Century City is one of the most concentrated professional districts in Los Angeles, home to major law firms, media companies, financial institutions, and the Westfield Century City retail and office complex. Professionals working or residing in Century City expect care that fits a demanding schedule, and Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center is positioned to deliver it. Our office at 12300 Wilshire Blvd #326, Los Angeles, CA 90025 is approximately two miles west of Century City along Wilshire Boulevard, a straightforward drive that bypasses freeway traffic entirely. Many Century City patients find a consultation or post-procedure follow-up is achievable during a midday break.
Dental implants are a permanent, root-level solution to tooth loss that preserves jawbone, eliminates the instability of removable appliances, and protects adjacent teeth from the structural compromise required by a traditional bridge. At Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center, implant surgery is performed by two board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons whose credentials and hospital training are the highest available in the specialty.
Century City patients include executives, attorneys, entertainment industry professionals, and finance professionals who understand long-term value and tend to make healthcare decisions accordingly. A dental implant is the only tooth replacement option that addresses bone loss at the root level, functions exactly like a natural tooth, and requires no special maintenance beyond normal brushing and flossing. It does not require altering adjacent teeth the way a bridge does, and it does not shift or require adhesive the way a partial denture does.
Research published through the National Library of Medicine confirms dental implants as a well-documented, effective tooth replacement modality with outcomes established across decades of clinical use. For patients who value durability and minimizing the long-term management of their dental care, the implant remains the standard of care.
Every implant case at Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center begins with a consultation that includes Cone Beam 3D imaging of the implant site. This gives us a precise, three-dimensional view of bone volume, width, root anatomy, and proximity to nerves and sinus structures before any surgical planning begins. The consultation results in a clear treatment plan with timeline and cost estimates before you commit to anything.
If bone volume at the implant site is insufficient, we may recommend bone grafting prior to or concurrent with implant placement. Once the site is ready, the implant is placed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on your preference and case complexity. After osseointegration, your general dentist or prosthodontist places the final crown. We provide complete post-operative care instructions and coordinate with your referring provider throughout the process.
Century City’s professional population includes a high concentration of PPO dental plan holders through employer-sponsored coverage from major firms and media companies in the area. Many of these plans include partial coverage for implant-related procedures when the treatment is medically indicated. We verify your specific benefits before any procedure is scheduled and provide a full itemized estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
For costs beyond insurance coverage, flexible payment options are available through CareCredit, Alphaeon, and Cherry financing. Our insurance and financing page provides a complete overview of how we handle billing and financing for Century City and Westside patients.
Dr. Jonathan R. Shadi completed his undergraduate neuroscience degree at UCLA and his DDS at the USC School of Dentistry, where he was recognized on the Dean’s List and received the John Ingle Research Award in 2009. Dr. Saman Vahedi is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, a designation earned through rigorous written and oral board certification, and completed his surgical residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident from 2013 to 2014. Both surgeons bring hospital-trained precision to the full scope of implant dentistry.
Our office is approximately two miles west of Century City on Wilshire Boulevard. The drive typically takes five to ten minutes without freeway involvement. We are located at 12300 Wilshire Blvd #326, Los Angeles, CA 90025, near the corner of Wilshire and Bundy Drive.
For most patients, yes, primarily because an implant does not require reducing adjacent healthy teeth and because it preserves the jawbone at the site of tooth loss. A bridge is a fixed option but relies on the strength of the crowned teeth on either side. In the long run, implants tend to involve fewer downstream dental complications related to the replacement tooth.
Most patients return to office and desk work within two to three days of implant placement. Physical activity and heavy labor should be avoided for about a week. If you had IV sedation, plan not to drive or make significant decisions for the remainder of the day of surgery.
We perform the surgical component, meaning implant placement and any associated bone grafting. The final crown is typically placed by your general dentist or prosthodontist after osseointegration is confirmed. We coordinate closely with your referring provider and communicate about the case throughout the process.
Single implant placements are commonly performed under local anesthesia alone, which is comfortable for most patients. For patients who prefer deeper sedation, or for cases involving multiple implants or simultaneous bone grafting, IV sedation administered by our board-certified surgeons is available. We discuss the right option for your case during your consultation.
Bone loss is common when a tooth has been missing for some time, but it does not necessarily prevent implant placement. We evaluate bone volume using Cone Beam 3D imaging at your consultation. In many cases, bone grafting can restore sufficient volume for a stable implant. We assess this individually and give you honest guidance about what is possible given your current anatomy.
Century City professionals deserve oral surgery care that matches their standards. At Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center, you get board-certified surgeons, in-house 3D imaging, IV sedation capability, and a practice designed to serve the West LA corridor, all within a short drive from the Century City business district.
