Dental Implants in West Los Angeles

A missing tooth deserves a plan that considers your bite, bone, gums, and long-term care. At Alchemy Dental, I’m Dr. Syrus Elicus, and I help you explore dental implant treatment and other tooth-replacement options at my West LA office.

Explore your options for a missing tooth

A dental implant is placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth. For a single missing tooth, the final restoration commonly includes an implant, a connecting abutment, and a custom crown. I explain each part of the plan so you understand the treatment and fees.

My approach to implant planning

I start with an examination, your medical and dental history, and a discussion of your goals. I assess the teeth, gums, bite, and available bone. When indicated, CBCT imaging helps evaluate the anatomy and plan the implant position. I discuss whether implant treatment is suitable, whether preparatory care is needed, and which alternatives deserve consideration.

What to expect during treatment

Consultation and planning: I explain the findings, treatment options, expected sequence, and estimate.
Preparation and implant placement: Any necessary extraction or bone grafting is planned around your individual situation. Placement and healing are scheduled according to the condition of the site.
Final restoration: When the implant is ready for restoration, the abutment and custom crown complete the replacement tooth.
Maintenance: I explain cleaning around the implant and recommend follow-up care.

Frequently asked questions

Am I a candidate for a dental implant?

That requires an examination. Bone support, gum health, medical history, medications, and healing-related factors all influence planning.

How long does dental implant treatment take?

The timeline depends on the site, healing, and whether additional procedures are needed. I discuss the sequence and expected timing after evaluating your case.

Can an implant be placed at the extraction visit?

Immediate placement is an option only in selected situations. I assess the site and explain whether immediate or delayed placement is appropriate.

What are the alternatives?

Depending on the situation, alternatives may include a dental bridge or a removable replacement. I explain the benefits, limitations, and maintenance of suitable options.
