Two Stories, In Their Own Words
Filmed patients describing their own treatment here, followed by before-and-after cases from our gallery. Each is one person's experience; your options, timing and results depend on your own examination.
Full-Arch Dental Implant Patient
A boxer chose his own material
He wanted a soft give rather than something rigid, compared the options himself, and picked ceramic polymer over zirconia — custom-made rather than off the shelf.
Full-Mouth Dental Implant Patient
Years of dentures that never fit
One problem anchor tooth came out, and a new upper and lower set followed within days. They describe relief, a broad smile, and feeling youthful again.

Atherton Has No Main Street. You Drive For Everything Anyway.
Atherton is famously a town without shops — no grocery, no pharmacy, barely a storefront inside city limits. Everything worth having is a drive away, and residents organize life accordingly. Surgery is no different: the question was never whether you'd travel for an implant, only whether the destination deserves the trip.
Here's what sits at the end of ours. Two surgeon-owners — Dr. Sam Jain and Dr. Arpana Gupta, both ICOI Masters — who have run the same practice since 2008 and treat every case personally, from the free 3D CBCT scan to the final bite check. A lab in the building that mills final teeth in about a day for many qualifying single implants, about 72 hours for full arches. And a written, itemized quote before you commit to anything.
The run is one Atherton already makes for dinner reservations: I-280 north past the Crystal Springs stretch to our office at 4318 Geary in the Richmond District, about forty minutes from the Lindenwood or West Atherton lanes. Consultations, scans, and follow-ups happen there; both offices are complete implant centers, so surgery and same-day teeth are available at either.
The visit itself suits a town that values quiet: no sales floor, no financing tablet countdown, an unhurried hour with an owner who explains your scan on the screen. If discretion matters, so does this — the practice's whole trade is one procedure family, done daily, with nothing to upsell. Book the free consultation and we’ll plan the logistics with you, mile by mile.

From Atherton
No Main Street, So You Drive For Everything Anyway
Atherton's searches are dental implants in Atherton and implant explantation, and it asks for an unhurried conversation rather than a sales appointment, with two quotes already in hand. A town without a storefront has made peace with driving for quality; forty minutes up 280, the Geary Boulevard office is built for that conversation.
Explantation, and what comes after
Removing a failed implant is done by the same two owner-surgeons who place them, planned on the free 3D CBCT scan on the failed-implant page: the implant comes out, the site is grafted if it needs it, and a fresh placement follows when the bone is ready, sometimes in the same visit. The surgeon who diagnoses it is the one who treats it.
An unhurried conversation
The free consultation is an hour with an owner-surgeon and your scan on the screen; there is no financing tablet and nothing is scheduled at that visit unless you ask. Two quotes from other practices are read line by line against the scan at no charge, which the second-opinion page describes; sometimes the answer is that one of them is sound.
What actually determines the cost
The number of implants, whether a graft or sinus lift is needed, the material of the final teeth, and whether temporary teeth are included; the quote lists each. Published California ranges (September 2026) put a single implant with its crown at about $3,500–$7,500, a graft at $200–$3,500 per site, a sinus lift at $1,500–$5,000 per side and a fixed arch at $20,000–$35,000 per jaw; our All-on-4 arch is a fixed $14,999 with every inclusion written out, and our All-on-8 Robust design is quoted in writing.
Up 280
From central and west Atherton, I-280 north to 19th Avenue and east to Geary takes forty to fifty minutes; from Lindenwood and the El Camino side, US-101 to 280, forty to fifty-five. For qualifying patients the permanent crown follows surgery in as little as 24 hours and the final full-arch set in about 72 hours, from the lab in the Fremont building; All-on-4 and a single tooth implant each have their own page. The consultation and scan are free (a $499 value).

The Questions We HearMost Often From Atherton
How long from Atherton to your San Francisco office?
I-280 north to the 19th Avenue corridor, then east on Geary — 40 to 50 minutes in normal traffic. The consultation, 3D CBCT scan, and written plan happen there. Both offices are complete implant centers, so surgery and same-day teeth are available at either.
I want an unhurried conversation, not a sales appointment.
That is what this is. Plan on about an hour: the exam, the scan, the doctor's read of it, and an itemized written plan. Nobody here works on commission and there is no closing script — the owner-doctor who would treat you is the one who examines you and answers until you run out of questions.
I have quotes from two other practices already.
Bring both. We will read them line by line with you — implant counts, materials, whether grafting and sedation are included — then give you ours itemized the same way. Comparing quotes only means something when they describe the same treatment, and often they do not.
What actually determines the cost?
Your mouth, not a menu — except on All-on-4, which is one fixed, all-included fee per arch. Beyond that, it is how many teeth are being replaced, whether extractions or grafting come first, how much bone you have, and the sedation you choose. That is why we do not advertise a figure for other treatment. You leave the free consultation with every line of it in writing, before deciding anything.

I recently visited Center for Implant Dentistry after developing an infection around a crowned tooth. My regular dentist wasn't able to treat the problem and referred me to a specialist. A friend who had undergone a bone graft procedure there about a year ago recommended this facility, so I decided to schedule a free consultation. From the moment I arrived, I had a great experience. I met Neel, a very knowledgeable and friendly young gentleman who was easy to talk to. He explained the types of procedures they perform and how they specialize in dental implants and complex dental cases. After asking about my concerns, he quickly took some pictures using their advanced technology. Just a few minutes later, I met Dr. Jain. He took the time to discuss my dental problem and thoroughly explained the recommended treatment plan in a way that was simple and easy to understand. I really appreciated how clearly he explained everything and made sure I understood my options. Then came the biggest surprise! Dr. Jain asked if I wanted to proceed with the treatment that same day. I was shocked because I had only come in for a consultation! Since I was already off work, I decided to take care of the problem right away. Dr. Jain extracted my infected tooth, cleaned out the infection, and placed the implant--all in the same visit! I never expected to have everything done that day, but I was grateful that they were able to address the problem so quickly. I also found the cost reasonable, considering the complexity of the procedure and how quickly they were able to take care of my situation. They accepted my dental insurance and FSA, which helped save me a significant amount of money. Neel provided a detailed treatment plan and explained the costs, including what my insurance would cover. I really appreciated the transparency and the time he took to help me understand the financial side of my treatment. Because it was getting late, they weren't able to finish my temporary crown that day, so I had to return the following day to have it completed. Overall, I'm very grateful for the care I received at Center for Implant Dentistry. From Neel's excellent communication and helpful guidance to Dr. Jain's thorough explanation and treatment, the entire experience was reassuring and efficient. Kudos to all their staff . Very friendly and professional . I highly recommend this facility to anyone who needs specialized dental care or dental implants. They made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier than I expected!
