What are Dental Implants?

A welcome alternative to dentures and bridgework


A dental implant is a metal support structure that attaches to your jawbone. Once the implant fuses with the bone, the implant becomes the foundation for your custom teeth replacements or dental crowns. Your new crowns have the look and function of natural teeth.

Dental Implant Types

Innovative technology | World-renowned care


Don’t settle for ill-fitting dentures or bridgework; discover the difference in patient care and quality of care with Beverly Hills & Sherman Oaks dental implant expert, Dr. Eddie Siman. Dr. Siman evaluates your concerns during your consultation, addresses questions, and devises a personalized treatment plan with your smile goals in mind. Let’s examine your dental implant options:

All-on-4 Dental Implants

Typically referred to as “teeth in a day”, these immediate load implants have the benefit of leaving our office with a complete set of teeth. In addition, the All-on-4 dental implants are designed not to slip and are affixed into place to restore a full arch, help replace lost bone structure by filling out your face and cheeks.

Endosteal Implants
(The Most Common Dental Implant)

A traditional implant is commonly used instead of a dental bridge or dentures. The Endosteal implant has screws implanted into your jawbone for optimal strength and longevity. These dental implants have helped millions of people around the world improve their smiles over the past 60 years.

Zygomatic Dental Implants

An excellent alternative for patients who lack proper bone support is the zygomatic implant. In contrast to traditional implants (where the implant attaches to the jaw bone), zygomatic implants go into the zygoma (the bone above the maxilla that extends to form your cheekbones). This revolutionary procedure provides the comfort of a more natural feeling bite and smile for people who previously lacked the ability to receive implants due to bone loss. No more uncomfortable dentures!

Strong, Natural, and Built to Last?

Benefits of Dental Implants


Dental implants are one of the most dependable ways to replace missing teeth. They feel like natural teeth and give you the confidence to eat, talk, and smile without worrying about shifting or slipping. Since implants are anchored into the jawbone, they offer the kind of stability you just can't get with other options. Implants also play an important role in maintaining your oral health. They help prevent bone loss, preserve the shape of your face, and protect the health of surrounding teeth. Here are some of the top benefits:

  • Look and Feel Like Natural Teeth: Most people won't be able to tell the difference
  • Long-Lasting Solution: With good care, implants can last decades
  • Protects Jawbone Health: Prevents bone shrinkage that happens after losing a tooth
  • No Need to Alter Healthy Teeth: Unlike bridges, nearby teeth stay intact
  • Improves Chewing and Speaking: No slipping or discomfort like with dentures
  • Helps Maintain Facial Structure: Supports the muscles around your mouth
  • Boosts Confidence: Many patients report feeling like themselves again

Not All Tooth Replacements Are the Same

Comparing Tooth Replacement Options

There's no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to tooth replacement, but some options do a better job of supporting your long-term oral health. Here's a quick breakdown to help compare:


Dental Implants

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone and act as a strong foundation for a crown or bridge.

  • Permanent, stable, and highly functional
  • Supports bone health by stimulating the jaw
  • Doesn't rely on nearby teeth for support
  • Great for single teeth, multiple teeth, or full-arch replacement

Dental Bridges

A bridge "bridges" the gap between missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth on either side.

  • Can look natural and restore function
  • Requires shaving down healthy teeth to serve as anchors
  • Does not protect against bone loss under the missing tooth
  • May need replacement every 7–10 years

Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances that replace multiple or all missing teeth on the top or bottom of your mouth.

  • Can restore appearance and basic function
  • Often less stable and may shift while eating or talking
  • Doesn't preserve jawbone or facial shape
  • Needs to be removed nightly and cleaned regularly

A Strong Solution

Dental Implants for Loose or Broken Teethe


If you have a tooth that's loose, cracked, or beyond repair, replacing it with a dental implant can be a smart long-term fix. Implants don't just look like real teeth—they feel and work like them, too.

They're also a good choice if you've had root canals or large fillings that just aren't holding up anymore. Replacing a damaged or failing tooth with an implant can restore your bite and prevent future problems, like shifting teeth or bone loss.

Could Implants Be Right for You?

Candidates for Dental Implants

Most healthy adults with missing or damaged teeth are strong candidates for implants. The ideal candidate is someone with a healthy mouth and enough jawbone to support the implant. That said, even if you've been told you're not a candidate in the past, advancements in care might change that.

Good candidates typically:

  • Have one or more missing or unsalvageable teeth
  • Have healthy gums and no active infection
  • Have enough bone density in the jaw
  • Are in good general health
  • Don't smoke or are willing to stop temporarily during healing
  • Are committed to keeping up with regular dental care

Dr. Siman will do a thorough evaluation to make sure implants are a safe and successful option for you.

The First Step Toward a Long-Term Fix

Consultation and Preparation


Your first step is a detailed consultation with Dr. Siman. He'll take time to understand your goals, check your oral and jaw health, and go over the best options for your situation. One of the big advantages here is that everything can be done in-house, including advanced imaging like 3D CT scans, so you won't need to run around to different offices.

