Restored Chewing
Replacing missing teeth returns your ability to eat a full diet rather than working around the foods you can still manage.
Are missing teeth affecting more than just your smile? At West Hollywood Dental Studio, we rebuild single gaps and full arches with restorations that look and function like natural teeth. Prosthodontics in West Hollywood, CA, restores your bite, your speech, and your confidence at the same time.
Prosthodontics is the area of dentistry focused on replacing missing teeth and restoring the function those teeth provided. Treatment ranges from a single implant and crown to a full arch supported by implants or a removable denture, and our dentist recommends the design that fits your bone, your goals, and your budget.
Replacing missing teeth returns your ability to eat a full diet rather than working around the foods you can still manage.
Implant-supported restorations stimulate the jawbone, slowing the resorption that naturally follows the loss of a tooth.
Rebuilding lost teeth reinforces the lips and cheeks, softening the collapsed profile that tends to come with tooth loss.
Closing an open space keeps the neighboring teeth from drifting and the opposing tooth from over-erupting into the gap.
Our tooth replacement options run from a single implant to a complete arch, and the right one depends on how many teeth you are missing and the bone supporting them.
Biocompatible titanium posts act as artificial roots, anchoring into the jawbone to support a crown, a fixed bridge, or a stabilized denture.
Learn MoreOne implant and a porcelain crown replace an individual missing tooth without reshaping the healthy teeth on either side of the open space.
Learn MoreFull and partial dentures replace an entire arch or fit in around your remaining healthy teeth, using one custom appliance you remove each night.
We replace one missing tooth or rebuild an entire arch, so your treatment is chosen around your bone, your goals, and how many teeth you have already lost.
Our implant procedure includes an initial exam and a 3D CT imaging scan, which lets us plan the position and the angle of every post well before surgery ever begins that day.
We use high-quality titanium posts and abutments made in the United States, finished with a crown milled from the highest grade of zirconia available to us for your restoration.
Real Patients, Real Stories
Thank you to Weho Dental studio and Dr Rivas for helping me get over my fear of going to the dentist. Felt immediately at home with her and her lovely staff. From the front desk to the hygienist, I really felt like they genuinely cared about my dental health, rather than some of the other offices I’ve been to that immediately tried to push tons of treatments. Dr Rivas and her staff took care of me, happy to call this my dental home. Thank you for making fillings and a crown a pleasant experience!
Dr. Rivas was awesome! Staff are great and friendly. I was surprised that my filling took less than an hour and I did not feel any inch of pain. The procedure was so smooth and appreciate that Dr. Lisa walked me through to every step. Highly recommended!
really lovely, kind staff— i felt at ease and taken care of! everything was explained to me, and the environment was serene. thank you dr rivas!
I reached out to Dr. Rivas regarding the extraction of my number 16 wisdom tooth. My previous dentist referred me to an oral surgeon who wanted to extract the other three wisdom teeth even though I am not experiencing any issues and during that time I never had any consultative discussions with the surgeon. I connected with Dr. Rivas and she was thorough and transparent when speaking over the phone and she shared that she would be able to extract my tooth. During the procedure, she was extremely caring, asked if I was numbed properly, and checked in with me frequently during the procedure. I did not feel a thing and I was shocked on how fast she was able to successfully extract my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Rivas and her staff and I commend them for their professionalism and caring nature. I live in the Inland Empire and will be driving to West Hollywood since Dr. Rivas will be my dentist moving forward.
