Plan Your Implant Care
The City On The Lagoons
Foster City Was Planned On Paper. Your Teeth Will Be Too.
Foster City existed as a drawing before it existed as a place — lagoons, levees, and neighborhoods laid out on bayfill in the 1960s, then built to match the plan. Implant treatment here works the same direction: everything is decided digitally before anything touches you. A free 3D CBCT scan maps bone, nerves, and sinus floors; implant positions are set on that model; and on surgery day, X-Guide and Navident navigation hold the drill to the plan.

Getting to the plan is a familiar run: CA-92 or Hillsdale to US-101 or I-280 north, then into the Richmond District — about 35 minutes from the lagoon loops or Edgewater to our office at 4318 Geary. Consultations, scans, and follow-ups happen there; both offices are complete implant centers, so surgery and same-day teeth are available at either.
That lab is the difference between a plan and a finished city. Final teeth are milled in-house — about a day for many qualifying single implants, about 72 hours for full arches — and checked against your bite before anything is called done. If you'd rather sleep through the construction phase, IV sedation is administered by doctors trained at the Medical College of Georgia and certified in advanced cardiac life support.
Costs follow the same discipline as the levees: engineered, not improvised. Every quote is itemized in writing after the free scan, financing offers are compared across several trusted healthcare lenders, and PPO claims are filed for you. Book the free consultation and we’ll plan the logistics with you, mile by mile.
The Practice
This Practice, At A Glance
Drive times are approximate, in normal traffic. Same-day permanent teeth apply to qualifying single- and multiple-implant cases; full-arch patients typically receive final custom-milled teeth in about 72 hours. Candidacy is confirmed after an exam and free 3D imaging.

The Center for Implant Dentistry has placed and restored implants since 2008, and implants are all it does. The same two owner doctors — Dr. Sam Jain and Dr. Arpana Gupta, a married team of ICOI Masters — plan, place and restore every case themselves. There is no fly-in surgeon and no hand-off to a restoring dentist across town, and the lab that mills your teeth is down the hall from the surgical suite.
Implant treatment is one of the largest health decisions most people make. In California a fixed full arch commonly runs $20,000–$35,000 per jaw, and a full-mouth case is two arches. Against a decision that size, an hour or two in the car matters far less than who plans the case, how often they do this work, and who stands behind it afterward.
Every implant treatment
One Team, One Roof, Every Kind Of Case
From the first scan to the final teeth, Foster City patients are treated start to finish in one practice: consultation, 3D imaging, surgery, sedation, and the lab that makes the teeth.
Single tooth dental implants
One missing tooth, one implant and a custom crown. Qualifying cases leave with the permanent tooth in about 24 hours.
Multiple teeth & implant bridges
Several missing teeth replaced on fewer implants, with the bridge milled in our own lab.
All-on-4 & full mouth dental implants
A complete fixed arch on four implants, upper jaw, lower jaw or both. Fixed teeth on surgery day; final teeth typically in about 72 hours.
All-on-8 Robust
Dr. Sam Jain's eight-implant full-arch protocol, for more support under every arch.
Zygomatic implants
Implants anchored in the cheekbone when the upper jaw has too little bone for standard implants.
Bone grafting & sinus lifts
Rebuilding the bone an implant needs, including sinus lifts in the upper back jaw.
IV sedation
IV sedation given by our own doctors, in our own surgical suites.
Failed-implant rescue
Loose, painful or failing implants placed elsewhere — diagnosed and put right.
Complex cases
Told You're Not A Candidate?
Very often, that is where our work starts. Long-term denture wear and missing teeth shrink the jawbone, but bone grafting, angled full-arch placement and zygomatic implants let many people move forward after being turned away elsewhere.
Not enough bone
Angled implants, grafting, or zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone — the 3D scan shows which your anatomy allows.
An implant that failed elsewhere
We routinely rescue implants placed at other offices that have loosened or failed.
Years in dentures
Fixed teeth are often still possible after long denture wear, even when the bone has shrunk.
A second opinion
Bring another office's plan. We'll read it against your own 3D scan and tell you plainly what we would do.

A real patient's experience
Beyond The Treatment Plan: Denise's Story
Denise describes full-mouth implant treatment after being told she did not have enough bone. This is her individual experience with our practice; your options, timing and results depend on your own examination.

