Dental Implants

Dental implants from Dr. Sahar Verdi and Dental Specialists of California are the gold standard for the replacement of missing or damaged teeth, restoring lost function, protecting oral health, and recreating beautiful smiles. Patients prefer implants because they look and function essentially the same as natural teeth. They are also the only solution for lost teeth that stop the loss of precious bone tissue from the jaw.

A highly experienced researcher and leader in implantology, a dedicated clinician, and a noted teacher in the dental field, Dr. Sahar Verdi is arguably Southern California’s leading expert in the science and art of fully functional, attractive oral implants. Dr. Verdi and her entire team at her Thousand Oaks office always put patients’ welfare and comfort first and achieve consistently outstanding outcomes.

Health Benefits of Dental Implants

It is essential to replace missing teeth to prevent infection and to aid in proper nutrition but that isn’t the entire story. Dental implants replace the missing roots of teeth and mimic the stimuli that natural teeth place on underlying bone structure, encouraging bone tissue production. Without it, the jaw may shrink, causing disfigurement and other potential complications, including the loss of more teeth down the line and still further bone loss.

The Comfort-Oriented Approach to Dental Implants

As a leader in oral health and an expert in avoiding discomfort, Dr. Verdi typically performs procedures with a local anesthetic. She understands, however, that many patients are made anxious by dental procedures. Therefore, she offers both IV sedation and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as options to help patients get through their work comfortably and calmly.

The Advanced Approach to Dental Implants

Dr. Verdi takes advantage of the latest advances in healthcare technology. She employs the latest 3D imaging technology with the Planmeca CT scan because she knows that accurate data leads to correct diagnoses.

Type of Implants

Because of the complexity of patient needs, only a consultation with Dr. Verdi can determine what type of implant best suits your needs. Our options include:

• Single and Multiple Implants: Verdi will expertly replace your missing or extracted teeth with a corresponding number of implants. The patient leaves the office with one or more temporary prosthetic tooth which is each replaced with a fully functional permanent tooth after healing has been completed.

• All-on-4 or All-on-6 Implants: When several teeth are missing, these types of implants use four or six dental implants to anchor an entire row of teeth. In one day, patients missing as can leave our office with a completely natural-looking set of temporary teeth and a fully restored smile.

• Full Arch Implant: This is an advanced procedure that may eliminate the need for additional preparatory procedures in some cases. Like the All-on-4 option, a full arch implant replaces groups of teeth.

• Implant Care: Dental implants are, for all intents and purposes, exactly like teeth – which means they are still vulnerable to issues such as infections, especially if dental hygiene is not ideal. When problems arise, Dr. Verdi can assist in treating infected tissue and restoring a healthy smile.

Are You Ready for Dental Implants?

Before an implant is performed, there must be sufficient bone structure. In some cases, additional procedures may be required to prepare for implants. As a board-certified periodontist.
