What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that's placed in your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it heals, it's topped with a custom crown, bridge, or denture, creating a strong, stable, natural-looking replacement. Unlike other options, implants replace the entire tooth, root and all, which helps preserve your jawbone and keeps neighboring teeth intact. At Lava Dental, we offer everything from single-tooth implants to full-arch solutions, all planned with precision and care.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Function
Anchored in your jaw, implants let you bite, chew, and speak just like you would with your own natural teeth.
Permanent Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them the most durable way to replace missing teeth.
Bone Preservation
By replacing the tooth root, implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent the bone loss that follows missing teeth.
Natural Appearance
Topped with a custom crown, an implant blends seamlessly with your smile and looks completely natural.

I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷
I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.
Dr. Milad Balaei is truly one of the best dentists I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. He is incredibly professional, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done perfectly and pain-free. He takes the time to explain every step, which builds so much trust and confidence. The results are always amazing, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei
So far, my experience with Lava Dental has been great. I arrived feeling nervous and anxious about my teeth, but the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. I had an extraction done, and the process was quick and far less unpleasant than I expected.