Denise · Full-Mouth Dental Implant Patient
Told there was no bone left
Her own dentist said her jaw could not hold implants. Dr. Jain and Dr. Gupta found otherwise, and her permanent, custom-milled teeth were in 72 hours after surgery.
How much do implants cost?
What Implant Treatment Costs In California Before anyone quotes you a number
These are not our fees or a statewide average. They are broad planning ranges: the single-implant and full-arch rows reflect our own observation of California pricing, and the other rows are anchored to one public California dental-practice price page, with conservative tool groupings where its rows do not match a case one-to-one. Ours are given to you in writing after the free 3D scan.
Illustrative California planning ranges
- A single implant, abutment and crown
- $3,500–$7,500
- A fixed bridge on two to four implants
- $8,000–$11,000
- A fixed full-arch restoration · per arch
- $20,000–$35,000
- Tooth extraction · per tooth
- $150–$450
- Bone grafting · per site
- $200–$3,500
- Sinus lift · per side
- $1,500–$5,000
- IV sedation · per visit
- $200–$800
Beyond the one fixed, all-included All-on-4 fee per arch, we publish no flat treatment fees. An honest number depends on your bone, on how many teeth are being replaced, and on the preparatory work your case needs — so it is written down for you after the scan, and nothing is scheduled before you have it.
The page linked below, checked August 2026, is the source for every row except the single-implant and full-arch rows. It is one public price-page example, not a representative survey, and its rows do not map one-to-one to every line above.
Before you choose an implant practice
Compare The Whole Plan. Then Plan The Drive.
Considering dental implants from Foster City? Compare the treatment, the team and the return visits together. A full-arch decision includes the care after surgery as well as the day you receive your teeth.
One arch or both jaws?
Ask whether a quote covers one arch or both jaws, and whether it includes extractions, grafting, sedation, temporary teeth, final teeth and follow-up. Bring an existing written plan if you would like a second opinion.
How to compare an implant quotePlan the return visits too
Before committing to a longer drive, ask which appointments require an in-person visit, where each will happen, who to call if a problem develops, and whether you need an escort or an overnight stay. Confirm your schedule with the team before booking travel.
Travel and follow-up planningUnderstand the total commitment
A monthly payment is only part of the comparison. Review the total treatment fee, what may cost extra, the financing term, interest and any down payment. The market ranges above are a reference; All-on-4 here is one fixed, all-included fee per arch, and otherwise your written treatment plan sets your individual fee.

The Questions We HearMost Often From Foster City
What's the practical route from Foster City?
CA-92 to 101 north, about thirty-five minutes from Metro Center or the lagoon neighborhoods to the Geary Boulevard office. One planned trip covers the consultation, 3D scan, and your written plan.
Foster City was built by engineers. What's the engineering here?
The founder holds both a dental degree and a master's in mechanical engineering, and it shows in the method: CBCT-planned placement, dynamic navigation during surgery, load-bearing implant counts chosen like structural columns, and final teeth milled in-house to the plan. Precision isn't a slogan here; it's the workflow.
Do you take PPO insurance, and what does it realistically cover?
All PPO plans, verified in writing before you commit. Realistically, most cap yearly benefits at a set maximum — meaningful on a single tooth, partial on an arch — so your written estimate shows the insurance contribution and the financed monthly option side by side.
My parent wears dentures and hates them. Where do we start?
With a free consultation and CBCT scan — bring them, and come along yourself; families researching together are welcome. Fixed implant teeth end the slipping and the soft-food compromises, and bone loss from years of dentures is usually workable with grafting, angled placement, or zygomatic implants.
Do you offer All-on-4, same-day and full mouth dental implants for Foster City patients?
Yes — every implant treatment we do is available to Foster City patients, at either office. That covers single tooth dental implants, multiple implants and implant bridges, All-on-4 and full mouth dental implants for the upper jaw, lower jaw or both, the All-on-8 Robust protocol, same-day dental implants with fixed teeth before you leave, zygomatic implants when bone is scarce, and snap-in implant dentures when removable is the right call. The free 3D scan decides which of these fits you, and the written plan maps the visits from Foster City before you commit.
How much do dental implants cost for Foster City patients, and do you quote in writing?
The fee is the same whether you come from Foster City or from around the corner: it follows your treatment, not your address. Single implants are quoted per tooth. All-on-4 is one fixed, all-included fee of $14,999 per jaw; other full arches are quoted per jaw, with extractions, grafting and sedation itemized when your case needs them. Every Foster City patient leaves the free consultation with that quote in writing, and if you are comparing dental implant cost across offices, bring their quotes and we will read them beside ours line by line. What dental implants cost in the Bay Area, affordable dental implants and financing and payment plans cover the numbers in detail.

M Welch
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Center for Implant Dentistry! From the moment I walked through the door until the moment I walked out with my beautiful new smile, I felt welcomed, cared for, and confident that I was in the right hands. I had All-on-6 full upper and lower implants. Dr. Jain and Dr. Gupta are incredibly talented at what they do. They didn’t just give me new teeth — they gave me a new lease on life. Seeing my new smile for the first time was emotional, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the end result. The amount of skill, care, and attention to detail that went into my treatment was incredible. The entire staff was amazing from beginning to end. Everyone was welcoming, patient, kind, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Having major dental work done can be scary, but they took such great care of me every step of the way. I walked in hoping to get my smile back, and I walked out with more confidence than I could have imagined. I can smile again without trying to hide my teeth, and that means more to me than I can put into words. Thank you, Dr. Jain, Dr. Gupta, and the entire Center for Implant Dentistry team for giving me my smile and my confidence back. You truly changed my life, and I will forever be grateful. If you are considering dental implants and are nervous or unsure about taking that first step, I wholeheartedly recommend Center for Implant Dentistry. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly life-changing experience.
Samyak Jain
I had been hiding my smile for a long time. Eating was difficult, smiling in photos felt uncomfortable, and little by little it started affecting my confidence in ways I did not even realize. Walking into Center for Implant Dentistry, I was hopeful, but also nervous. This was a big decision for me. Now, when I look in the mirror, I do not just see new teeth. I see my confidence coming back. I can smile freely again, eat comfortably, and feel like myself again. That is something I will always be grateful for. I highly recommend Center for Implant Dentistry to anyone thinking about dental implants. This place did not just change my smile. It changed how I feel about myself. I visited again this Implant Center for checkups and the whole staff is lovely.
