Full-Mouth Dental Implants in Burbank, CA

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 consultation to help you understand your options and costs before committing to anything.

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.

Dr. Liyan Massaband, DMD, MPH

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.

Dental implant pricing depends on the number of implants, the type of restoration, and whether preparatory work such as bone grafting is needed. At Magnolia Dentistry, we believe in full transparency, so at your consultation, you receive a detailed, itemised treatment plan before any commitment is made.

General cost ranges at our Burbank practice:

• Single tooth implant (titanium post + custom crown): $1,500 – $3,500
• Implant-supported bridge (3 teeth): $3,500 – $6,500
• All-on-4 full arch restoration: $15,000 – $30,000 per arch
• All-on-6 full arch restoration: $18,000 – $35,000 per arch
• Bone grafting (when needed): $500 – $3,000
• 3D cone beam CT scan: included in your consultation at Magnolia Dentistry

Does insurance cover dental implants?

Many PPO dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, and MetLife, offer partial coverage for implant-related procedures such as the crown, bone grafting, or extraction. Our front desk team will verify your benefits before your consultation and handle all insurance claims on your behalf.

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 consultation. We’ll take 3D imaging and give you an honest assessment, no pressure, no commitment.

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.

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.

Here is exactly what to expect when you choose Magnolia Dentistry for your dental implants in Burbank:

1. 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.
