Why Irvine Patients Choose Dentistry At Its Finest for Dental Implants
Irvine is one of the most meticulously planned cities in the United States — a master-planned community developed by the Irvine Company, home to the University of California Irvine, the Irvine Spectrum Center, hundreds of corporate headquarters, the Great Park, and one of the highest-educated populations in Orange County. Irvine residents are research-driven, informed, and know the difference between a provider who says the right things and one who actually delivers results.
Over 4,000 dental implant surgeries. More than 400 five-star reviews. A team of six specialized doctors under one roof. No referrals to outside specialists for most cases. Those are the facts that Irvine implant patients find when they research Dentistry At Its Finest — and the reason they make the short drive from Irvine to Costa Mesa.
What makes the implant experience different here
- Over 4,000 implant surgeries performed since 2004. Dr. Ayzin is not learning on your case. He has placed implants in patients with varying bone density, prior extractions, failed previous implants, and complex full-arch cases. That volume of experience directly affects outcomes.
- Quick 30-minute consultation — for Irvine patients specifically. The consultation includes a comprehensive exam to determine implant candidacy, imaging review, and a clear discussion of options and costs before anything is scheduled.
- Same-day dental implants available. For eligible patients, teeth can be placed in a single visit — walking in with a gap and walking out with a new tooth the same day.
- Dedicated dental anesthesiologist on staff. Dr. Salman Hussain, a graduate of Loma Linda University’s Dental Anesthesiology program, is available for patients who need IV sedation for implant procedures.
- Advanced imaging technology. CAT scan imaging and advanced surgical planning software are used to map every implant case with precision — not guesswork.
Irvine patients note: Dentistry At Its Finest explicitly lists Irvine as one of its primary service areas. The practice is located at the CA-73 and CA-55 freeway junction in Costa Mesa — making it one of the most accessible dental implant providers for Irvine residents regardless of which part of Irvine they live in.
Understanding Dental Implants — What Irvine Patients Ask Before Scheduling
Irvine patients tend to arrive at their consultation with questions already researched. Here is a plain-language overview of the most important things to understand before choosing an implant provider.
What is a dental implant, exactly?
A dental implant is a three-part system that replaces both the visible tooth and the root beneath the gumline:
- The implant post — a small titanium screw surgically placed in the jawbone, which fuses with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration
- The abutment — a connector piece that attaches the post to the final restoration
- The crown — the visible, tooth-shaped restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth
The osseointegration process is what makes implants fundamentally different from dentures and bridges. The titanium post becomes part of the jaw — making the implant feel stable, preventing bone loss, and allowing normal bite function without slipping or adhesives.
Why bone loss matters — and why timing matters
When a tooth is lost or extracted, the jawbone beneath it begins to resorb — shrinking and weakening over time because there is no longer a root stimulating it. This process begins within weeks of tooth loss and accelerates over months and years. Patients who wait too long to replace a missing tooth may require bone grafting before an implant can be placed, adding cost and healing time. For Irvine patients who lost a tooth recently, moving quickly is genuinely in their clinical interest.
Clinical fact: The American Academy of Implant Dentistry reports a 95% success rate for dental implants. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime — making them the most cost-effective tooth replacement option over the long term despite the higher upfront cost.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with a missing tooth are candidates for dental implants. The key factors Dr. Ayzin evaluates during the consultation include:
- Sufficient jawbone density to support the implant post
- Healthy gums free of active periodontal disease
- Overall health history, including any conditions that affect healing
- Whether a bone graft is needed before implant placement
Patients who have been told elsewhere that they are not candidates are encouraged to schedule a second opinion. Dentistry At Its Finest regularly treats cases that other practices have declined.
Implant Options Available Near Irvine
Not every implant case is the same. Dentistry At Its Finest offers the full range of implant solutions — from a single missing tooth to full-arch restoration for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth.
| Situation | Implant Solution | What It Delivers |
|---|---|---|
| One missing tooth | Single dental implant + crown | Permanent, natural-looking replacement — no impact on adjacent teeth |
| Multiple adjacent missing teeth | Implant-supported bridge | Fixed, stable replacement for several teeth without removing healthy ones |
| Loose or uncomfortable denture | Implant-supported overdenture | Stable denture anchored to implants — no slipping, no adhesives |
| All or most teeth missing | All-on-4 or All-on-X implants | Full-arch fixed restoration on 4–6 implants — often same day |
| Patient eligible for immediate loading | Same-day dental implants (Teeth in a Day) | Implant placed and temporary teeth delivered in a single visit |
All-on-4 and All-on-X full-arch implants
For Irvine patients who have lost all or most of their teeth — or who are living with failing, unstable teeth — All-on-4 and All-on-X provide a permanent full-arch replacement on just four to six implants. This approach typically allows patients to receive temporary fixed teeth the same day as surgery, avoiding months of wearing conventional dentures during healing.
The difference between All-on-4 and All-on-X is primarily the number of implants used — with All-on-X offering greater support for patients with specific bone anatomy or load requirements. Dr. Ayzin evaluates each case individually and recommends the approach that provides the best long-term outcome for that specific patient.
consultation includes: A comprehensive exam, imaging review, and a personalized discussion of which implant approach is appropriate for your case — with honest cost and timeline information before you commit to anything. Call (949) 239-0020 to schedule.
Beyond Implants — Complete Dental Care for Irvine Patients
Most Irvine patients who come to Dentistry At Its Finest for an implant consultation end up receiving their complete ongoing care at the practice. Six specialized doctors under one roof means general, cosmetic, restorative, orthodontic, and emergency care are all available without referrals or transfers to other offices.
Laser dentistry — drill-free cavity treatment
Dr. Michael Ayzin is one of the few dentists in Southern California using advanced laser technology for cavity treatment. For Irvine patients who have avoided routine dental care because of anxiety about drilling, laser dentistry eliminates that barrier entirely — no drill, significantly less discomfort, and faster healing than traditional methods.

