Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a more convenient alternative to dentures. Although they are not new, they’re becoming more commonplace. More than 3 million people in the U.S. have dental implants, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and about a half-million more people per year are receiving them.₁

If you are losing teeth or missing them, Implants 4 Life performs complex dental restorations in California. Our in-house lab and state-of-the-art surgical center enable us to provide high-quality dental implants in one day. Implants are designed and manufactured in our facility to address your unique situation.

You can chew, speak, and smile confidently with our personally crafted dental implants. Our Dr. Sean Ebrahimian, or “Dr. E”, is considered a true dental implant artist. He will manage your entire treatment plan with the support of our experienced staff. You will receive a diagnosis, treatment plan, and implant procedure—all from one location. People from all over the country visit Dr. E for this reason.

A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth root. It is inserted in the jawbone, and once you’re healed, an abutment is placed above it to support a prosthetic crown.

Dental implants are no longer only used to replace just one tooth. They can replace an entire arch of teeth. The implant itself is made of durable, biocompatible titanium. When the titanium fuses with the bone, it provides a strong bond that restores full dental function. Zirconia is used for crowns, bridges, and prosthetic arches; it is a durable ceramic with exceptional strength.

Depending on your needs, we can provide:

• Endosteal Implants: Serving as direct replacements to tooth roots, they are drilled into the jawbone to secure artificial teeth.
• Subperiosteal Implants: These are placed above the jaw but below the gum, especially in patients with insufficient bone mass for endosteal implants.
• Zygomatic Implants: These replace teeth in the upper jaw and are implanted into the cheekbone, or zygomatic bone, to provide solid anchor points.

Dental implants have many benefits over dentures and other teeth replacement options. Using modern technology, we can provide custom dental restorations that:

• Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
• Can last for the rest of your life
• Preserve natural bone
• Stimulate bone growth
• May reduce the risk of gum disease
• Won’t slip or cause discomfort
• Restore natural chewing ability
• Do not interfere with speech
• Promote a more youthful appearance
• Can increase your confidence

Every patient at Implants 4 Life begins with a consultation. We use the latest technology to accurately visualize your dental anatomy and maximize precision. The Face Hunter 3D facial scanner delivers photo-realistic imagery that helps plan your treatment. Using the Zirkonzahn CAD/CAM system, we quickly mill personalized dental restorations; it ensures a perfect fit and successful results.

Dr. E and our team also specialize in different implant procedures, including:

• Traditional Implant Technique: A three-part endosteal implant, which resembles a screw, replaces the missing tooth’s root. An abutment is placed atop and supports a prosthetic crown. This is a multi-phase approach that can take several months to complete.
• Guided Implant Surgery: Advanced imaging and surgical equipment are used to insert the implant at a precise angle and depth, improving the chances of success, reducing healing time, and minimizing the risk of complications.
• Immediate Load Dental Implants: A temporary tooth is placed on the implant immediately after it is inserted into the bone, thereby providing the patient with a dental implant in one day. The procedure is best for patients with enough natural bone to support the implant.
• All-on-4 Implants: If you’re missing all or most of your upper or lower teeth, four titanium implants can be used to support a full-arch prosthetic. Unlike dentures, it’s never removed and allows you to bite, chew, and speak naturally.

If you’re missing or losing teeth, we offer various implant options and procedures that result in complete dental restorations. Dental implants have numerous benefits over dentures.
