A Comprehensive Approach to Implant Dentistry
Dental implant treatment often involves both a surgical phase and a restorative phase. Dr. Shams provides both aspects of implant care within the practice, allowing him to plan implant placement with the final restoration in mind.
This coordinated approach is particularly valuable when treating patients who need multiple implants or full-arch rehabilitation.
Dr. Shams provides treatment options for patients who are:
- Missing a single tooth
- Missing several teeth
- Struggling with loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Missing most or all of their teeth
- Experiencing failing or severely damaged teeth
- Considering a fixed full-arch implant restoration
- Seeking comprehensive functional and cosmetic smile rehabilitation
Every treatment begins with a detailed evaluation and personalized plan rather than a predetermined procedure.
Advanced Technology & Detailed Treatment Planning
Dr. Shams incorporates modern dental technology into implant diagnosis and treatment planning.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides three-dimensional views of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding anatomical structures. When appropriate, this information can be incorporated into digitally guided implant planning to determine implant position before surgery.
Careful planning allows Dr. Shams to consider not only where an implant can be placed, but how its position relates to the patient’s future crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration.
This restorative-driven approach is designed to bring together function, precision, and aesthetics throughout treatment.
Procedures Dr. Shams Performs
Single-Tooth Dental Implants
A single dental implant can replace an individual missing tooth with an implant-supported crown while preserving the neighboring natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
When several adjacent teeth are missing, strategically positioned dental implants can support a bridge that replaces multiple teeth without necessarily requiring an implant for every missing tooth.
Snap-On Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained removable dentures use dental implants for additional support and stability. They are designed to “snap” securely onto their implant attachments while remaining removable for cleaning.
3-on-6 Full-Arch Treatment
The 3-on-6 approach is a full-arch implant treatment that uses dental implants to support multiple fixed bridge segments. Patient anatomy, bone availability, oral health, and restorative goals are evaluated to determine whether this approach is appropriate.
All-on-4® Full-Arch Restoration
All-on-4 uses four strategically positioned dental implants to support a complete fixed arch of replacement teeth. Qualified patients may be able to receive a temporary set of teeth on the day their implants are placed.
Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Shams also provides cosmetic and restorative treatments designed to improve the appearance, function, proportion, and overall harmony of a patient’s smile.
Dentistry Built Around the Patient
Dr. Shams believes exceptional dentistry begins with understanding the person behind the smile.
He takes time to listen to each patient’s concerns, explain available options, and develop a treatment plan based on individual needs and goals. Patients are encouraged to understand not only what treatment is being recommended, but also why it may be appropriate.
Known for his calm demeanor, attention to detail, and efficient approach, Dr. Shams has built his Beverly Hills practice around advanced technology, clinical experience, and personalized patient care.
From the initial consultation through the final restoration, the goal is to make treatment organized, understandable, and comfortable while pursuing a result that looks natural and functions well.
A note from Dr. Shams. “My goal is simple — replace what’s missing so you can eat, speak, and smile without thinking about it. At our office, every patient is treated like family.”
