Implant problems deserve careful answers—and a plan forward.
Patients whose failed implants got a second — better — life
Schedule ConsultationSecond Opinions · Revisions · Rescue Cases
It's one of dentistry's loneliest feelings: you did the responsible thing, paid real money for an implant — and now it aches, moves, or just feels wrong, while the office that placed it has gone quiet, moved on, or told you to 'keep an eye on it.'
You’ve found the right room. Repairing implant complications — very much including implants placed at other offices — is a routine part of our practice, not a favor. Owner-doctors, in-house 3D imaging, an on-site lab for replacement parts and teeth, and nearly two decades of the cases nobody else wanted.
Step one costs nothing: a free CBCT scan and a plain-language diagnosis of what's actually happening under your gumline. Even if you never come back, you'll finally know.
The Practice
Open six days a week, Sunday by appointment — walk-ins welcome, no referral needed. Every revision plan is based on CBCT imaging and an in-person exam. Bring any records you have; we'll take it from there.
Implant problems are politest early. A little tenderness. Gums a shade too red. A crown that needed re-tightening twice. Each is easy to dismiss — and each is dramatically easier to fix now than after peri-implantitis has quietly dissolved the bone or an overloaded screw has fractured.
The tricky part: from the outside, a loose crown (minor, mechanical, often fixed in one visit) feels identical to a loose implant (a failed bone connection). Only imaging tells them apart — which is exactly why our second-opinion scan is free. Guessing is how small problems buy time to become big ones.
Whatever we find, you'll get the full honest menu: watch and maintain, treat and save, or remove and rebuild properly — each with real odds and real costs in writing. Your implant's history doesn't have to be its future.
Rescue work is where one-roof dentistry proves itself: the doctors who diagnose you do the surgery, the lab that mills your new parts is down the hall, and nobody hands your problem to somebody else.
The free CBCT scan reveals what X-rays and hunches can't: bone levels around the implant, infection, fractured components, and how the bite has been loading everything.
Dr. Jain reads it with an engineer's eye — because implant failures are usually load and planning failures wearing a medical disguise.
You get the diagnosis in plain language, with every reasonable option and its honest chances.
Mechanical problems — loose screws, failing crowns, ill-fitting outsourced parts — are corrected precisely, often with components our own lab fabricates to fit properly this time.
Early peri-implantitis gets targeted treatment to halt bone loss and keep a salvageable implant in service.
Comfort throughout, with IV sedation from ACLS-certified doctors whenever wanted.
A truly failed implant is removed gently, the site cleaned and grafted, and a new implant placed with guided navigation once the foundation is ready — or immediately, where solid bone allows.
Severe upper-jaw loss has a further answer most offices can't offer: zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone.
And then the part that prevents round three: lifetime maintenance with the team that rebuilt you.
Warning signs worth acting on: pain or tenderness around an implant that had been comfortable, any perceptible movement, gums that bleed or swell around it, a crown that loosens repeatedly, receding gum exposing metal, or a bad taste that keeps returning. Some failing implants are silent — which is why persistent 'something feels off' deserves imaging, not reassurance. A CBCT scan settles the question in minutes, and ours is free.
Usually not — and the difference is everything. A loose crown or abutment screw is common, mechanical, and often fixed in a single visit. A loose implant body means the bone connection itself has failed, which is a different conversation entirely. From the outside they can feel identical; on a 3D scan they look nothing alike. Don't let anyone — including the internet — diagnose the difference without imaging.
Peri-implantitis is a bacterial infection in the gum and bone around an implant — similar to gum disease, but around a post instead of a natural root. Left alone, it slowly destroys the bone that holds the implant in place. Caught early, it's usually treatable with a deep cleaning and targeted therapy; caught late, it can cost you the implant. The hard part is that it's often preventable with routine maintenance checkups — the kind of follow-up that surgery-only clinics rarely offer. We include that maintenance for the life of your implant.
Usually, yes. Depending on what the scan shows, the path may be removing the failed implant, cleaning and grafting the site, then placing a new implant once the foundation heals — or occasionally placing a new implant in adjacent solid bone immediately. Where bone loss is severe, zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone can carry teeth the jaw no longer can. Failure is a setback, not a verdict.
Yes — it's a regular part of our week, not an exception we make. Dr. Jain also offers second-opinion consultations by video during regular office hours, so you can be heard before you ever drive anywhere. Bring whatever records you have (we'll work with your scan history, but our own free CBCT tells us most of what we need). You'll get a plain-language diagnosis of what went wrong, every reasonable option with its honest odds, and an itemized cost in writing. No lectures about your last dentist, and no obligation to fix it here.
The common culprits, in rough order: infection (including untreated gum disease), too few implants carrying too much load — the long-cantilever problem baked into some cut-rate full-arch models — imprecise freehand placement into weak bone, smoking during healing, and poorly fitting outsourced parts that trap bacteria or concentrate stress. Notice the pattern: most failures are planning failures. It's why everything we place starts with a CT scan and ends with lifetime follow-up.
Gladly, and you don't need to be our patient for it. Bring the written quote or treatment plan to a free consultation and we'll walk through it line by line: what's actually included, what tends to get added later, whether the implant count fits your bone, and what the same treatment would cost here — itemized, in writing, against our own quote for the same plan. Sometimes the honest answer is that the other plan is sound; you'll hear that too. A second opinion before surgery costs you an hour. The wrong plan can cost you bone.
Both, and treatment comes first whenever the implant can be saved. Peri-implantitis — infection and bone loss around an implant — is graded from the 3D scan and a probing exam. Early cases are treated by cleaning and decontaminating the implant surface, controlling the infection and correcting whatever let it start, from a poorly fitting crown to a bite that overloads one implant. Where bone has been lost, regenerative grafting around the implant can rebuild support; where the gum has thinned, gum grafting protects it. Removal and replacement is the last step, not the first, and when it is needed the new implant is planned with the reason for the first failure written into the plan. The peri-implantitis treatment guide explains each stage and what to expect at the visit.
Failing implants are treated by periodontists, oral surgeons and implant-focused dentists alike; implant dentistry is not one of the recognized dental specialties, so the title on the door tells you less than the case history does. What matters is who diagnoses the cause, who does the surgery and the lab work, and who answers when something is not right afterwards. Here the same two doctors who have placed and rescued implants since 2008 read your scan, perform any grafting or replacement themselves, and restore the tooth in the in-house lab — one team accountable for the whole result. If your case needs a physician's input, for instance around diabetes or medications that affect healing, we coordinate with your doctor rather than sending you elsewhere.

