Dental Implants in Las Vegas
A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental Implants Las Vegas
A missing tooth affects more than your appearance. It changes how you chew, how you speak, and over time it can cause the surrounding teeth to shift and the jawbone to deteriorate. Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth that modern dentistry can offer, and at Sahara Dental Center, Dr. Shiva Keshmiri has the advanced training to place and restore them right here in Las Vegas.
An implant consists of a titanium post that is placed into the jawbone, an abutment that connects it to the surface, and a custom crown that looks and functions like a real tooth. We offer single tooth implants, implant-supported bridges for multiple missing teeth, and implant-supported dentures for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Most adults with good general health are candidates for dental implants. The key requirements are healthy gums and enough bone density to support the implant post. Dr. Keshmiri will review your X-rays and dental history at your consultation and let you know exactly what is involved. If bone grafting is needed, we will discuss that as part of the treatment plan so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses with the jawbone and is designed to be permanent. The crown attached to it typically lasts 15 to 20 years before it may need to be replaced, depending on wear.
The placement is done under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure itself. Some soreness and swelling in the days after is normal and manageable with over-the-counter medication. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the recovery is.
The full process typically takes three to six months from placement to final crown. After the post is placed, there is a healing period of several months while the implant fuses with the bone. Once healed, the abutment and custom crown are attached. Dr. Keshmiri will give you a clear timeline at your consultation.
Yes. Implant-supported bridges can replace several adjacent missing teeth without touching the surrounding healthy teeth. For patients who need full arch restoration, implant-supported dentures offer a stable, permanent alternative to traditional removable dentures. Dr. Keshmiri will walk you through all the options based on your situation.
Coverage varies by plan. Some insurance plans cover parts of the implant process, such as the crown or the extraction of the failing tooth. We will review your benefits at your first visit and discuss flexible payment options so cost does not stand in the way of treatment.