Sedation dentistry
Dentistry At Its Finest has a dedicated dental anesthesiologist on staff — Dr. Salman Hussain, a graduate of Loma Linda University’s two-year postdoctoral Dental Anesthesiology program.

The team will plan your visit accordingly.

I had an urgent dental problem and was looking for a good dentist for same-day treatment. And this place was the only one giving a fast response and appointment. Later, I did my Invisalign here — Dr. Ayzin was very professional and never tried to rush the procedure. He is truly responsible. I moved my living place due to my job change but I did not move my dental care hospital — Dentistry at Its Finest!

Frequently Asked Questions — Implant Dentist near Irvine
How long does the implant process take from start to finish?
For most single implant cases, the full process — from initial placement to final crown — takes three to six months. The longest part is osseointegration, the period during which the titanium post fuses with the jawbone. During this time, a temporary tooth is typically placed so there is no visible gap. Same-day implants compress the process significantly for eligible patients — the implant and a temporary crown are placed in one visit.
Does the implant procedure hurt?
During placement, local anesthesia eliminates discomfort. IV sedation is available through Dr. Hussain for patients who want to be fully unaware during the procedure. Post-procedure, most patients report mild soreness for a few days — comparable to a tooth extraction — managed effectively with over-the-counter pain relievers.
What does a dental implant cost near Irvine?
The cost of a single dental implant — including the post, abutment, and crown — typically ranges from $3,000 to $5,000 depending on complexity. All-on-4 and All-on-X full-arch solutions vary based on case specifics. Quick 30-minute consultation includes an honest cost discussion and a full financing overview. Call (949) 239-0020 to schedule.
Do you accept my dental insurance for implants?
Dentistry At Its Finest accepts all PPO dental insurance plans. Most plans cover part of the implant cost — typically the crown portion. Call to verify your specific plan before your consultation. The team files claims on your behalf and will give you a clear picture of out-of-pocket costs before any procedure begins.
I was told I don’t have enough bone for an implant. Is that final?
Not necessarily. Bone grafting — adding bone material to strengthen the jaw before implant placement — is a routine procedure that Dr. Ayzin performs regularly. Patients told elsewhere they were not implant candidates are strongly encouraged to schedule a second opinion. Dentistry At Its Finest treats complex cases that other practices have declined.
Can I get same-day dental implants?
Yes, for eligible patients. Same-day dental implants — also called Teeth in a Day — allow the implant post and a temporary crown to be placed in a single visit. Dr. Ayzin evaluates candidacy during the consultation. Patients with adequate bone density and no active gum disease are often eligible. Call (949) 239-0020 to find out if you qualify.

★★★★★ — Rea Anderson
Dr. Ron Ayzin was competent and efficient, and the work was completed quickly. The ordering of the parts that matched the implant took the longest part of the process but was still worth the wait because now I have a new sturdy tooth that looks just like my natural ones.
