Dental Implants in Burbank, CA
It’s Time to Stop Hiding Your Smile
Dr. Liyan Massaband, DMD, MPH, has been placing dental implants in Burbank, CA, for over 15 years. With more than 1,000 successful implant procedures, including single-tooth implants, All-on-4, and full-arch restorations, she brings surgical precision and genuine understanding of how missing teeth affect everyday life. If you’re in Burbank and looking for a dental implant specialist you can trust, Magnolia Dentistry offers a free consultation to help you understand your options and costs before committing to anything.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most natural and permanent tooth replacement option available today. At its core, an implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone. Titanium is used because it naturally fuses with living bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a root-level foundation that no other replacement can match.
Once healed, the implant supports a crown (for a single tooth), a bridge (for multiple teeth), or a full-arch restoration such as All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don’t rely on neighbouring teeth and actively preserve jawbone density over time.
In my 15 years placing implants in Burbank, I’ve seen firsthand how restoring a patient’s teeth restores far more than their smile; it changes how they eat, speak, laugh, and feel about themselves.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer
At Magnolia Dentistry, we offer every major implant option, so your treatment plan is built around your needs, not limited by what we provide. Dr. Massaband will recommend the right type based on the number of missing teeth, your bone density, and your long-term goals.
Single Tooth Dental Implants
A single implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post and a custom porcelain crown. It’s the most conservative option; no neighbouring teeth are touched, and the result looks and functions exactly like a natural tooth. Ideal for patients missing one or two individual teeth.
All-on-4 Dental Implants in Burbank
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement using just four strategically angled implants to support a complete, fixed set of teeth. It’s the most popular full-arch solution because it often eliminates the need for bone grafting, and many patients receive same-day temporary teeth on the day of surgery.
Dr. Massaband has completed All-on-4 restorations for patients across Burbank who had significant tooth loss, failing teeth, or loose dentures they could no longer tolerate. The result is a permanent, non-removable arch that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
- Best for: Patients missing most or all teeth on one arch
- Often no bone graft required
- Same-day temporary teeth available for qualifying patients
- Full osseointegration: 3–6 months; final restoration attached after healing
All-on-6 Dental Implants
All-on-6 follows the same principle as All-on-4 but uses six implants per arch. The additional two implants provide greater distribution of bite force, making it the preferred option for patients with good bone density who want maximum long-term stability, or for patients with heavier bite patterns.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures (also called overdentures) snap onto two to four implants, providing far more stability than traditional dentures while being removable for cleaning. They’re a more affordable entry point for full-arch restoration, and can be upgraded to a fixed All-on-4 restoration later.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a good fit for a wide range of patients. In my practice, the patients who benefit most are:
- Adults with one or more missing teeth who want a permanent, low-maintenance solution
- Patients with loose, painful, or ill-fitting dentures that affect how they eat or speak
- Patients who need a tooth extracted and want to avoid bone loss in that area
- Patients who were told they “couldn’t” get implants due to bone loss, modern bone grafting techniques have made implants possible for the vast majority of those patients
- Patients who want a fixed, non-removable full arch to replace failing or missing teeth on the upper or lower arch
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, the best next step is a free consultation. We’ll take 3D imaging and give you an honest assessment, no pressure, no commitment.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer advantages that no other tooth replacement can match. Here’s what my patients notice most:
- Jawbone preservation: When a tooth is lost, the bone beneath it begins to shrink within months. Implants are the only restoration that stimulates the bone the way a natural root does, preventing the sunken facial appearance that long-term denture wearers often develop.
- Stability no other option can match: Implants are anchored in bone. They don’t slip when you eat steak, bite an apple, or laugh, something denture wearers quickly come to appreciate.
- Caring for implants is simple: Brush, floss, and come in for your regular cleaning: no adhesives, no removal at night, no special soaking solutions.
- Long-term value: While implants have a higher upfront cost than dentures or bridges, they typically outlast both; the titanium post can last a lifetime, and the crown 10–15+ years. Many patients find the total cost of ownership lower over 20 years.
Adjacent teeth are not touched: Unlike a bridge, implants don’t require grinding down healthy neighbouring teeth. Your intact teeth stay exactly as they are.
Do I Need Bone Grafting for Dental Implants?
