Dr. Alfred Tamir earned his dental degree from New York University and graduated at the top of his class. He has worked in dental surgery and implantology since 2006, with a focus on implant surgery, cosmetic dentistry, and comprehensive patient care.
Together, our doctors plan both the surgical and restorative portions of treatment. Patients can learn more about our experience by taking time to meet our dental implant specialists.
Atlantic Dental & Orthodontics has treated more than 50,000 patients and placed more than 15,000 dental implants. We use that experience to determine whether an implant is appropriate and which approach fits each patient’s needs.

Dental Implant Care on Greenleaf Avenue
Our office is located at 6716 Greenleaf Avenue in Whittier. Patients looking for a dentist in Whittier can complete their implant evaluation, imaging, surgical planning, placement, and restoration with one coordinated team.
Implant consultations begin with an examination, X-rays, and scans. This is especially important for patients who have worn dentures, lost several teeth, or have been told they may have insufficient bone. Rather than assuming one solution will work for everyone, we assess the supporting bone, gums, bite, and number of missing teeth before discussing treatment.
Our English- and Spanish-speaking team helps patients understand each stage. Easy parking also makes return visits for treatment and follow-up more convenient.
Tooth-Replacement Options Available in Whittier
Dental implant treatment can replace one tooth, several teeth, or a complete arch. We recommend an option only after examining your mouth and reviewing your imaging.
Affordable Dentures for Missing Teeth
Removable dentures may be considered when a patient needs to replace several missing teeth but is not ready for implant treatment. We explain how traditional dentures compare with implant-supported options in stability, maintenance, and treatment requirements.
Permanent Implant-Supported Teeth
Implant-supported teeth can provide a stable alternative for patients struggling with loose or uncomfortable removable dentures. The number and location of implants depend on the condition of the jawbone and the planned restoration.
Full-Mouth Dental Implant Treatment
For patients with extensive tooth loss or failing teeth, full-mouth treatment may rebuild one or both arches. Our doctors use examination findings and three-dimensional imaging to determine whether implants, additional preparation, or another approach should be considered.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 treatment uses four implants to support a complete arch of replacement teeth. Our Whittier implant dentists assess bone availability and implant positioning before deciding whether this approach is appropriate.
Cost of Dental Implant Treatment
Implant cost varies according to the number of missing teeth, type of restoration, imaging findings, and any preparation required. An individual treatment plan provides a more useful estimate than a standard advertised price.
Tooth Extraction Before Implant Placement
A severely damaged or infected tooth may need to be removed before it can be replaced. We first evaluate whether the tooth can be restored and explain the available options before recommending extraction.
Problems Dental Implants May Address
An implant consultation helps us identify why teeth were lost and what the mouth needs to support a lasting restoration.
One Missing Tooth
A single implant can replace a missing tooth without depending on adjacent teeth for support. A custom ceramic crown completes the visible portion of the restoration.
Several Missing Teeth
Multiple implants may support individual crowns or a larger restoration. The treatment plan depends on the location of the spaces and the health of the remaining teeth.
Loose or Uncomfortable Dentures
Patients who struggle with denture movement may be evaluated for an implant-supported solution. Implants can provide additional stability, but candidacy must be confirmed through an examination and imaging.
Extensive Tooth Damage
When several teeth cannot be predictably restored, our dentists can evaluate full-arch options. Any decision to remove teeth is made only after reviewing the findings and possible alternatives.
Start with a Free Dental Implant Consultation
Atlantic Dental & Orthodontics offers free dental implant consultations. This visit gives you an opportunity to discuss missing teeth, uncomfortable dentures, full-arch treatment, and questions about the implant process.
A full clinical plan may require an examination, X-rays, and scans. We use that information to explain whether implants may be suitable and what steps your case could involve.
Three-Dimensional Planning and In-House Fabrication
CBCT imaging gives our dentists a three-dimensional view of the jaw and surrounding structures for implant planning. Digital scanners and intraoral cameras provide additional information without relying only on a visual examination.
For qualifying cases, CT-guided planning helps determine implant position before treatment. Our in-house capabilities also allow us to coordinate implant fabrication and the final restoration within the same practice. Custom ceramic crowns are made to complement the surrounding teeth while restoring function.
Sedation options are available for implant placement. The appropriate approach is discussed according to the procedure and the patient’s needs.
Insurance and Monthly Payment Options
Coverage for dental implants varies by policy. Our benefits coordinator can verify coverage, explain available benefits, submit claims, and review the expected patient portion before treatment begins.
We accept PPO plans from providers including Aetna, Ameritas, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, and UCCI. Patients can review our dental insurance and financing options before scheduling.
CareCredit, Cherry financing, low initial payments, and manageable monthly payment plans are available for qualifying patients.
Questions Whittier Patients Ask About Dental Implants
These answers cover common concerns patients raise when considering implant treatment at our Greenleaf Avenue office.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants in Whittier?

Can Your Whittier Office Handle the Entire Implant Process?
Yes. We coordinate evaluation, imaging, treatment planning, implant placement, fabrication, and the final restoration under one roof. The exact sequence depends on your individual case.

Cost depends on the number of implants, restoration type, imaging findings, and any preparatory treatment. After evaluating your mouth, we can provide a personalized estimate and review financing options.
Can Implants Help If My Dentures Keep Moving?
