final crown, with most of that time being the healing and osseointegration period after surgery. Same-day implants, where qualifying patients receive a temporary restoration the day of surgery, shorten the visible gap but the full healing period still applies. Cases requiring prior bone grafting add an additional three to six months before implant placement can begin.
Are dental implants painful?
Implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report the procedure itself is far less uncomfortable than they expected. Post-surgical soreness is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief for two to four days. Swelling peaks around 48 hours and then subsides. Patients typically return to normal activity within a few days. Sedation options are available for patients who want additional comfort during the procedure.
How long do dental implants last?
The titanium implant post is designed to be a permanent, lifetime restoration. The crown placed on top typically lasts 15 to 25 years before replacement may be considered due to normal wear. Patients who maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular professional cleanings, and wear a night guard if they grind their teeth consistently achieve the longest implant lifespans. Long-term studies show implant survival rates above 95 percent at 10 years for patients in good systemic health.
Can I get implants if I have been told I have too little bone?
In most cases, yes. Bone grafting can rebuild the jawbone over three to six months before implant placement. For severe upper jaw bone loss, zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone and bypass the need for grafting entirely. All-On-4 uses angled posterior implants specifically to engage available bone in patients who would otherwise require grafting before a standard protocol. A 3D CBCT scan at your Confidental Beverly Hills consultation gives a definitive answer for your specific situation.
Do you place implants for patients from outside Beverly Hills?
Yes. Confidental Beverly Hills regularly treats patients from across greater Los Angeles, including West Hollywood, Culver City, Brentwood, Century City, Bel Air, Beverlywood, and Beverly Grove. Patients travelling specifically for implant care can arrange a condensed appointment schedule that minimizes the number of visits required.
