Dental Implants in Fresno, CA
Losing a tooth changes more than your smile. It affects how you chew, how you speak, and over time even the shape of your face as the jawbone underneath begins to shrink. For Fresno residents looking for a lasting fix rather than a temporary patch, dental implants offer a way to replace missing teeth from the root up. Dr. Lovik Mirzaeian welcomes patients from across Fresno to his office at 1592 Shaw Ave in Clovis, sitting right where the two cities meet. Whether you are coming from downtown, the Tower District, or the neighborhoods up north, the Shaw Ave corridor puts the practice within an easy drive.
Why Fresno patients choose Dr. Mirzaeian
Because the office sits on Shaw Ave right at the Clovis line, getting here from central or north Fresno rarely means a long trip. That convenience matters when implant treatment involves a few appointments spread across several months. Beyond location, patients come for the steady, unhurried approach. Dr. Mirzaeian has been placing and restoring teeth since 2003, and he takes time to explain what each step involves before anything is scheduled.

Implant options we offer
No two cases of tooth loss look the same, so the practice offers several types of implant restorations. A single-tooth implant fills one gap with a titanium post and a custom crown, without grinding down the healthy teeth on either side. When several teeth in a row are missing, an implant-supported bridge can span the space using implants as anchors instead of relying on neighboring teeth. For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures clip onto a small number of implants for a far more secure fit than a traditional plate. And full-arch All-on-X restorations rebuild an entire upper or lower set on as few as four to six implants.
Are you a good candidate?
Most healthy adults can be considered for implants. The main requirements are reasonably good general health and enough jawbone to hold the post, though bone can sometimes be built up when it is lacking. Implants are not usually placed in teenagers until the jaw has finished growing. Certain medical conditions, especially ones that are not well controlled, can affect how well an implant heals, which is why sharing your full medical history is so important. A short exam and imaging session gives Dr. Mirzaeian the picture he needs to say whether implants are right for you.
What the process looks like
Treatment starts with a consultation and imaging so the team can map out your jaw and plan placement. Next comes the surgical step, where the titanium post is set into the bone. Then the jaw needs time to heal, a stage called osseointegration, during which the bone grows around and fuses to the implant. This is what gives an implant its strength. Once healing is complete, the final crown, bridge, or denture is attached. The whole arc usually plays out over several months, and every visit builds toward a result meant to last.
Comfort and sedation
Dental anxiety is common, and it should never be the reason someone puts off care they need. For patients who feel uneasy about treatment, sedation can make the experience calm and easy to get through. You can read about the choices on our sedation options page and bring up any concerns at your consultation.
Cost and financing
People almost always want to know the price first, and the honest answer is that it varies. The total depends on how many implants you need, whether any preparatory work is required, and which final restoration you choose. Rather than quote a number that may not fit your situation, the team prefers to give you a personalized estimate after examining your mouth. The office accepts insurance and offers financing plans to help spread the cost. Reach out through our contact page to ask about a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get dental implants near Fresno?
Dr. Lovik Mirzaeian places dental implants at 1592 Shaw Ave in Clovis, right along the Clovis line. It is a quick drive from central and north Fresno on Shaw Ave. Call (559) 299-2168 to set up a consultation.
How long does the whole implant process take?
It usually spans several months. After the consultation and imaging, the titanium post is placed, then there is a healing period while the bone fuses to it. Once that bond is solid, the final crown, bridge, or denture is fitted. Your timeline depends on your own healing and the number of teeth involved.
Do dental implants look natural?
Yes. The visible restoration is shaped and shaded to blend with your other teeth, and because the implant is anchored in the jaw, it feels stable when you eat and speak.
Will my insurance help pay for implants?
Many plans cover part of implant treatment, and our team accepts insurance and offers financing options. Coverage varies, so the clearest answer comes from a personalized quote after your exam.
Are implants painful to have placed?
The area is numbed during placement, and sedation is available if you tend to feel anxious at the dentist. Most patients describe the recovery as more manageable than they expected.
Am I too old for dental implants?
There is no strict upper age limit. Healthy adults of many ages do well with implants. What matters more than age is your overall health and the condition of the jawbone, which Dr. Mirzaeian reviews at your visit.
