A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root level, providing a stable titanium foundation that integrates with the surrounding jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Once integrated, a custom crown is placed on top, restoring the full appearance and function of a natural tooth. Unlike a bridge, an implant does not require reducing adjacent healthy teeth. Unlike a removable partial denture, an implant is fixed in place and does not shift during eating or speaking.
Patients from Brentwood seek implants for a range of reasons, including tooth loss from decay, fracture, or failed prior restorations, as well as planned extractions where the tooth cannot be saved. According to the National Library of Medicine, dental implants have become a standard treatment modality in dentistry with well-established long-term outcomes when placed by trained surgeons. Early consultation is important because bone preservation is optimal when an implant is placed shortly after tooth loss.
The implant process typically begins with a consultation and Cone Beam 3D imaging to assess bone volume, tooth position, and anatomy. Our surgeons use this precise three-dimensional imaging to plan placement angle, depth, and position before any surgery begins. This planning step reduces guesswork and allows for a more predictable surgical outcome.
If bone grafting is required due to atrophy or prior extraction socket loss, that procedure is typically completed first and allowed to heal before implant placement. In cases where bone volume is adequate, implant placement and grafting can sometimes occur simultaneously. After the implant integrates with the bone over a healing period, your general dentist or prosthodontist places the final crown. We coordinate closely with referring providers throughout this process.
Implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia for most straightforward cases. For patients who prefer a deeper level of comfort, or for more complex procedures involving multiple implants or simultaneous bone grafting, IV sedation is available. Our board-certified surgeons administer sedation directly, which keeps the process streamlined and cost-effective compared to a separate hospital setting. Under IV sedation, you remain deeply relaxed throughout the procedure with no memory of the surgical experience. You will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for the first few hours after surgery.
The cost of dental implants in the Los Angeles area varies based on the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, the complexity of the case, and your insurance coverage. PPO dental plans may provide partial coverage for implant-related procedures, particularly when the implant is replacing a tooth lost due to trauma, infection, or a medically necessary extraction. We verify your benefits before your procedure so there are no surprises.
For patients who require financing, we offer flexible payment options to help manage the cost of care. We also provide itemized estimates before any treatment begins. Visit our insurance and financing page for more detail on how we handle coverage verification and patient billing.
Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center is led by two board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons with deep roots on the Westside. Dr. Jonathan R. Shadi earned his undergraduate degree in neuroscience at UCLA and his DDS at the USC School of Dentistry, where he graduated on the Dean’s List and received the John Ingle Research Award in 2009. Dr. Saman Vahedi completed both his undergraduate education and dental training at UCLA and USC, then went on to complete a hospital-based oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident in 2013 and 2014. Dr. Vahedi holds Diplomate status with the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the highest credential in the field.

Not all patients require bone grafting. Whether a graft is needed depends on the volume and density of bone at the implant site, which we assess using Cone Beam 3D imaging during your consultation. If grafting is required, we discuss the timeline and options with you before any treatment begins.
Yes. We offer IV sedation administered by our board-certified surgeons for patients who prefer a deeper level of comfort or for complex multi-implant cases. Most patients who receive IV sedation have no memory of the procedure. A responsible adult must drive you home and stay with you for the first few hours after surgery.
Coverage varies significantly by plan. Some PPO plans provide partial coverage for implant placement, particularly when the tooth was lost due to a covered condition such as trauma or infection. We verify your benefits before your appointment and provide a clear estimate of out-of-pocket costs before any procedure begins.
Most patients return to normal activity within two to three days of implant placement. Osseointegration, the process by which the implant fuses with the bone, takes several months. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions and remain available for follow-up throughout the healing process.
Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center is minutes from Brentwood and ready to help you move forward with dental implant treatment in a comfortable, professional setting. Dr. Shadi and Dr. Vahedi bring board-certified credentials, in-house 3D imaging, and full sedation capability to every case, whether you need a single implant or a full-arch restoration.
