Dental Implants Beverly Hills
Dental implants in Beverly Hills that replace the root, not only the tooth. Over 25 years of restorative dentistry in the Beverly Hills Triangle.
An implant makes sense when a tooth is missing or beyond repair and the surrounding bone is healthy enough to hold the post. It suits a single gap, several gaps, or a bridge or denture that no longer fits. Dr. Hanam-Jahr checks bone density with a scan before recommending one. Results vary by patient.
One Missing Tooth
Missing teeth can be embarrassing and you want to hide your smile.
Several Missing Teeth
You avoid photos and smiling because you’ve lost your confidence.
A Bridge or Denture That Doesn't Fit
Large gaps are affecting your bite.
A Missing Tooth Is Not Only About the Gap
The tooth you can see is half of it. The root underneath kept the jawbone working, and once it is gone the bone in that spot starts to shrink, which is why a gap left alone changes the shape of your face over years rather than months. An implant replaces the root, so the bone keeps its job. At Beverly Hills Aesthetic Dentistry, Dr. Jamielynn Hanam-Jahr has placed and restored implants in the Beverly Hills Triangle for over 25 years. Patients drive in from Century City, West Hollywood, Beverly Grove, and Beverly Hills Post Office.
She will also tell you when an implant is not the answer. Not every gap needs one, and a bridge or partial denture is the better call in some mouths, usually because of bone volume or what the neighbouring teeth are already doing. Plans get sorted into what is urgent, what is important, and what is optional, so you know which part of the quote is the tooth and which part is the timeline.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium, placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing. A crown attaches on top to replace the visible tooth. The implant holds the crown in place without touching the healthy teeth beside it. Results vary by patient.
Every implant has three parts:
- The post. A titanium screw set into the jawbone. It replaces the tooth root.
- The abutment. A small connector joining the post to the crown.
- The crown. The visible tooth, shaped and shaded to match the teeth around it.
An implant also keeps the jawbone working. When a tooth is lost, the bone underneath begins to shrink because nothing stimulates it. The post takes over the same job. The bone stays active and holds its shape, which supports the soft tissue in your face over time.
Why People Choose Dental Implants
People choose dental implants when they want a tooth replacement that does not slip, shift, or feel bulky. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants fuse with your bone and act like a real tooth root. This gives you stability when chewing and a natural look when smiling.
Implants also help protect the jawbone. When a tooth is missing, the bone in that area slowly shrinks. An implant keeps the bone active and healthy, helping preserve your facial structure over time.
Types of Dental Implants
Different implant options support different smile goals. Some focus on replacing one tooth, while others replace many at once.
Here are the most common types of implants:
- Single dental implants
- Implant-supported bridges
- Implant-retained overdentures (similar to All-on-4)
- Full-arch hybrid implant dentures
- Ceramic implants for metal-free cases
Each option has unique strengths. Dr. Hanam-Jahr reviews your bone health, smile goals, and lifestyle to choose the best approach.
How do Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are designed to replace a missing tooth from the root up, giving you a strong and natural-looking result. Each implant has three parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the crown. The post acts like the tooth root, the abutment connects the post to the restoration, and the crown completes the new tooth with a realistic appearance. The process happens in stages so the bone can heal fully and create a stable foundation for long-term support.
Here is a simple outline of the implant steps:
- Consultation and 3D bone scan
- Implant placement
- Healing period for bone integration
- Abutment attachment
- Final crown placement
Once the implant has bonded with the bone, the remaining steps move quickly and comfortably. The final crown is shaped and colored to match your natural teeth, giving you a seamless smile. With proper care, dental implants function like real teeth and can last for decades, offering both durability and confidence in your everyday life.
Implants vs Other Tooth Replacement Options
Here is a quick comparison of how implants differ from bridges and dentures:
| Option | Dental Implants | Bridge | Partial Denture |
| What it is | Artificial root with crown | Connected replacement teeth | Removable tooth appliance |
| Best for | One or more missing teeth | Missing tooth between healthy teeth | Several missing teeth |
| Affects other teeth | No | Yes, nearby teeth shaved | No |
| Strength | Very strong | Strong | Least strong |
| Longevity | 15 to 25 years | 10–15 years | 5–7 years |
Am I a Candidate for Implants
Candidates for implants need healthy gums and enough jawbone to hold the implant securely. A 3D scan shows whether the bone is strong enough or if grafting is needed.
Here are signs you may be a good candidate:
- You are missing one or more teeth
- You want a non-removable option
- Your gums are healthy
- You want a long-term solution
- You have enough jawbone or are open to grafting
Dr. Hanam-Jahr evaluates your bite, bone levels, and gum health to confirm whether implants are right for you.
How Much Does a Dental Implant Cost in Beverly Hills?
Implant costs vary based on how many teeth are replaced and whether bone grafting or sinus lifts are needed. In Beverly Hills, implant treatment typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,500 per tooth, including the post, abutment, and crown.
Insurance may cover part of the cost if tooth loss affects your oral function. Payment plans help spread out the investment. You will receive a clear breakdown of costs during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
People ask this because they worry dental surgery might be painful. They want reassurance about the experience and recovery. This question usually comes from someone nervous about discomfort.
What they should be asking instead: “How do you keep patients comfortable before, during, and after dental implant treatment?”
- Implant placement is done with full numbing, so you feel pressure but not pain.
- Mild soreness afterward is normal and usually managed with over-the-counter medication.
- Recovery is often easier than people expect when aftercare instructions are followed.
How long does the dental implant process take?
People want to plan around work, events, and daily life. They also want to understand how many visits are needed. This question usually comes from someone wanting a clear timeline.
What they should be asking instead: “What is the most realistic timeline for my implant based on my bone health and treatment needs?”
- Most implants take several months because the bone needs time to heal around the implant.
- Some cases allow same-day crowns, but only when conditions are ideal.
- Your dentist will map out a detailed plan so you know what to expect at each step.
Can dental implants fail?
People ask this because implants are a long-term investment and they want to know the risks. They also want to understand how to prevent problems. This question usually comes from someone comparing implants to other options.
What they should be asking instead: “What steps help my implant succeed and last as long as possible?”
- Implants rarely fail when the bone heals properly and oral hygiene is good.
- Smoking, uncontrolled health issues, and poor oral care increase the risk of complications.
- Following home-care instructions and attending regular checkups helps keep implants stable.
Do implants look like real teeth?
People want to be sure their new tooth will blend in naturally. They may worry that it will look too white or artificial. This question usually comes from someone who cares about appearance.
What they should be asking instead: “How do you match an implant crown so it looks natural next to my other teeth?”
- Implant crowns are custom shaded to match your real teeth.
- Materials like porcelain and zirconia reflect light like enamel.
- A skilled cosmetic dentist designs the shape and color to fit your smile.
How long do dental implants last?
People ask this because implants are a big investment and they want to know the long-term value. They also want confidence that their implant will stay stable for many years. This question usually comes from someone wondering what daily habits matter most for implant success.
What they should be asking instead: “What helps a dental implant last as long as possible?”
- Dental implants can last for decades when placed correctly and cared for with daily brushing and flossing.
- Because the titanium post fuses with your bone, implants stay stable and function like natural teeth for many years.
- Avoiding smoking, using a nightguard if you grind, and keeping regular cleanings all help protect the implant and surrounding tissues.
