Dental Implants in Beverly Hills
Missing a tooth? Or a few? It's a real thing. Here at Clove Dental, right in Beverly Hills, we get it. We offer something amazing for that: dental implants. Seriously. They're designed to feel like your own teeth. Looks like your own. Work like your own. If you want a solid, lasting fix, get back your bite and your confidence. That full, complete smile feeling. Then, yeah, this is absolutely for you. Let's explore.
What Are Dental Implants?
On top of this, we place a custom-made crown—that's your new tooth. It's crafted to look perfectly real, blending right in with your other teeth. The whole idea is to give you a tooth that not only fills the space but also feels completely natural when you use it and when you smile.
Signs You Might Need Dental Implants
If you've been noticing any of the following, exploring dental implants might be a truly beneficial step for you:
- A Gap in Your Smile: Whether it's just one tooth that's gone, or several, that space can be more than just cosmetic. It affects how you eat and how you feel about your smile.
- Trouble Chewing Certain Foods: Are you finding yourself avoiding crunchy apples, or even just tough meats, because it's simply too difficult or uncomfortable to chew effectively? Missing teeth significantly reduce your biting force, which can limit your diet.
- Changes in Your Face Shape: Believe it or not, when a tooth is missing, the jawbone underneath it can start to shrink over time. As it's no longer being stimulated. This bone loss can eventually lead to a sunken appearance around the mouth or a change in your facial contours.
- Teeth Around the Gap Are Moving: When there's a space, neighboring teeth can sometimes start to drift or tilt into that opening. This shift can throw off your bite, create new food traps, and even lead to more dental problems down the line.

The Dental Implant Procedure
We've carefully structured our dental implant journey to put your comfort and the ultimate success of your smile first.
- Initial Consultation
Your very first visit is all about understanding your unique situation. We'll thoroughly check your oral health, often using advanced imaging technology to really see if your jawbone is ready to support implants. If it needs a little extra strength, we might suggest bone grafting to make sure everything's perfectly stable. - Implant Placement
This is where the titanium implant itself is carefully placed into your jawbone. Over the next few months, something amazing happens: your bone grows around and integrates with the implant. This natural process creates that super strong, steady base for your new tooth. - Abutment Connection
Once the implant is fully healed and firmly fused with your bone, we then attach a small connecting piece. This is called an abutment. It's the sturdy anchor that your custom-made new tooth will securely rest upon. - Custom Restoration
Finally, your new tooth – whether it's a crown, a bridge, or even a specially designed denture – is custom-crafted. We make sure it flawlessly matches your natural teeth in color and shape. This beautiful restoration is then securely attached to the abutment, perfectly completing your restored smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants can range widely in price, but typically cost between $3,000 and $6,000 for a single implant that includes its crown. The intricacy of your particular case and if any more processes are necessary are two examples of the variables that affect this number.
Dental implants are a great option for the great majority of healthy individuals who are missing one or more teeth. The main prerequisite is that there must be enough healthy jawbone to sustain the implant. Advanced procedures like bone grafting may frequently prepare your jaw, even if some bone loss has already occurred.
