Dental Implants in Encino
At Clove Dental, we’re proud to offer top-tier dental implant services to the Encino community. Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that restores not only your smile but also your oral health and confidence.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants fuse with the bone, creating a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, offering a durable and hassle-free solution to tooth loss.
Signs You Might Need Dental Implants
You may be a candidate for dental implants if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth and want a permanent replacement.
- Struggle with dentures or bridges that feel uncomfortable or loose.
- Experience difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth.
- Are concerned about jawbone loss or facial sagging caused by prolonged tooth loss.
- Desire a natural-looking, long-term solution to restore your smile.
Our skilled team in Encino will evaluate your oral health to determine whether dental implants are the right choice for you.

The Dental Implant Procedure
At Clove Dental in Encino, we’ve designed our dental implant process to prioritize your comfort and success:
- Initial Consultation
During your first visit, we’ll assess your oral health using advanced imaging to ensure your jawbone can support implants. If necessary, we may recommend bone grafting to strengthen the jaw. - Implant Placement
The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over the next several months, it integrates with the bone, creating a stable base for the restoration. - Abutment Attachment
Once the implant has healed, a small connector piece, called an abutment, is attached to the implant. This serves as the anchor for your new tooth. - Custom Restoration
A crown, bridge, or denture is custom-crafted to match your natural teeth and securely attached to the abutment, completing your smile restoration.
FAQs About Dental Implants
