Los Angeles, CA - Center for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy today announced an expansion of advanced dental implant services for Santa Monica area residents, increasing access to complex implant care for patients seeking permanent tooth replacement solutions. The expanded scope includes single-tooth implants, full-arch implant options such as All-on-4, and surgical support procedures, including bone grafting and sinus augmentation, with added emphasis on difficult cases that require specialized techniques not commonly offered in general dental settings.

The announcement reflects growing demand in Santa Monica and the Westside for fixed, implant-supported solutions among adults looking for long-term alternatives to removable dentures and bridgework. As patients increasingly seek care that addresses both function and appearance, more cases present with advanced bone loss, periodontal breakdown, or previous dental complications that can make traditional implant placement challenging. Center for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy’s expansion is intended to reduce the need for referrals across multiple offices by providing consultation, diagnostics, surgical placement, and follow-up care through a single periodontal and implant-focused team.

“Many Santa Monica patients are dealing with significant bone loss or have been told they are not candidates for implants,” said Dr. Alexandre Aalam, board-certified periodontist at Center for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy. “This expansion improves access to advanced solutions, including zygomatic and pterygoid implant techniques, which can help qualified patients move forward when conventional implant approaches are not viable.”

Zygomatic and pterygoid implants are specialized procedures sometimes used when the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone for traditional implants, including cases involving long-term tooth loss, advanced atrophy, or failed grafting attempts. These techniques can allow implant-supported restoration without relying on the same bone volume required for standard implant placement, depending on individual anatomy and clinical indications. Center for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy’s emphasis on complex cases is designed to serve Santa Monica patients who have been told that extensive grafting, prolonged timelines, or removable solutions are the only options.

The expanded service availability also includes full-arch treatment planning for patients seeking comprehensive smile restoration. Full-arch implant solutions can be considered for patients experiencing widespread tooth loss, significant mobility from periodontal disease, or repeated failures of crowns, bridges, or partial dentures. Treatment planning begins with a comprehensive evaluation that includes periodontal assessment, medical history review, and advanced imaging to assess bone structure, sinus anatomy, and restorative requirements. The planning process is structured to support predictable outcomes while setting clear expectations around timing, healing, and staged care when necessary.

Center for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy incorporates 3D CBCT imaging as part of implant planning to help evaluate bone volume and identify anatomical constraints prior to surgery. Digital diagnostics support more precise placement and help reduce surgical surprises, particularly in cases where patients present with compromised bone or prior dental work that limits options. When appropriate, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is used to support healing and soft tissue regeneration in implant and periodontal procedures, reflecting a broader focus on recovery quality and tissue stability.

Santa Monica patients often seek periodontal specialty care not only for implant placement, but also for gum conditions that can affect candidacy and long-term implant stability. Periodontal inflammation, gum recession, and active gum disease can complicate restorative outcomes when left untreated. Center for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy’s periodontal-first approach is designed to support implant success by addressing the foundation tissues that protect both natural teeth and implant restorations.

Scheduling is now available for Santa Monica area residents seeking implant evaluations, second opinions, and complex case planning. Center for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy continues to provide individualized treatment recommendations based on clinical findings, restorative objectives, and long-term stability, with the goal of improving access to advanced implant care for patients whose cases require specialized expertise.
