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.
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.
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 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.
If a removable denture slips or your remaining teeth are failing, fixed dentures on implants stay in place. Dr. Paz’s experience includes same-day fixed dentures for qualifying patients, confirmed by your examination and three-dimensional imaging.
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.
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.
An implant consultation helps us identify why teeth were lost and what the mouth needs to support a lasting restoration.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Atlantic Dental & Orthodontics offers free dental implant consultations. 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.
Discuss missing teeth, uncomfortable dentures, full-arch treatment, and your questions about the implant process.
An examination, X-rays, and scans show the supporting bone, gums, bite, and number of missing teeth.
Our doctors place the implants. Sedation options are available, and we discuss the right approach for your procedure and needs.
Fabrication and the final restoration are coordinated within the same practice, matched to your surrounding teeth.
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 in Whittier are available for implant placement. The appropriate approach is discussed according to the procedure and the patient’s needs.

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.
Implant-supported teeth may provide greater stability than removable dentures. An examination and CBCT scan help determine whether your jaw can support the planned implants and restoration.
Timing varies according to the number of implants, healing, and the type of final restoration. After the initial evaluation, our dentists can explain the expected stages, the anticipated sequence, and whether follow-up visits will be needed.
