Dental Implants Glendale | Gevik Marcarian, DDS

Give your smile a permanent foundation. Replace missing teeth with natural-looking implants comfortably and with lasting results.

A Permanent Solution

A missing tooth is more than a gap in your smile. Over time, the surrounding teeth begin to shift, the jawbone underneath starts to shrink, and everyday tasks like eating and speaking can become genuinely frustrating. Dental implants address all of these issues, permanently.

How Dental Implants Work

A titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial root. Over a few months, the post fuses with your bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a rock-solid foundation. A custom-made crown is then attached on top so that it looks, functions, and feels just like a natural tooth.

Why So Many Patients Choose Dental Implants

Implants stand apart from dentures and bridges in many ways:

Fixed in Place: Implants are secured directly into the jawbone. There’s no slipping, no adhesive, and no taking them out at night.
Natural Look: Each crown is custom-made to match the exact shape and shade of your other teeth so that once it is placed, your smile looks completely natural.
Prevents Bone Loss: The titanium post stimulates the jawbone just like a natural tooth root, preventing bone deterioration that begins when a tooth is lost.
Eat Anything You Want: Because implants are anchored so securely, you can eat all the foods you enjoy without worrying. No dietary restrictions, no discomfort.
Built to Last a Lifetime: Dental implants are among the most durable tooth-replacement options available. With good care and regular checkups, they can last decades.

The Implant Process

At our Glendale location, we follow a precise, multi-step approach to ensure the best results:

Initial Consultation & Evaluation: Dr. Marcarian assesses your oral health and determines if implants are right for you.
Custom Crown Fabrication: A custom crown is molded to match the look and feel of your natural teeth.
Implant Post Placement: A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone to act as a new tooth root.
Healing Phase (Osseointegration): Over the next several months, your jawbone grows around the titanium post in a natural bonding process.
Final Adjustments: Once the implant has integrated fully with your bone, the custom crown is securely attached. The bite and appearance are adjusted before you leave to ensure a comfortable fit.

What Makes Dental Implants Different?

Dental implants are unique because they replace both the visible tooth and its root. This root replacement is what gives implants their superior strength and long-term reliability compared to traditional options.

Dental Implants FAQ

Q: Are dental implants better than dentures and bridges?
A: Dental implants offer advantages that dentures or bridges do not. Traditional dentures rest on the gum surface and can shift during eating or speaking. Bridges require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth. Implants, on the other hand, look, feel, and function more like natural teeth because they are attached directly to the bone, allowing you to eat and speak with ease. However, the best option depends on your individual needs and oral health.

Q. What are the different types of implant solutions?
A. Depending on your needs, dental implants can be used to replace:

A single missing tooth
Multiple missing teeth with an implant-supported bridge
A full arch of teeth with implant-supported dentures

This flexibility makes implants one of the most versatile solutions in modern dentistry.

Q. Do implants change the way you talk or eat?
A. Dental implants are designed to fit seamlessly into your life. Once complete, you can:

Eat your favorite foods
Speak clearly and comfortably
Enjoy a confident, natural-looking smile

With proper care and regular dental visits, your implants can remain strong and functional for years to come.

Q. Can dental implants fail?
A. While dental implants have a very high success rate, failure can occur in rare cases due to infection, poor healing, or lack of proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental visits greatly reduces this risk. Your dentist will monitor your implants to ensure they remain healthy and stable over time.
