Dental Implants in Carmel Valley
Permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement
Dental implants at Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley start at $3,000 and are placed by Dr. Maggie Abadan using 3D cone beam imaging — the same precision technology used in oral surgery centers. Your free consultation includes a full scan and a clear cost breakdown.
Dental implants at Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley cost $3,000–$6,000 per implant and are placed entirely in-house by Dr. Maggie Abadan, DDS — no specialist referrals, no separate surgical center. A titanium post is set into the jawbone where the root used to be, the bone grows around it through osseointegration, and after 3–6 months a custom porcelain crown is attached on top. The result looks like a tooth, bites like a tooth, and with normal care, lasts decades. Dr. Abadan uses 3D cone beam imaging before every placement so position and angle are planned precisely before anything touches your jaw.
Single missing tooth. Several missing teeth. Or all of them: Dr. Abadan places single implants, implant-supported bridges, and All-on-4 full-arch restorations. For the right candidate, same-day implant procedures mean you can come in with a missing tooth and leave with a temporary crown the same afternoon. Your first visit includes a full evaluation and 3D scan — no cost, no obligation — so you know exactly what you're looking at before making any decision.

Are dental implants painful?
Most patients at our Carmel Valley office report far less discomfort than expected. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so you feel no pain during placement, and sedation options are available for anxious patients. Mild soreness in the days following is common and typically managed with over-the-counter pain relievers — most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
How long do dental implants last?
The titanium implant post is designed to last a lifetime — it fuses permanently with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, making it as stable as a natural tooth root. The porcelain crown on top typically lasts 15–25 years with proper brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups at our Carmel Valley office. Implants have the highest long-term success rate of any tooth replacement option.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. The key requirements are sufficient jawbone density and healthy gums — and if bone loss has occurred, Dr. Abadan performs bone grafts in-house to restore the foundation before implant placement. At your free consultation in Carmel Valley, she will take a 3D scan and give you a clear yes or no along with all your options.
