Dental Implants in Pasadena, CA

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small, biocompatible posts (usually titanium) that are surgically placed in your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with the bone—a process called osseointegration—it becomes the stable base for a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic.

Benefits of implants include:

• Long-lasting durability (often decades or longer)
  
• Natural appearance and chewing function
  
• Prevention of jawbone deterioration
  
• No impact on adjacent healthy teeth (unlike bridges)
  
• Improved confidence and comfort compared to dentures
  

Types of Dental Implant Solutions

At Angha Perio, we personalize your treatment based on your oral health, bone structure, and long-term goals. Options include:

• Single Tooth Implants – Replace one missing tooth without affecting others
  
• Implant Bridges – Restore several teeth with fewer implant posts
  
• All-on-4 implants – Full-arch tooth replacement with just four implants per arch
  
• Immediate Implants – In some cases, we can place an implant right after a tooth extraction for faster results
  

If your bone volume is limited, we may recommend bone grafting or ridge augmentation before implant placement. For upper molar areas, a sinus lift may be needed to ensure stability.

What to Expect During the Implant Process

1. Comprehensive exam and 3D imaging
   
2. Discussion of your goals and medical background
   
3. Customized surgical treatment plan
   
4. Implant placement under local anesthesia and optional oral conscious sedation
5. Healing and bone integration (typically 4–6 months)
   
6. Restoration by your general or prosthetic dentist
   

We work closely with your referring dentist—or connect you with a trusted prosthetic partner—to ensure your crown or prosthesis fits beautifully and functions perfectly.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Dental implants may be right for you if you:

• Are missing one or more teeth
  
• Have healthy gums and enough jawbone (or are open to grafting)
  
• Don’t want to wear removable dentures
  
• Are looking for a long-term, natural-feeling solution
• Are in good general health and committed to oral hygiene
