Dental implants are titanium posts placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth at the root. If you’ve lost a tooth, implants offer a reliable, long-term solution that supports both oral health and natural appearance. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants integrate with your bone, preserving facial structure and preventing further bone loss. At Los Angeles Oral and Facial Surgery, Dr. Tow takes a tailored, patient-first approach to treatment. Using in-house 3D technology and a full-service anesthesia suite, we ensure your implant journey is comfortable and grounded in precision. Schedule your appointment today.
Implants fuse with the jawbone and serve as long-term anchors for crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations.
Implants restore bite strength and alignment while also improving the appearance of your smile and facial structure.
Implants help maintain the jawbone’s integrity and prevent the sunken appearance that often follows tooth loss.
Your journey starts with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Tow. Using Carestream CBCT scans and a Straumann intraoral scanner, we’ll assess your bone health, tooth loss pattern, and ideal treatment options. Patients are never rushed; Dr. Tow takes the time to explain every choice clearly.
If you're a candidate for implants, we’ll use digital scans and in-house 3D printing to create precise surgical guides tailored to your anatomy. This helps ensure your placement is as accurate and minimally invasive as possible.
Your implant is placed during a precise, in-office surgical procedure with IV sedation available in our full-service anesthesia suite for a calm, controlled experience. When appropriate, we offer immediate implants with same-day or next-day temporary crowns, so you’re never without a tooth for long. We use Straumann or BioHorizons implants based on what best fits your anatomy and long-term success—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After the implant is placed, it typically takes a few months for the post to fuse with your bone. Once it’s healed, we’ll coordinate with your restorative dentist to complete the process with a natural-looking crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis.
With proper care, dental implants can last decades. The titanium post integrates with your bone permanently, and restorations like crowns may eventually need maintenance or replacement depending on use.
You’ll be sedated during the procedure, and most patients report minimal discomfort after surgery. Dr. Tow and his team prioritize comfort and will guide you through recovery with clear instructions and support.
Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone volume qualify for implants. During your consultation, we’ll take 3D scans and evaluate your medical history to determine the safest and most effective path forward.
