Replace a single tooth or a full arch with Dr. Azadeh Ashtiany — gentle, precise implant care for Laguna Niguel and South Orange County, from your first scan to your final crown.

An implant replaces the whole tooth — root and crown — so it stays put, protects your jaw, and looks completely natural.
A titanium root and a custom porcelain crown — virtually indistinguishable from the teeth around it.
With good care and regular checkups, dental implants can last 15–25 years — often a lifetime.
Implants stimulate the bone like a real root, preventing the bone loss that follows a missing tooth.
Sedation options and a calm, patient-first technique keep the whole experience comfortable.
What our implant patients say
Trusted by families across Laguna Niguel and Aliso Viejo
"Dr. Ashtiani and her staff in this dental office are super professional and friendly. Great vibes, relaxing and charming music and a nice TV screensaver in each exam room kill the patient stress and anxiety that comes with dental procedures. I highly recommend this dentist office to anyone in need of dental hygiene, implants and other services."
"I’ve been a patient here since 2004. I’ve had everything done from root canals to bridge implants to simple fillings, all done painlessly. And I’m happy to report nothing has changed. No pain. Everyone is courteous, professional and informative. Seamless transition. Great service. The only difference — the office renovation is really nice. I will continue my patronage without any hesitation."
"I really appreciate Dr. Ashtiani and all her staff. Everyone in the dental office has been helpful, approachable, kind and very good at what they do. One of the things I really appreciate about Laguna Niguel Dental is their ability to provide full service. Dr. Ashtiani and Dr. Morcos, her on-staff oral surgeon, together improved my dental situation immensely. Where other practitioners shuffled me off on my own to research answers to old implant problems, Dr. Ashtiani went the extra mile to find solutions and follow through without hesitation, resulting in much physical improvement in my quality of life — not to mention the mental relief of being honestly cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking good dental care."

Get my personalized quoteDental implants are small titanium posts placed in your jawbone to replace missing teeth. They act as artificial tooth roots and provide a strong, permanent foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and enough jawbone — and if you don’t, procedures like bone grafting can prepare the area. A quick consultation is the surest way to find out.
The procedure is done with local anesthesia or sedation, so it’s usually nearly painless. Mild swelling or soreness afterward is normal and easily managed with prescribed medication.
Initial healing takes about 1–2 weeks. The implant then integrates with the bone over roughly 3–6 months before your permanent crown is placed.
With proper care and regular checkups, dental implants can last 15–25 years or more — and often a lifetime.
Often, yes — many plans cover part of the treatment. We accept most major dental insurance and offer financing options, and we’ll review your specific coverage with you before treatment begins.
