Patients who come in for implant consultations at City of Angels Dentistry often arrive expecting to be pushed into treatment. Dr. Kevin Chin's approach is the opposite — the consultation is designed to give you accurate information about your specific situation, compare the options honestly, and let you make the decision at your own pace. He's been placing implants in Downtown Los Angeles since 2018, and he's equally comfortable telling a patient an implant is the right call as he is recommending a bridge or other approach when that serves the patient better.
Dr. Chin reviews current X-rays or takes new ones to evaluate bone volume and density at the implant site. This determines whether bone grafting is needed before implant placement.
Based on your bone health, gum health, and overall oral health, Dr. Chin determines whether you're a direct candidate for implant placement or whether preparatory steps are needed. He compares implants against bridges and other alternatives for your specific situation.
You leave with a written treatment plan including all steps, the timeline from start to finish, and clear pricing. No commitment is required at the consultation.
A dental implant consultation at City of Angels Dentistry covers everything you need to know to make an informed decision — candidacy, timeline, cost, and how implants compare to other options for your specific tooth. Same-week appointments available in Downtown LA.
A dental implant consultation at City of Angels Dentistry is a comprehensive assessment of your candidacy for dental implant treatment. Dr. Kevin Chin evaluates bone volume and density, gum health, and overall oral health to determine whether implant placement is appropriate and what the complete treatment process would involve.
Good implant candidates have adequate bone volume and density at the implant site, healthy gum tissue, no uncontrolled systemic conditions that affect healing, and realistic expectations about the timeline and process. Patients who smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, or have had significant bone loss may still be candidates with appropriate preparatory treatment — Dr. Chin assesses each situation individually.
The full implant process typically takes 3–6 months for straightforward cases — longer if bone grafting is needed first. At the consultation, Dr. Chin gives a realistic timeline estimate based on your specific situation.
An implant replaces both the missing tooth and its root, preserves bone, and doesn't involve the adjacent teeth. A bridge is faster, doesn't require surgery, and has lower upfront cost — but requires preparing adjacent teeth and doesn't prevent bone loss under the gap. Dr. Chin explains which option is more appropriate for each patient's situation.
City of Angels Dentistry is at 1127 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1100 in Downtown LA — accessible from the Financial District, Bunker Hill, the Arts District, Koreatown, Echo Park, and Silver Lake.
