Restore Your Smile With Strength, Comfort, and Confidence
Missing teeth can affect how you look, how you eat, and how you feel every single day. If you’re ready for a long-lasting, natural-looking solution, dental implants at Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics can help you regain full function and a confident smile you’ll love sharing.
Our expert team provides advanced, comfortable implant care designed to replace missing teeth with results that look real, feel natural, and stand the test of time. Whether you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or want a more stable alternative to dentures, we tailor your treatment to your goals, budget, and long-term oral health needs.
Dental implants are the closest possible replacement to natural teeth, offering unmatched stability.
Each implant is finished with a custom crown that blends perfectly with your existing teeth.
No slipping or shifting. Implants restore full chewing power so you can enjoy all your favorite foods.
Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent the bone shrinkage that can cause a “sunken” facial appearance over time.
With proper care, the implant post can last a lifetime, making it a highly cost-effective solution.
Unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth for support.
You may benefit from a dental implant if you:
Have one or more missing teeth and want a permanent solution.
Want a stable, natural-feeling alternative to removable dentures.
Have healthy gums and adequate jawbone (or are open to a bone graft).
Want to prevent bone loss and preserve your natural facial structure.
Prefer a restoration that functions like a real tooth, allowing you to eat and speak normally.
Are in good overall health to support the natural healing process.
At Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics, we evaluate your bone density, gum health, and long-term goals to determine if an implant is the strongest, most aesthetic choice for your smile.
We utilize a precise, multi-step approach to ensure your implant is placed with maximum accuracy and comfort.
We begin with high-definition 3D CBCT scans to evaluate your jawbone and nerve paths. This allows us to digitally plan your implant placement before the procedure even begins, ensuring a highly predictable outcome.
Using a gentle, comfort-focused technique, the titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone. We offer sedation options to ensure your visit is entirely stress-free and painless.
Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your natural bone. This creates the “root” that provides the legendary strength and stability dental implants are known for.
Once healed, we take a digital impression (no messy putty) to craft your custom porcelain crown. This final piece is color-matched and shaped to be indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Choosing the right team for restorative care is key to rebuilding a healthy smile. Here’s what sets us apart:
We use advanced surgical guides and techniques for highly predictable, long-term success.
From 3D imaging to digital impressions, we invest in the tools that make your treatment faster and more accurate.
Our team is dedicated to a “no-anxiety” environment, focusing on painless techniques and patient comfort.
As specialists in both dentistry and orthodontics, we ensure your implant is placed in the ideal position for your bite and long-term alignment.
Our practice is built on honest recommendations and compassionate care for the Lakewood community.
We believe quality dental care should be accessible. We accept most PPO insurance plans and Medi-Cal. Our team will gladly help you verify your coverage before your procedure so there are no surprises. If you need additional help, we offer flexible payment plans to make your care affordable.

With proper care, the titanium post can last a lifetime. The porcelain crown on top typically lasts 10–15 years before needing a refresh due to normal wear.
Most patients report that the procedure is much easier than they expected. We use effective local anesthesia and offer sedation to ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire process.
The entire journey—from placement to the final crown—usually takes 3 to 6 months. This allows the bone to heal properly, ensuring your new tooth has a rock-solid foundation.
Implants are incredibly versatile. We can use them to support a single crown, an implant-supported bridge, or even a full set of “All-on-4” permanent dentures.
Not at all. We use high-quality porcelain or zirconia crowns and precisely place the titanium post beneath the gum line. This ensures that only your beautiful, natural-looking tooth is visible, maintaining a flawless and healthy aesthetic even when you laugh or smile widely.
Whether you’re looking for a boost in confidence or a healthier bite, Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics is here to guide you. No high-pressure sales—just expert advice and a clear path to your dream smile.
