Restorative
Dental implants in Century City.
The closest thing to a natural tooth. A titanium post replaces the missing root and supports a custom crown — restoring chewing, appearance, and the bone that keeps your face looking like you. Surgery and crown both done in-house.

Overview
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.

Our approach
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.
How it works
The process, step by step.
- 01
Evaluation
Exam and CBCT 3D scan to assess bone and plan placement.
- 02
Placement
The titanium post is placed in the jaw under local anesthetic.
- 03
Healing
Over 3–6 months the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration).
- 04
Abutment
A small connector is attached once healing is complete.
- 05
Final Crown
A custom crown is made and secured — matched to your natural teeth.
Common questions
Frequently asked.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant fuses with your jawbone permanently, and the crown on top typically lasts 15 years or more before it may need replacement.
The procedure is done with local anesthetic, and sedation if you prefer, so you are comfortable throughout. Most patients report less discomfort than expected and manage any soreness afterward with over-the-counter pain relief.
From implant placement to the final crown, treatment usually spans three to six months, allowing time for the implant to fuse with the bone. We will map out your exact timeline at your consultation.
Many plans now cover part of implant treatment. Coverage varies, so our team will review your benefits and explain financing options to make treatment affordable.