During this phase, we'll go over:

  • A review of your medical and dental history
  • A full exam and digital scans of your teeth and jaw
  • Discussion of your treatment options and estimated costs
  • If needed, prep steps like tooth extractions, bone grafting, or gum treatment
  • A personalized plan built around your timeline and comfort

Every case is different, and Dr. Siman is known for creating thoughtful, precise treatment plans that take your whole health into account, not just the teeth.

Our Dental Implant Procedure

Bespoke treatment from Beverly Hills dental implant expert Dr. Eddie Siman


During your consultation for dental implants Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Siman, will guide you through the process and give you peace of mind about the procedure. What makes Dr. Siman unique is his knowledge and ability to restore your teeth with proper foundation. Dr. Siman understands the architecture of the jaw and your jaw joints and constructs your teeth, taking all these areas into consideration. In a way, rebuilding a mouth is like building a house.

If you are building a single story house with three bedrooms, you go to an architect that designs single story family homes. This is like the dentist that fixes a few teeth at a time. However, if you are planning to build a high-rise, you want an architect who knows how to do commercial construction. This is like the expertise needed to reconstruct all of your upper teeth or all your lower teeth or all of your teeth. This requires years of training and experience, and it is highly recommended that you have this work performed by someone who has completed thousands of such restorations.

Sherman Oaks dental implant expert, Dr. Siman, takes the function of your teeth and jaw seriously and will uncover the root problem that caused your missing teeth. These issues are often due to malocclusion resulting from TMJ disorder. Dr. Siman combines bite and jaw positioning, along with innovative dental technology to provide function and comfort, along with achieving your aesthetic goals. Your dental implant procedure takes about one to three hours, depending on the specifics of your treatment plan. You also receive traditional dental x-rays and 3-D scans for proper site measurement and accurate implantation.

Dental Implant Recovery

For a smile that will last a lifetime


Depending on the type of dental implant procedure you need, you can expect the following recoveries:

Minimal Downtime

If you do not need bone grafting, your dental implant recovery time should be no more downtime than getting a traditional filling.

Liquid or Soft Diet

In most cases, the dental implant needs time to heal, and the more time without direct contact on the implant, the better the results for full integration. So, you will begin with a liquid or soft diet during this time. In addition, you must avoid hard or crunchy foods, such as chips or nuts, and avoid chewing gum for six weeks.

Four to Six Months After

Once the dental implant is joined to the bone, it takes about four to six months for the implant to bond to the jawbone. This is also when the abutment and dental crown are placed if needed. For some patients, full results are seen at this time.

Dental Implant Results

Follow post-treatment instructions for optimal healing.


You may experience some swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising, but these side effects are common with other types of dental surgery. Any post-procedural discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter medication. In addition, a saline rinse can help keep your mouth clean and alleviate pain and swelling.

Cost, Value, and What You’re Really Paying For

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?


Dental implants can vary in cost depending on how many teeth need to be replaced and whether any additional procedures are needed, like bone grafting or extractions. On average, a single implant—including the implant, abutment, and crown—can range from $3,100 to $5,800.

While implants do have a higher upfront cost compared to bridges or dentures, they often end up being the better value in the long term. They can last for decades with proper care, and they help avoid future problems that can come from bone loss or damage to surrounding teeth. During your consultation, Dr. Siman will break down the costs clearly and go over payment options so you can plan with confidence.

Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions


Dr. Siman will make your mouth numb with a local anesthetic. Most patients feel a slight pinch. Then once your mouth is numb, the doctor can begin the implant process.

Once a tooth is extracted, it is recommended to replace that tooth with a dental implant to avoid bone loss and prevent your teeth from shifting. Often, patients are eligible to have the implant placed immediately after the extraction of the tooth at the same appointment, avoiding the need for an additional surgery. Dr. Siman has the training, expertise, and hands-on experience in the placement of immediate dental implants and has successfully completed thousands of implant restorations.

For your Sherman Oaks dental implant needs, schedule a private consultation with Dr. Siman where he will customize your case and personalize a treatment plan that is best for you. This is accomplished by the use of his advanced technology where he will explain every step of the way with videos, graphics, and his own before & after cases of similar patients he has treated.

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, there are roughly 450,000 dental implant procedures performed each year with a 95% success rate. So, yes, dental implant surgery is safe, and with Dr. Siman’s extensive experience, you and your smile are in great hands.

Complications with dental implants are rare; however, some risks include infection at the implant site, numbness or tingling in your gums, lips, or chin, and sinus issues.

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With proper care—including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups—they can last for decades. The implant itself fuses with your jawbone, providing a stable foundation, while the crown (the visible part) may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear.

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens, and if you grind your teeth at night, consider using a night guard to protect your implants.

While dental implants have a high success rate, failures can occur. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, certain medical conditions, or insufficient bone density can increase the risk. Choosing an experienced implant dentist and following post-operative care instructions can significantly reduce these risks.

Insurance coverage for dental implants varies. Some dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the procedure, while others may not cover it at all. It's important to review your specific policy and consult with your insurance provider. Additionally, some dental offices offer financing options to help manage the cost.
