Implant Placement in Beverly Hills

The success of a dental implant starts with precise, expert placement. At Tooth Doctor LA in Beverly Hills, implant placement is performed by Dr. Ariel Farahi, MD, DMD, a dual-degree, board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon trained at the University of Pennsylvania and the Texas Medical Center.

What Is Implant Placement?

Implant placement is the surgical procedure in which a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone to serve as the root of a new tooth. This biocompatible post integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration.
