Guided Dental Implant Placement

3D technology allows our doctors to more accurately place dental implants using minimally invasive techniques that improve patient comfort and healing while maintaining the highest standard of treatment and restoring your smile.

The 3D digital guidance provided by this specialized software helps our team plan the implant placement procedure. It also allows the patient to visualize the implant’s future location and its support for the final restoration. Once planning is complete, our team uses this 3D-guided implant technology to create a customized surgical guide that provides greater precision and accuracy during implant placement.

Single Dental Implant

Dental implants are small anchors made of a biocompatible metal called titanium that are placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth in the mouth. After placement, the anchors will begin to fuse with the bone over the course of a few months. After the fusing process, known as osseointegration, abutment posts are inserted into the anchors to allow for the permanent attachment of the replacement teeth.

Implant Supported Bridges

An implant supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the bridge that provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for a patient’s natural teeth.

Because of the natural look and feel and the functional stability provided by the implants, implant supported bridges are an effective solution to replace multiple missing teeth.

A dental implant supported bridge replaces missing teeth by placing two or more dental implants to support the bridge instead of the adjacent teeth. These implants avoid putting any additional stress on your natural teeth and help preserve the health and function of the surrounding bone tissue and teeth.

Implant Supported Dentures

An implant supported denture requires the placement of four to six dental implants as “anchors” to provide a sturdier fit and minimal mobility for your denture. With implant supported dentures, there is no plate covering the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating are more natural and comfortable than with traditional dentures. For qualifying patients, our doctors may be able to complete the removal of all teeth and the placement of a temporary arch on the same day.

How much do dental implants cost in Cupertino, CA?

The cost of dental implants in Cupertino depends on several factors: the number of teeth being replaced, the type of restoration being used to replace them, the material used to create the restoration, and any additional procedures needed to prepare for dental implant surgery. During your consultation, we will provide you with your options and a cost for each.

Are dental implants covered by insurance?

The total cost of dental implants is rarely covered by dental insurance, but some plans do pay some of the costs—for example, the restorations that attach to your dental implants may be covered, but not the implants themselves. In certain cases, medical insurance may also provide coverage. We’re happy to help you understand your benefits.

Are dental implants worth it?

Yes, dental implants are worth it. They’re the only restoration for missing teeth that prevents and even reverses bone loss in the jaw, resulting in a stronger bite, better oral health, and a more youthful appearance. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

How painful is getting a dental implant?

Getting a dental implant isn’t painful at all because we use local anesthesia to numb the area where we’re working. In the hours after your surgery, you’ll feel some tenderness and discomfort, but this can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medication.

Can dental implants be done in one day?

Some dental implant restorations can be performed in one day, while others need multiple office visits. We’ll let you know if you’re a candidate for a same-day dental implant procedure during your consultation.

Are you put to sleep for dental implants?

Our dental implant procedures are performed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort, but you will be awake. Mild sedation is available for patients who are anxious or need help relaxing.
