Dental Implants
If you’ve never been a dental implant patient before, the concept and process can be confusing and foreign as implants are not what most people think of as day-to-day dentistry. However, implants quickly became the gold standard for tooth replacement after being introduced to dentistry in the early 1980s due to how versatile and predictable they are.
The Gold Standard of Dental Implants
No Detriment To Neighboring Teeth
Traditionally, if missing a tooth, the dentist would make a bridge. To fabricate a bridge, the neighboring tooth on either side of the space needs to be ground down to allow for a 3-unit bridge (3 crowns fused together that rest on the two teeth).
If the surrounding teeth did not need crowns then this process removes a major portion of healthy tooth unnecessarily. Bridges set those teeth up for difficulties in the future, such as the need for a root canal, the development of cavities in hard-to-fix areas (you can’t floss between the teeth when fused together), and fracture (we’re asking two teeth to do the work of three, and the supporting teeth have been whittled down).

I was really impressed with how patient Dr. Kezian was in explaining his goals for my dental implant, comparing his work with my other implants, his work is definitely of higher quality. I am very satisfied and will be happy to recommend to my friends and family...

Sedation
Despite all of these safety features, we understand the thought of implant placement can give patients anxiety, which is why we encourage our patients to take advantage of IV sedation. This makes the surgery a comfortable and forgettable experience.
IV sedation is a very safe method of anesthesia, where the medications are short-acting and reversible. You’ll feel like yourself again shortly after the procedure, and in case of an emergency, we can wake you up immediately, which is not the case in many general anesthesia procedures.
PRF for faster healing
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) can be incorporated into just about every oral surgery procedure: wisdom teeth, tooth extractions, implants, bone grafts, and sinus lifts.
Using PRF speeds up how quickly the surgical site heals by stimulating the body to accelerate its normal processes. This causes soft tissue (gums) to close faster and it has Bone Morphogenic Proteins (BMPs) that help create new bone quickly.

Lauren Orion12/16/2024I came across this dentist office using a quick google search as I was in need of a dentist ASAP and near by for a cracked tooth. I spoke with Dr Mike on the phone and he was able to see me immediately. He and his staff were very kind and accommodating. I have pretty bad anxiety when it comes to the dentist but Dr Mike was extremely kind and made me feel very comfortable before, during and after the procedure. I’m very happy with the results.

Monique Pahuja12/15/2024Dr. Michael Kezian was great! I was in pain and needed a second opinion about whether to get a tooth pulled. I was seen immediately upon arriving and was treated with kindness and respect. Dr. Micheal immediately found that I had a tooth that never grew out that was causing an infection. I was then provided a plan that did not involve getting my tooth immediately pulled. So thankful!read moreread less

Mark Plunkett10/27/2024I recently had a visit with “Dr. Steve” Kezian at Larchmont Dental Associates. I'm very glad I did. I have struggled with dental confidence for most of my adult life. I lost a crown and was experiencing sensitivity. I was nervous about seeing a dentist, as my teeth had not been cleaned for well over a year. The family at Dr. Kezian's office was super friendly and made me feel respected right away. The office is modern and clean, and the digital X-rays were quick and easy. Dr. Kezian is great — he explained everything clearly and laid out a plan to get my smile back on track. In just one visit, he took care of numerous fillings, put on a temporary crown, and gave my teeth a thorough cleaning. My mouth felt fantastic afterwards! It may sound silly, but I LOVE running my tongue over my teeth now… it has been a long time since I have had that feeling. I'm really grateful to have found Dr. Kezian and his team. If you're looking for a dentist, I'd definitely recommend..read moreread less
