Get realistic teeth with dental implants
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to serve as replacement tooth roots. Once an implant is in place, it supports a custom crown, a bridge or a full arch of new teeth, so your replacement teeth function like natural teeth and you can eat the foods you enjoy. Because the implant stands in for the root, it also helps prevent the bone loss that follows a missing tooth and preserves your facial structure and smile. Dr. Kiumars Karbasi plans each case with 3D Cone Beam CT imaging and digital impressions, so placement is mapped before treatment begins. When the site needs bone or gum support first, periodontist Dr. Hazem Saqqal prepares it in the same office, so your care stays in one place.

Implant options for your smile
Implants are a versatile solution to replace missing teeth, and there are several options to meet your needs.
- Single implant and crownOne implant is placed in the jawbone and topped with a custom-made dental crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
- Implant-supported bridgeIf you are missing several teeth in a row, implants support a bridge of artificial teeth. It is more stable than a conventional bridge, and no material is removed from healthy teeth.
- Implant denturesImplant-supported dentures are more secure than regular dentures, so you can eat and speak with confidence that your teeth will not slip. Choose teeth that are removed for cleaning or teeth that stay in place.
- All-on-4® dental implantsWith All-on-4®, four implants support a full arch of teeth, an option when you need to replace all the teeth on your upper or lower jaw.

The short answer
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to serve as replacement tooth roots. Each implant supports a custom crown, a bridge, a denture or a full arch of fixed teeth that looks and functions like a natural tooth and helps prevent bone loss in the jaw. Treatment is planned with 3D Cone Beam CT imaging and digital impressions, so bone is mapped and each implant can be placed at a precise angle before the new teeth are made.
Dental implants FAQ
- What are dental implants?
- Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to serve as replacement tooth roots. If you are missing one or more teeth, an implant acts as the base for a new tooth, so the replacement looks and functions like a natural tooth. Implants can support several types of replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, dentures and full arches of fixed teeth. Treatment is planned with 3D Cone Beam CT imaging, so each implant is placed precisely.
- Are dental implants painful?
- Most implant patients report little discomfort during and after treatment. Your mouth is completely numb in the area being treated, and afterward most discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Sedation dentistry is also available for patients who feel anxious or who are having a longer appointment. All in all, you should expect a relatively comfortable implant experience.
- How much do dental implants cost?
- The cost of dental implants varies, depending mainly on how many implants you receive. In some cases you may also need another procedure first, such as a tooth extraction or a bone graft, to prepare for the implant. We discuss cost with you during the planning stage, so you know exactly what to expect before treatment begins. Financing options, including fixed-rate treatment loans suited to larger cases, can help make your care manageable.
- How do I find out if implants are right for me?
- Schedule a free dental implant consultation. We evaluate your smile, explain your options and create a personalized plan. Imaging such as a 3D Cone Beam CT shows the bone where an implant would be placed, which helps decide the right approach. From there, you can choose the option that fits your needs, from a single implant to a full arch.
- What types of implant restorations are available?
- Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth in a row or a full arch. A single implant is topped with a custom crown, and an implant-supported bridge replaces several missing teeth without removing material from healthy teeth. Implant dentures are more secure than regular dentures and can be removable or fixed, and All-on-4® uses four implants to support a full arch. For extensive dental issues, a full-mouth reconstruction plan replaces all missing and damaged teeth.
- Will I need a bone graft before getting an implant?
- Not always, but in some cases bone grafting is needed to prepare a site for a dental implant. Bone grafting rebuilds bone where it has been lost, and the 3D imaging taken during planning shows whether a site needs it. When it does, periodontist Dr. Hazem Saqqal performs the grafting in the same office. Any preparatory procedure is discussed with you during the planning stage.
- Who plans and places my implants?
- Dr. Kiumars Karbasi plans implant treatment with 3D Cone Beam CT imaging, from a single tooth to implant-supported dentures. Dr. Hazem Saqqal, a Board-Certified Periodontist, has extensive experience in implant dentistry, bone and soft tissue grafting, and computer-guided implant surgery. He provides implant support in the same office, coordinated with Dr. Karbasi’s restorative treatment. That means your care stays in one place, without an outside referral.
