At his dental spa, Dr. Vick Kargodorian offers a relaxing combination of skin rejuvenation and implant dentistry. Dental implants, available to residents of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, restore a full, beautiful smile by permanently replacing missing teeth.
Made of strong titanium posts that are inserted into the jawbone and topped with a natural-looking, comfortable porcelain crown, dental implants are available to residents of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and all of Southern California at Dr. Vick Kargodorian's private dental spa.
Dr. K has had great success with implant dentistry at his practice near West Hollywood. Dental implants that look natural and feel comfortable require a skilled cosmetic dentist. The placement of dental implants requires at least two visits to Dr. K. First, the titanium post is surgically placed in the jaw. After the jawbone has fused to the post and the gums have healed (this usually takes six to eight weeks), a porcelain crown is attached to the post, completing the procedure.
For patients who are interested in replacing missing teeth, dental implants may be an ideal solution. However, Dr. K offers other dental solutions to replace missing teeth at his Beverly Hills practice, including dentures. Many of Dr. K's patients undergo in-office ZOOM® teeth whitening before the placement of their dental implants to further improve their new smiles.
An implant dentistry specialist in the West Hollywood, California area, Dr. Vick Kargodorian can improve your smile and self-esteem with the placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth.

Soft tissue and oral plastic surgery are used to improve the aesthetics of the gum line. "Gummy smiles" can be addressed by reducing the gum line, giving teeth a longer appearance. Conversely, gum recession can cause the roots of teeth to become exposed, leaving them prone to infection. Oral plastic surgery can address this problem as well, through the use of soft tissue grafting. The advanced laser equipment Dr. K utilizes at his Beverly Hills dental spa ensures that patients will receive the most state-of-the-art dental care possible.
Soft tissue grafting and bone grafting are often used in conjunction with oral plastic surgery to treat receding gum lines. In the procedure, gum tissue is taken from the palate, or another donor site in the mouth, and moved to the new location. Soft tissue grafting to treat gum recession caused by periodontal disease or for aesthetic purposes is a highly successful procedure performed at Dr. Vick Kargodorian's relaxing dental spa in Beverly Hills, California.
Bone grafting is sometimes necessary in implant dentistry in the placement of dental implants. It is imperative that the titanium post is supported by the jawbone. When there isn't enough bone to ensure a strong implant, bone grafting can be implemented. There are several techniques Dr. K may use — the technique will depend on the individual case. Contact Dr. K for more information, or to schedule a FREE dental consultation at his Southern California dental spa.
Lip repositioning, also known as upper-lip lowering, is a procedure used to improve the aesthetic appearance of gummy smiles. In this procedure, Dr. K removes excess gum tissue from the inside of the upper lip, forming a new smile line. The result is a smile that shows more teeth, and less gums, providing more normalized movement for the upper lip.
