Claremont residents replace missing teeth permanently with dental implants placed at Advanced Dentistry's Pomona office — 10 minutes west via the 10 freeway. Dr. Soboh, DDS, offers single implants, multi-tooth implant bridges, and All-on-4 full-arch restorations using 3D CBCT-guided surgery with a documented 95% success rate.
What Types of Dental Implants Are Available to Claremont Patients?
Dental implant technology has advanced beyond the one-size-fits-all approach. The right implant type depends on how many teeth you are replacing, your jawbone density, and your lifestyle goals.
Dr. Soboh, DDS, evaluates every Claremont patient individually using cone-beam CT imaging before recommending a specific implant solution. Here is what each option delivers:
| Implant Type | Best For | Teeth Replaced | Timeline to Final Teeth | Cost Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Tooth Implant | One missing tooth with healthy bone | 1 | 3-6 months | $3,500-$5,500 |
| Implant-Supported Bridge | 3-4 adjacent missing teeth | 3-4 | 4-6 months | $6,000-$12,000 |
| All-on-4 Full Arch | Full upper or lower arch | 10-14 per arch | Same day (temporary) + 4-6 months (final) | $18,000-$28,000 |
| Mini Implants | Denture stabilization or narrow bone | Varies | 1-2 visits | $1,500-$3,000 |

How Does a Single Tooth Implant Work?
A single implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post, a connector (abutment), and a porcelain crown. The crown is shade-matched to your surrounding teeth using digital color-mapping technology.
Single implants account for 65% of all implant cases at our Pomona office. The procedure preserves neighboring teeth — unlike a traditional bridge, which grinds down two healthy teeth to anchor a false one.
A Claremont College economics professor came to our office after losing a molar to a fracture. His previous dentist recommended a three-unit bridge. Dr. Soboh placed a single implant instead, preserving both adjacent teeth completely. Eighteen months later, the professor told us the implant "performs identically to the tooth I lost."

What Is the All-on-4 Procedure and Who Benefits Most?
All-on-4 uses four strategically angled implants to support a full arch of 10-14 teeth. Patients receive a temporary set of fixed teeth the same day as surgery — no waiting months with missing teeth or loose dentures.
The angulated placement of the posterior implants maximizes contact with available bone. This design eliminates the need for bone grafting in 95% of All-on-4 cases, even in patients with moderate bone loss.
All-on-4 transforms quality of life in a single appointment. Patients leave our office eating solid food, speaking clearly, and smiling with full confidence. Learn more about all implant options in our comprehensive Southern California guide.
What Technology Does Dr. Soboh Use for Implant Placement?
Precision determines implant success. Our Pomona office uses three technologies that directly improve outcomes for Claremont patients:
How Does 3D CBCT Imaging Improve Implant Accuracy?
Cone-beam computed tomography creates a three-dimensional map of your jawbone, nerve pathways, and sinus cavities. Dr. Soboh plans every implant digitally before surgery begins. This pre-surgical mapping reduces placement errors to under 0.5mm.
What Are Computer-Guided Surgical Templates?
A custom surgical guide is 3D-printed from your CBCT scan data. This template snaps onto your teeth during surgery and directs the drill to the exact angle, depth, and position planned digitally. Guided surgery reduces procedure time by 30-40%.
How Do Digital Impressions Replace Traditional Molds?
An intraoral scanner captures 6,000 images per second to create a precise digital model of your mouth. No gagging on putty trays. Digital impressions produce crowns that fit with 20-micron accuracy — roughly one-quarter the width of a human hair.

What Does Recovery From Dental Implant Surgery Look Like?
Recovery surprises most patients — it is faster and less painful than expected. Here is the evidence-based recovery timeline:
Days 1-3: Mild swelling and tenderness at the implant site. Over-the-counter ibuprofen manages discomfort effectively. Soft foods only. Most patients return to work within 24-48 hours.
Days 4-7: Swelling subsides. Patients resume normal eating patterns with the exception of hard, crunchy foods directly over the implant site.
Weeks 2-4: The surgical site heals completely on the surface. Sutures dissolve or are removed. No dietary restrictions remain except at the direct implant site.
Months 2-6: Osseointegration — the titanium post fuses with your jawbone at the cellular level. This biological bonding creates a foundation stronger than a natural tooth root.
A 2024 study in the International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants found that 94% of implant patients rated post-surgical pain as "less than expected."

Claremont is home to the Claremont Colleges consortium — five undergraduate and two graduate institutions that shape the city's identity. Residents in The Village, Claremont Hills, and Padua Hills neighborhoods share a common trait: they research decisions thoroughly before committing.
Our Pomona office at 101 West Mission Blvd., #221, sits 10 minutes from central Claremont via the 10 West to Indian Hill Blvd. Patients from the neighborhoods near Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden and the colleges reach us without freeway traffic by taking Towne Avenue south.
Claremont's higher-than-average PPO insurance coverage rates mean most residents have implant benefits waiting to be used. Our front desk verifies your specific PPO plan benefits before your first appointment — Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, Guardian, and all major carriers.
Rated 4.9 stars on Google, our Pomona office has served Claremont families for over 20 years. Dr. Soboh has placed more than 3,000 implants during that time. See real implant transformations in our before-and-after smile gallery.
How Do You Maintain Dental Implants After Placement?
Implants require the same care as natural teeth — brushing twice daily, flossing once daily, and attending biannual cleanings. No special adhesives, soaking solutions, or removal routines.
The implant post itself is designed to last a lifetime. The porcelain crown on top lasts 15-25 years before normal wear requires a replacement crown — a 30-minute, non-surgical procedure.
Implant costs range from $3,500 to $6,500 depending on the type and complexity. Financing starts at $99/month through CareCredit with 0% APR for qualifying patients.
