Dentist in Westchase
Northwest Hillsborough, close enough that a course of implant work does not eat the calendar.
Book a free consultationWestchase sits in northwest Hillsborough County, off W. Linebaugh Ave. Dr. Moradian treats Westchase patients at Affordable Dentures and Implants in Tampa, and the trip stays on this side of the bay.
What Westchase patients come for
Implants and full-arch replacement, dentures, extractions, and the restorative work that sits around them: a crown over a tooth whose root is still healthy, a root canal to keep a tooth that would otherwise be pulled.
The order matters more than the list. Gums are treated before implants go in, and a tooth that can be saved is saved before a replacement is planned for it.
Planning a full arch
A fixed arch is carried on four to six implants rather than one per tooth. The number and the position are read off a cone beam CT scan, which shows a 3D image of your jaw’s anatomy, including where the bone is deep enough to hold a fixture and where it is not. That image is taken before any surgery is scheduled, not after.
Between the placement and the finished teeth there are months while the bone grows around the fixtures. That wait is biology, not a queue.
What the bite has to do with it
A missing tooth is not only a gap in a row. The teeth around it carry more load, the ones opposite have nothing to meet, and the bite settles into a new shape over time. That is why the first visit looks at how the bite meets rather than only at the space, and why the plan sometimes touches teeth you had not thought of as a problem.
Which road Westchase patients take
W. Linebaugh Ave runs east out of Westchase toward Tampa, and the office is on that side. Nothing crosses a bridge.
Citrus Park and Town ‘n’ Country are the nearest towns on this list.

Westchase dental questions
What is the trip from Westchase?
The office is at Affordable Dentures and Implants in Tampa, east of Westchase on the same side of Tampa Bay, so the trip stays inside Hillsborough County.
How long does implant work take from start to finish?
Months rather than weeks. The fixture goes into the bone first, the bone grows around it, and the crown or the arch is fitted after that. The consult sets the timetable for your case.
