Dental implants in Century City.

Why implants are the gold standard.

A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up. A small titanium post is placed in the jaw, where it fuses with the bone over a few months, then a custom crown is attached on top. The result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.

Unlike a bridge, an implant doesn't rely on grinding down neighboring teeth — and unlike a denture, it stops the bone loss that follows a missing tooth. Dr. Esfahani handles both the surgical placement and the final crown, so it's one team and one plan throughout.

Save the tooth first — replace it right when you can't.

Implants are remarkable, but the healthiest tooth is still your own. When a tooth can be reliably saved, we save it. When it genuinely can't, an implant is usually the best replacement available.

Good implant dentistry is mostly planning: enough healthy bone, correct angulation, and a crown designed for your bite. We do the imaging and planning up front so the result lasts.
