Many offices refer implant patients out for surgery. At Noa Dental, our on-site periodontist/oral surgeon places the implant and Dr. Kim designs and fits the final crown โ same team, same records, same familiar faces. That means fewer hand-offs, clearer costs, and a smoother result.
The implant itself often lasts decades with good care; the visible crown may be replaced after 10โ15 years of normal wear.
Placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients say it was easier than they feared โ typically managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
No โ our on-site periodontist/oral surgeon places the implant, and Dr. Kim restores it. Everything happens in our Valencia office.
Implants can anchor bridges or stabilize dentures โ replacing several teeth without touching healthy neighbors. We'll map your options together.
