Dental Implants in Old Town Clovis
Old Town Clovis has a character all its own, the brick storefronts along Pollasky Ave and Clovis Ave, the farmers market crowds, the walkers and cyclists moving along the Old Town Trail. If you spend your days in this part of town and a missing or failing tooth has been on your mind, dental implants are worth a serious look. Dr. Lovik Mirzaeian provides implant treatment at 1592 Shaw Ave, only a few minutes from the historic downtown, so getting started does not mean rearranging your week.
An implant works by mimicking a natural tooth from the root up. Dr. Mirzaeian places a titanium post in the jaw, and as the area heals the bone fuses to that post through a process called osseointegration. The result is a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture that behaves like your own tooth. Just as important, the post keeps the jawbone engaged in the spot a root once occupied, helping preserve bone and the facial support that tends to fade once teeth are lost.
The reasons downtown patients trust this office
There is something fitting about seeking out a dentist with roots and reliability when you live near a district built on both. Dr. Mirzaeian has cared for patients since 2003, and the practice has earned a reputation for taking time to explain, answering questions honestly, and treating people as individuals. Because the office sits right where Clovis meets Fresno, the drive from Pollasky Ave or anywhere along the Old Town Trail is quick, which is a genuine convenience when implant treatment involves several appointments. Curious to dig deeper first? The practice’s main implant page covers the topic in more detail.
Options for every kind of tooth loss
Because no two smiles fail in exactly the same way, the practice offers a spread of implant solutions. Lose one tooth and a single implant topped with a crown restores it without disturbing the teeth on either side. Lose several in a row and an implant-supported bridge fills the run, anchored by posts rather than by grinding down healthy teeth. If dentures have become part of your life but keep shifting, implant-supported dentures snap onto implants for a firmer, more confident fit. And when an entire arch is gone or going, All-on-X restorations place a full set of fixed teeth on a few well-positioned implants. Dr. Mirzaeian talks through which of these matches your situation.
Figuring out if you are a candidate
Most healthy adults can move forward with implants. The essentials are adequate jawbone to secure the post, healthy gum tissue, and overall health that supports normal healing. Some medical conditions, particularly those that are not well controlled, can influence whether an implant integrates successfully, so it is important to share your complete health history and medication list. Implants are generally held off for younger patients until the jaw stops growing. The only reliable way to know your candidacy is a hands-on exam with imaging, which the first consultation provides.
How treatment progresses
An implant is built in stages across several months, and the timeline reflects real biology rather than delay for its own sake. Things begin with a consultation and imaging to study the bone and plan the placement. The titanium post is then set into the jaw. A healing period follows while osseointegration binds the post to the bone. When that foundation has firmed up, Dr. Mirzaeian fits the final crown, bridge, or denture. You are guided through every step, and the patience it asks for is what gives the result its staying power.
Comfort comes first
Feeling anxious about the dentist is more common than most people let on, and it should never be a reason to avoid care. For patients who need it, the office offers sedation to ease dental anxiety and make the appointment feel more relaxed. Share your concerns with the team and they will tailor the visit to you.
What it costs and how to pay
Implant costs vary, and any honest office will tell you so. The total reflects how many implants are needed, whether preparatory work is required, and the restoration you choose, so a personalized quote after an exam is the only accurate figure. The practice accepts dental insurance and offers financing plans to spread payments out comfortably.

What exactly is a dental implant?
It is a titanium post placed in the jawbone that fuses with the bone over time. Once healed, it supports a crown, bridge, or denture and functions much like a natural tooth root.
How long before I have my final tooth?
Expect several months overall, since the implant needs time to bond with the bone before the permanent restoration is attached. Your personal timeline depends on your case and healing.
Do implants require special maintenance?
Not really. Brush and floss around the implant like a natural tooth and keep up with routine dental visits. Consistent home care and checkups help the implant stay healthy for years.
Can I get a full set of teeth replaced with implants?
Yes. All-on-X restorations and implant-supported dentures can replace an entire arch on a set of implants. Dr. Mirzaeian will recommend the best approach based on your exam.
