How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Beverly Hills, CA?

Published by Beverly Hills Dental.

If you're missing a tooth or you've been told a tooth needs to come out, one of your first questions is probably what dental implants cost in Beverly Hills. The answer depends on your mouth: how many teeth you're replacing, whether your jawbone needs support first, and what your insurance covers. Below, we walk through what moves the number, how insurance and financing fit in, and how you get a written plan before any treatment begins.

How much do dental implants cost in Beverly Hills?

The cost of a dental implant depends on how many teeth you're replacing, whether you need a bone graft first, the replacement tooth that goes on top, and your insurance. Your price comes from your own exam, because two people asking about the same implant can need very different treatment.

At your first visit, Dr. Nader sits down with you and asks what's going on and what you're hoping for. Then we take a full set of X-rays and a wellness scan that shows your teeth in detail on screen. You get a clear, written plan with costs up front before treatment starts, and we'll go over it as many times as you need.

What changes the price of a dental implant?

A handful of factors account for most of the difference between one implant plan and another.

• How many teeth you're replacing. One missing tooth is a smaller plan than full-mouth implants, which Dr. Nader also treats.
• Your jawbone. An implant is a post placed in your jaw, and your bone heals around it to hold it in place. If your jawbone isn't thick enough, you may need a bone graft before dental implant surgery, which adds a step to your plan.
• The implant material. Many implants are made of titanium. Dr. Nader places metal-free zirconia implants, and you can read more about our metal-free dental implant options.
• The tooth on top. Once the implant has healed, a replacement tooth is attached, and the kind of replacement you need is part of your estimate.
• Your timeline. Healing around an implant can take several months, and some patients can have the implant and replacement teeth placed in one visit, according to the American Dental Association.

Once we've reviewed your X-rays and scan, each of these factors goes into your written plan, so the number you see reflects your own treatment.

Does dental insurance help pay for implants?

That depends on your plan. The fastest way to find out is to call or text 310-278-6630 with your plan details, and we'll check your coverage for you. We explain in plain language what your plan covers and what it doesn't, before any treatment.

We're in-network with Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier, along with Cigna, MetLife, Guardian and Aetna PPO plans. If you have a PPO plan we aren't contracted with, we'll bill it out-of-network as a courtesy so you can still use your benefits with us. We aren't able to accept dental HMO or DMO plans, Medicare dental plans or Denti-Cal, so a quick call saves you guessing. Full details are on our finances and insurance page.

To spread the cost of treatment over time, we offer third-party financing through CareCredit, Cherry and Lending Club. Monica, our treatment coordinator, has handled treatment plans and insurance questions alongside Dr. Nader for 25 years. She'll walk you through your options with no pressure.

Is it worth getting dental implants at 70 years old?

Age alone doesn't rule you out. Your general health is more of a factor than your age, so if you're in good health, implants may be an option for you at 70 and beyond.

Some chronic conditions, such as diabetes, and tobacco use can affect how well you heal after implant surgery. That's why Dr. Nader asks about your full medical history before recommending a plan. You'll get clear options laid out in order of priority, including the option to do nothing for now.

Why do Beverly Hills patients choose Dr. Nader at Beverly Hills Dental for implants?

Patients choose Dr. Nader Afshari, DDS, for metal-free implants and a visit that never feels rushed. As he puts it: "We don't use metal, we don't use titanium, we use zirconia. Just a natural looking result."

Dr. Nader has 30 years of experience and implant training from UCLA. He trained in a program where he learned to handle complex cases himself instead of sending them away, and that's still how he practices today.

Your time with him is one-on-one. "All of our patients are booked one at a time," Dr. Nader says, so your consultation stays private and focused on you. He speaks English, Spanish, Italian and Persian, so you can talk through your implant plan in the language you're most comfortable with. Our office is on the ninth floor at 414 N Camden Dr, one block from Rodeo Drive, with valet parking in the building.
