 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I haven’t been to the dentist in a few years. My last dentist would always say my teeth are fine and no further work needed even though I would complain about pain. It wasn’t a surprise when I decided to finally look for a new dentist due to the pain that I would need to get 9 fillings. Sarahy is the absolute best. She’s super friendly/professional. She explained my insurance cost and even provided payment plans. Dr Yang made the fillings as painless as can be. He thoroughly explained the process of what was going to be done before, explained the aftercare and answered any questions I had. I will definitely be recommending family and friends.

 Verified I can't say enough great things about this dentist! My son came in with a very painful toothache, and the doctor got us in quickly and immediately helped him get relief. What really stood out was how thorough and caring he was. He took detailed pictures of my son's teeth, displayed them on the screen, and walked us through everything step by step. He explained what he was seeing in a way that was easy to understand and made sure we felt comfortable and informed before making any decisions. His bedside manner was outstanding--friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. You can tell he loves what he does and truly wants his patients to understand their dental health. The entire experience was professional, stress-free, and reassuring. Front office is outstanding as well. If you're looking for a dentist who provides exceptional care and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend him. 10/10 experience. We are so grateful for the care my son received!

 Verified I found this office through Yelp, and the amazing staff reviews are what convinced me to give them a try. I'm happy to say they were absolutely right on the 1st day! From my first phone call, Sarah was friendly, welcoming, and helped verify my insurance. I shared that I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and have a strong gag reflex, and everyone was incredibly understanding and accommodating. The dentist was kind, informative, and never judgmental. Sarah also took the time to explain my treatment plan, payment options, and next steps. The entire team made me feel comfortable and cared for so far.

Restore your smile.
Improve your quality of life.
Prevent facial sagging.
Boost your self-esteem.
Ensure you speak and chew properly.

What Are the Disadvantages of Dental Implants in Whittier, CA?

More expensive than dental bridges.
Implants require oral surgery. However, our oral surgeon, Whittier, CA, makes this process as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

An implant consists of a titanium screw, an abutment, and a crown. The implant body (screw) is anchored in the jawbone to replace one or more missing teeth. Dental implants in Whittier, CA, are the gold standard of restorative treatments.

Dental implants replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth. They act, feel, and behave like your natural teeth, so you brush and floss them like your natural teeth. Implants are permanently fixed in the jawbone, so they will never pop out like dentures when you speak or eat.

A significant benefit of tooth implants is that no neighboring teeth need to be shaved down to restore a missing tooth. Dental implants in Whittier, CA, allow you to eat, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence. Like your natural teeth, they also allow you to have the bite force to be able to enjoy a nice steak. Plus, unlike dentures, you don’t have to take them out for cleaning after a meal or at bedtime.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

The best candidates for dental implants are adults with healthy gums, adequate jawbone support, and good overall oral health. Even patients who have experienced some jawbone loss may still qualify for dental implant treatment in Whittier, CA, depending on the amount of remaining bone and the overall condition of the surrounding tissues.

In certain cases, Invisalign® clear aligner treatment may be recommended before dental implant placement to create proper spacing and alignment for the future implant restoration. By carefully repositioning the surrounding teeth, Invisalign treatment can help create the ideal amount of room needed for a dental implant-supported crown to fit properly and achieve a more functional, natural-looking result.

Dental implants are often recommended when a tooth cannot be predictably restored with a traditional dental crown or porcelain dental veneers due to severe fracture, extensive decay, or long-term structural compromise. Implant-supported dental crowns are designed to restore both aesthetics and chewing function while helping preserve long-term bone support.

Patients diagnosed with diabetes or gum disease may also be candidates for dental implants depending on the severity and control of their condition. A comprehensive dental evaluation is necessary to determine whether implant treatment is appropriate on a case-by-case basis.

Patients under 25 years old are generally not ideal candidates because the jawbone may not be fully developed. Additionally, patients with a history of medications associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw may require further medical evaluation before proceeding with dental implant treatment.