Healthy jawbone density is what makes implant placement possible and long-lasting. After a tooth is lost, the bone in that area naturally begins to shrink; in some patients, this happens quickly, in others more slowly.
When bone grafting is needed:
- A tooth has been missing for more than several months and bone volume has decreased
- A tooth was extracted due to infection or abscess that damaged surrounding bone
- Periodontal (gum) disease has caused bone loss around existing teeth
At Magnolia Dentistry, we use 3D cone beam CT imaging to measure your bone volume precisely. Many patients who expect to need a graft discover they have sufficient bone for immediate implant placement. For those who do require grafting, the procedure is typically performed at the same appointment as the extraction or as a separate minor outpatient procedure.
Bone grafting adds approximately 3–4 months to the overall timeline while the graft integrates. This is time well spent; a properly grafted site creates a foundation that supports your implant for decades. All grafting at Magnolia Dentistry is included in your treatment plan with transparent pricing before you begin.
The Dental Implant Process at Magnolia Dentistry
Here is exactly what to expect when you choose Magnolia Dentistry for your dental implants in Burbank:
1. Free Consultation + 3D Imaging (Week 1)
We take a cone beam CT scan (3D X-ray) that shows your bone volume, nerve positions, and sinus anatomy in detail. Dr. Massaband reviews the scan with you on-screen, explains your options, and provides a written treatment plan with itemised costs before you leave. No charge, no pressure.
2. Preparatory Work if Needed (Weeks 2–6)
Any necessary extractions, periodontal treatment, or bone grafting are completed. Most patients find this stage more comfortable than they expected, we use local anaesthetic and sedation is available.
3. Implant Placement Surgery (1–2 hours)
The titanium post is placed precisely using the 3D plan as a guide. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic; most patients report mild pressure but no pain. For All-on-4 cases, temporary teeth are often fitted the same day.
4. Healing / Osseointegration (3–6 months)
The implant fuses with your jawbone over 3–6 months. Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 days. We schedule follow-up visits at 2 weeks and 3 months to monitor healing.
5. Final Restoration (1–2 appointments)
Once healing is confirmed, the abutment and your custom crown, bridge, or arch are fitted and adjusted for bite and aesthetics. Most patients describe the final result as feeling completely natural within days.
Dental Implants FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
In my Burbank practice, I’ve placed 1,000+ implants, and the vast majority of patients who maintain good oral hygiene and come in for 6-month checkups retain their implants for 20+ years. The titanium post itself doesn’t degrade; it typically lasts a lifetime. The crown usually needs replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear. I have patients from my early practice years (15+ years ago) still presenting with perfectly functioning implants today.
— Dr. Massaband
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most non-smoking adults with reasonable general health are good candidates. The key factors I assess are: bone volume and density at the implant site, gum health, and any systemic conditions that affect healing (such as uncontrolled diabetes). If you’ve been told in the past that you ‘don’t have enough bone,’ please come in for a consultation; modern bone grafting has changed what’s possible for the large majority of those patients.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
Most patients tell me they were surprised by how comfortable the procedure was. We use local anaesthetic for placement, so during the surgery you’ll feel pressure but not pain. Post-operative soreness is real, typically a 3–5 out of 10 for the first 2 days, well managed with over-the-counter ibuprofen/paracetamol. By day 3–4, the majority of patients are eating soft foods and back to normal activity. Sedation is available for patients with dental anxiety.
How much do dental implants cost in Burbank?
Single tooth implants at our Burbank practice range from $1,500–$3,500 (post and crown). All-on-4 full arch restorations range from $15,000–$30,000 per arch. These are general ranges; your exact cost depends on your clinical situation and is provided in full at your free consultation. See the full pricing section above for a complete breakdown.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Many PPO plans (Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife) provide partial coverage for the crown, bone grafting, or related extractions, even if the titanium post itself isn’t covered. Our front desk team will verify your exact benefits before your consultation at no charge. We’ve helped hundreds of Burbank patients maximise their coverage for implant treatment.
How long does implant healing take?
Soft tissue healing after placement is 1–2 weeks. Full osseointegration, the implant fusing with your jawbone, takes 3–6 months. However, most patients return to normal daily activity within 2–3 days. For All-on-4 cases, temporary fixed teeth are placed the same day, so you leave the surgery with a complete smile and only dietary soft restrictions for the healing period.
