Whether you are missing a single tooth, several teeth, or facing multiple failing restorations, dental implants represent the gold standard in modern tooth replacement. At BB Dental Care in Burbank, CA, Dr. Bryanna Hubbard combines cutting-edge 3D Cone Beam CT digital guided surgery with specialized periodontal tissue management to deliver lifelong stability, full chewing power, and flawless smile aesthetics.
Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard
Unlike traditional dental bridges that require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth, or removable dentures that sit on top of the gums and slip during eating or speaking, a dental implant replaces the complete tooth structure—from root to crown:
- Natural Bone Stimulation: The biocompatible titanium post integrates directly into your jawbone through osseointegration, preventing bone loss and preserving your natural facial structure.
- Protects Healthy Adjacent Teeth: Neighboring teeth remain completely untouched and unaltered.
- 100% Chewing Strength: Enjoy crunchy, chewy, and fibrous foods with total confidence and zero discomfort.
- Lifelong Durability: With standard oral hygiene, dental implants have a documented 95%+ success rate and are engineered to last a lifetime.
The Three Anatomical Components
- Biocompatible Implant Post: An artificial titanium root surgically positioned into the jawbone that permanently bonds with natural bone tissue.
- Custom Precision Abutment: A connector piece that attaches securely to the implant post above the gumline.
- Artisan Ceramic Crown: A custom handcrafted porcelain or zirconia crown matched to the exact shade, translucency, and contours of your natural smile.
The Clinical Advantage: 3D Digital Guided Surgery
Implant success hinges on millimeter-accurate placement and healthy surrounding periodontal tissue. Dr. Hubbard holds an advanced degree in Periodontics from Brazil and completed post-graduate training in the Hospital Dentistry Program at UCLA School of Dentistry.
Using high-definition 3D Cone Beam CT imaging and digital intraoral scans, we map your nerve pathways, sinus cavities, and bone density virtually before ever touching a instrument. A customized computer-generated surgical guide is then used during the procedure to ensure the implant is inserted at the exact optimal angle, depth, and trajectory. This minimally invasive technique dramatically reduces surgical trauma, minimizes post-operative swelling, and accelerates healing.
Comprehensive Implant Options at BB Dental Care
- Single Tooth Replacements: Seamlessly replaces a missing front or back tooth without disturbing adjacent teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Replaces three or more consecutive missing teeth using just two implant anchors.
- All-on-4 & Full-Arch Restorations: A permanent, non-removable bridge anchored by four or six strategically angled implants to rebuild an entire arch of teeth. Explore All-on-4 Full Arch Implants →

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
The cost of dental implant treatment varies depending on the number of teeth being replaced, bone density, and the customized restoration required. At BB Dental Care, we believe in 100% financial transparency: we provide itemized treatment plans with no surprise fees, and partner with CareCredit and Cherry Financing to offer 0% interest promotional plans and flexible monthly payment options.
All-on-4 dental implants restore an entire arch of missing teeth using four strategically placed titanium posts, allowing patients to receive permanent non-removable teeth in a single visit.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Because bone tissue has very few pain-sensing nerve endings and our office utilizes 3D computer-guided precision, the placement is minimally invasive. We ensure the area is completely numb with local anesthetics, and our zero-anxiety comfort menu (noise-canceling headphones, heated neck pillows) keeps you calm throughout.
A traditional bridge requires grinding away the healthy outer enamel of the two adjacent teeth to anchor artificial crowns. In contrast, an implant is entirely self-supporting and replaces the missing tooth root, preserving natural bone and leaving neighboring teeth untouched.
Because of Dr. Hubbard's specialized periodontal and surgical background, we offer advanced bone grafting and sinus elevation procedures to rebuild deficient bone architecture prior to or during implant placement.
From initial 3D scan to final custom ceramic crown delivery, the process typically spans 3 to 6 months. This allows the implant post sufficient time to permanently fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration) before bearing full biting forces. Temporary aesthetic restorations are provided so you never have to go without teeth.