3 Types of Dental Implant Treatment

Implant-supported Crown – A single implant that can replace a single missing tooth.
Implant-supported Bridge – Two or more implants that replace multiple missing teeth.
Overdentures – Two or more implants that can anchor complete dentures for superior retention and prevent them from slipping.

Implant-supported Crown

Implant-supported Bridge

Overdentures

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I consider when seeking dental implants near me?

Look for a dental professional who’s experienced in restorative dentistry and is willing to partner with you to create a customized treatment plan you’re comfortable with. You’ll also want a dental team that offers affordable dental implants and manageable payment plans.

Who is a good candidate for dental implant services in Whittier?

An adult between 25 and 65 years old with healthy gums and a strong jawbone. Even if you have lost bone in your jaw, you may still be a good candidate for implants.

How much do dental implants cost in Whittier, CA?

The total cost for a single implant, abutment, and crown is approximately $3,500 to $ 5,000. Other costs to consider include tooth extraction and bone graft, which are not included in the total cost of a single implant, abutment, and crown.

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Advancements in dentistry have made dental implant services in Whittier as pain-free as possible. Local anesthetics help ensure patient comfort and a painless dental experience. You may experience some soreness and tenderness after we place your dental implants in Whittier, CA, which is often manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.

How successful are dental implant services?

Implants have a success rate of up to 98%. One of the primary benefits of dental implants is the result of numerous advancements in modern dentistry. Perfect Smile Dental Group uses state-of-the-art imaging technology, combined with time-tested surgical techniques, to maximize implant success rates.

The longevity of implants also depends on a patient’s commitment to aftercare, which may include daily flossing and brushing. It also involves attending regular dental checkups and cleanings.

How soon after tooth extraction can you begin dental implant services in Whittier?

How soon you can have an implant post-extraction depends on two things: whether there’s enough bone and if there are any active infections. If there’s enough bone to support the implant and no active infections are present, same-day post-extraction implant placement is possible.

In most cases, the extraction site and bone graft must heal for 3 to 6 months. This healing process helps reduce the risk of complications. During this three- to six-month period, you would receive a removable partial denture (flipper), which can temporarily replace one or more missing teeth until the area is ready for a dental implant.

What happens if a tooth is pulled and not replaced?

If you have a tooth pulled and don’t replace it, the bone surrounding the extracted tooth will resorb, causing the nearby teeth to shift and lean into the space. The opposing tooth will supra-erupt (grow longer) into the space and hit the other teeth at an odd angle that may cause them to fracture.

A bone graft is necessary after a tooth extraction to preserve the bone level at the extraction site. Missing teeth should be replaced with dental implant services in Whittier to prevent them from shifting or super-erupting.

How long do dental implants last?

Implants can last decades, up to 25 years or longer. Such a long-lasting rate is due to the implant procedure and osseointegration, which occurs when the titanium part of your implant fully integrates with your jawbone. With good oral hygiene, implants can last a lifetime.

How can I cover my missing teeth while waiting for my implants?

While waiting for the implant, a patient can use an interim denture (flipper). Not only do flippers maintain your smile, but they also help prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of their natural position.

Are affordable dental implants possible?

Yes! Perfect Smile Dental Group takes many insurance plans. If you don’t have dental implant insurance coverage, we will work with you to develop a payment plan that suits your needs. We offer attractive financing options to ensure you’re comfortable with the payments to secure your healthy, confident smile.

What happens if I get a bone graft but not an implant?

A good bone graft will preserve the ridge for future dental implant placement in Whittier, CA, many years down the road.

The primary concern when an oral surgeon in Whittier, CA, places a bone graft after an extraction without an implant is that the opposing tooth will super-erupt into that space. The supra-erupted tooth can create a pocket that traps food and leads to a localized deep pocket. The supra-erupted tooth will also prevent the future implant crown from obtaining the correct height due to limited vertical space.

Perfect Smile recommends receiving a dental implant to prevent this and help preserve your smile.
