What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace the root of a missing tooth. Once they heal and bond to your jawbone, they’re topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. You can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, all without worrying about slipping or discomfort.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Most healthy adults are great candidates for implants. If you’re missing a tooth (or multiple), want a solution that feels natural, and are committed to caring for your smile, we’ll walk you through the next steps with care and transparency.
Your Implant Treatment Options
Single Tooth Implants
If you’re missing one tooth, a single dental implant offers a long-lasting solution that looks and feels just like your natural tooth. There’s no need to alter the healthy teeth next to it, and the final result blends in beautifully—restoring your bite and your confidence.
Multiple Implants
For patients missing several teeth, we offer implant-supported crowns or bridges to rebuild your smile without the bulk or looseness of removable dentures. You’ll be able to chew, speak, and smile again with the stability and strength that only implants can provide.

A Dentist Who Gets It
Modern Tools, Better Results
What to Expect When You Get a Dental Implant
Consultation & Digital Scan
We begin with a thorough consultation and a 3D digital scan of your mouth. This helps us check your bone structure and plan your treatment with accuracy—so we can deliver stable, lasting results that are tailored to your needs.
Implant Placement
Using guided technology, Dr. Nevid places your implant exactly where it needs to go. This approach minimizes discomfort and supports a quicker, smoother recovery. We’ll talk you through everything before we begin, so there are no surprises.
Healing Phase
After placement, your implant needs time to securely bond with your jawbone. This healing period typically lasts a few months. We’ll check in with you along the way to monitor your progress and keep things on track.
Final Tooth Placement
Once your implant is fully integrated, we attach a custom crown designed to match your surrounding teeth in shape, size, and color. You’ll be able to chew, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence, without thinking about your tooth again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can implants replace multiple missing teeth?
Yes. Implants can be used to support a single crown, a bridge to replace several teeth, or even full arch restorations. We’ll recommend the best approach depending on how many teeth are missing and the condition of your jawbone.
What makes someone a good candidate for dental implants?
You may be a candidate if you’re in good overall health, don’t smoke, and have healthy gums and enough bone to support an implant. If you’re unsure, we can assess everything during your consultation and let you know if implants are a safe and effective option for you.

How successful are dental implants?
When placed properly and maintained well, dental implants have a success rate of over 95%. At Bel Air Dental Arts, Dr. Nevid uses guided technology and evidence-based techniques to support strong, reliable outcomes.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies widely by plan. Some insurance policies cover part of the cost, while others may not include implants at all. We’ll review your benefits, explain your options, and help you access flexible financing if needed.
What technology do you use for implant treatment?
We use 3D CBCT imaging, iTero digital scanning, and computer-guided surgery to plan and place implants with precision. This advanced technology makes your treatment safer, more accurate, and more comfortable from start to finish.
How do I take care of my dental implants?
Caring for your implant is just like caring for a natural tooth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and stay up to date with your dental cleanings. There are no special tools or complicated steps, just consistent oral hygiene.
How long does the entire process take?
Most patients complete treatment in about 3 to 6 months, depending on how quickly the implant integrates with the bone. If you're receiving additional treatments (like bone grafting), your timeline may be a bit longer. We’ll give you a clear plan based on your needs.
Is the implant procedure painful?
We prioritize your comfort at every step. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and we offer sedation options if you’re feeling nervous. Most patients say the experience was easier than expected and that post-treatment discomfort is mild and manageable.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With daily brushing, flossing, and routine checkups, the implant itself can last a lifetime. The crown that attaches to it may need to be replaced after 10–15 years due to normal wear.