I did a lot of research before choosing a doctor for my dental implant treatment. After comparing different options, including ClearChoice, I decided to visit Dr. Jain. He explained the entire All-on-8 treatment process in detail and made me feel much more confident about my decision. One thing that really impressed me was that they have their own in-house dental lab, which makes the entire process more convenient and efficient. Dr. Jain and his team pay attention to every detail. They don’t just focus on completing the treatment; they also make sure the final smile looks beautiful and natural. I am very happy with my experience and the results. I highly recommend Dr. Jain and the Center for Implant Dentistry to anyone considering full-mouth dental implants I choose right away I don’t because I thought dr Jain has a great knowledge in implntology over 20 year experience .

I had an absolutely exceptional experience at Center for Implant Dentistry in Fremont, and I genuinely believe this amazing team deserves special recognition. Before deciding where to get my dental implants, I spent a lot of time researching different providers and treatment options. Having had dental implants before, I knew how important it was to choose experienced, qualified professionals. This wasn't a decision I took lightly, and I'm so glad I chose this team. I want to give a heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Jain, Dr. Gupta, and the entire clinical staff. Because my dental situation was particularly complex and far from a typical case, my surgery started around 5:00 PM and didn't finish until approximately 2:30 AM the next morning. That's nearly nine and a half hours! What truly impressed me wasn't just how long they worked, but the patience, professionalism, and dedication they showed every step of the way. I especially want to recognize the staff members who stayed with the doctors throughout those long hours. Their hard work, care, and commitment were just as important to my experience, and they absolutely deserve recognition. I truly appreciate everything they did. Today marks exactly one week since my surgery, and I've already received my new teeth. I'm extremely happy with how they look and with my experience so far. I understand that healing takes time, but everything up to this point has been wonderful. To Dr. Jain, Dr. Gupta, and every single member of the team, thank you from the bottom of my heart. My family and I are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication you've shown me. You've earned not only my gratitude, but also my genuine respect. I couldn't be happier with my decision to trust this team with my smile!

Akhilesh Mittal
I went to Dr Arpana and Dr Sambhav in an emergency requiring extraction of multiple teeth and a dental implant. They accommodated me in their busy schedule and took good care of me. They have the entire setup (3D X-ray, implants, crown etc) and I didn’t have to run to multiple people for my treatment. I was treated very professionally and I felt cared for. Highly recommend them. I referred my family and they have had very positive experience as well. A big thumbs up on the quality of service!

We’re so happy we found Center of Implant Dentistry, we travelled all the way from Las Vegas to the Bay Area specifically for my Dad’s upper implant procedure (after he received some inferior quotes in Nevada that made him uncomfortable) so I did some research and found Dr Jain & Dr Gupta And from the very first visit we were so happy with the experience they were very accommodating and friendly and supportive throughout the whole process. From the very first consultation we knew we found the right place for my dad’s implants, 🤗Center of Implant Dentistry really specialize in all they do and is a full one stop shop, my dad’s experience was super pleasant and the staff was so great, it was easy to book an appt and schedule his procedure, it was so simple, easy and pain free for my Dad, he had a very quick and easy healing process compared to other friends he knows that got the same. We’re overall so happy with Dr Jain and Dr Gupta for their care and appreciate them for accommodating my Dad until he feels his very best and the most confident with his new smile. Highly recommend, we’ll surely be letting his friends know as well 5 stars
