Replace 1 tooth without touching the healthy ones.
A single implant and crown fill the gap on their own, so the teeth beside it stay untouched. The new tooth is shaded to match its neighbors and chews like the one you lost.

What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth's root, topped with a crown, bridge, or denture once the bone fuses around it. Unlike a bridge, an implant doesn't rely on the teeth next to it. It also helps stop the jawbone from shrinking and keeps nearby teeth from drifting into the gap.
Which Type of Implant Fits Your Tooth Loss?
Rebuild several gaps as 1 coordinated plan.
Multiple implants, or an implant-supported bridge, replace several missing teeth in one plan. Nothing clips on, nothing comes out, and you chew evenly on both sides again.
Book a free consultationTrade a failing arch for fixed teeth.
All-on-4® uses 4 implants to hold a complete arch of fixed teeth that only the dental team removes. It ends the cycle of patching one failing tooth after another.
Book a free consultationKeep a removable denture that stops slipping.
Implant-supported dentures snap onto implants, so they stay put through meals and conversation. You still take them out to clean, without the adhesive.
Book a free consultationHow Painful Is Getting a Dental Implant?
Getting a dental implant isn't painful for most patients, because the area is fully numbed before placement begins.
You'll feel pressure, not pain. A few days of soreness and swelling afterward is normal and usually eased with over-the-counter pain relievers. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation are available if you're anxious.
What Brings Patients In
A Calabasas patient lost a back molar years ago and quietly learned to chew on the other side. That worked until the teeth beside the gap began tipping toward the empty space.
At her free consultation, the CT scan showed enough bone to place an implant without grafting, so she was booked for the specialist's next day at our Westlake Village office. That evening, the doctor called to see how she was feeling. A few months later, her crown went on. For the first time in years, dinner didn't come with a plan for which side to chew on.
How Getting Dental Implants Works
- Free consultation and CT scan. You see your scan on screen, and Dr. Melina explains which teeth can stay and which implant option fits.
- Placement day. The implant specialist places your implants at this office. If bone grafting is needed, it's done in the same office.
- Healing. Over several months, the bone fuses around each implant. You can reach the dentist directly, and the doctor personally calls to check on you.
- Your new teeth. Once the implants are stable, your crown, bridge, denture, or full arch is attached and adjusted to your bite.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often, yes. Patients with failing teeth can have them removed and replaced with a full arch on implants, such as All-on-4®, or with implant-supported dentures. Candidacy depends on your bone and overall health, which the CT scan shows. Dr. Melina won't remove teeth that can be kept, and your plan will spell out what you'll wear while you heal.
Most healthy adults with enough jawbone are candidates. The in-office CT scan at your free consultation shows how much bone you have, and bone grafting can help if there isn't enough.
Placement shouldn't hurt, because the area is fully numbed first. Expect a few days of soreness and swelling afterward.
The implant post can last for decades with good care, while the crown on top may eventually need replacing. Daily brushing, flossing, and checkups protect both.
Yes. Westlake Village Dentist accepts all PPO plans, and coverage for implants varies by plan. You'll get a written cost breakdown before treatment, and Cherry financing is available.
