Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they are the only solution that replaces both the visible tooth and the root beneath it. A titanium post is placed directly into the jawbone, where it fuses with the surrounding bone over time to create a permanent, stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or full arch prosthetic. The result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
At Exquisite Dental Implant Center, every implant is placed by Dr. Nathaniel Williams, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who has dedicated his entire career to surgical implant care. That level of specialization matters. General dentists may offer implants as one of many services, but an oral surgeon who performs implant placement every day brings a depth of training and case volume that directly impacts precision, healing, and long-term success.
No two patients walk through our door with the same situation, and no two treatment plans should look the same. If you are missing one tooth, a single tooth implant provides a standalone replacement that does not require altering the teeth next to it. For patients missing several teeth in a row, multi-tooth implants or an implant-supported bridge can fill the gap without the drawbacks of a traditional removable partial.
For patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, or who are tired of dealing with loose, uncomfortable dentures, a full arch solution may be the right fit. All-on-X full arch implants use as few as four strategically placed posts to support an entire set of fixed teeth. Snap-in dentures offer a more affordable alternative that clips onto implants for improved stability while still being removable for cleaning.
Every implant at our practice is placed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who completed his residency through the Harbor UCLA program. Dr. Williams does not split his time between cleanings and implant cases. His entire day is built around surgical implant care, which means you benefit from a provider who has seen virtually every clinical scenario and knows how to plan for it.
You will never be handed off to a provider you have not met. Dr. Williams personally reviews your imaging, develops your treatment plan, performs your surgery, and oversees your recovery. That continuity of care means nothing gets lost between appointments, and you always know exactly who is responsible for your outcome.
Many patients come to us after being told they are not candidates for implants at another office. Dr. Williams offers bone grafting, sinus lifts, and zygomatic implants that can make placement possible even in cases involving significant bone loss. Fewer patients hear "no" here because our surgical range is wider than what most practices can offer.
Most adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates. Dr. Williams uses 3D imaging during your consultation to evaluate your bone density, jaw structure, and overall oral health. If bone loss is a concern, procedures like bone grafting or zygomatic implants may still make treatment possible.
Most patients report less discomfort than they expected. We use local anesthesia for standard procedures, and for more complex cases like All-on-X, we work alongside a board-certified anesthesiologist to keep you comfortable throughout. Post-operative soreness is typically managed with over-the-counter medication within a few days.
It depends on the procedure. A single implant typically takes three to six months including healing time. All-on-X patients often leave with a temporary set of teeth the same day as surgery, with the final prosthetic placed once the implants have fully integrated.
We work with CareCredit, Cherry, Alpheon, and Sunbit, and accept HSAs and FSAs, so there’s a payment option for every budget.
