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 Doctors Who Will Treat You
The engineering Foster City asked about: a surgeon who was a mechanical engineer first, a second surgeon who co-owns the practice, and a lab run by an engineer in the family.

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
Thirty years without seeing a dentist
At 66, with about a third of his teeth left, he had been avoiding care through a heart operation and a diabetes diagnosis. He ranks the day alongside his wedding and his children’s births.
Dental Implant Patient
An implant that failed somewhere else
They arrived carrying another provider’s work. What mattered was the in-house lab and both surgeons being hands-on — and the confidence it returned to their practice as a marriage and family therapist.

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.
Implant treatment for Foster City
Engineered First, Then Placed: The Foster City Cases
A city built to a plan trusts a practice that plans first and cuts second. Foster City's searches are All-on-4 and full mouth implants, and a parent's denture; here is how each is planned.
All-on-4 and full mouth implants
All-on-4 carries a fixed arch on four implants; our own All-on-8 Robust protocol uses up to eight where the bone allows. Every implant is planned on the free 3D scan and placed with dynamic navigation, so the position decided on the screen is the position in the bone. For qualifying patients the final custom-milled teeth follow surgery in about 72 hours.
A parent who hates the denture
The most common Foster City story is an adult child asking for a parent. Two or more implants hold a denture still; a fixed arch replaces it; the implant-supported dentures page compares the two and the implants for seniors page answers what families ask first. Where the upper jaw has thinned, zygomatic implants avoid months of grafting.
Extractions, wisdom teeth, and one implant
Foster City also searches for extractions and wisdom teeth. An extraction and an immediate implant can happen in one visit where the scan allows; the single tooth page covers the implant, permanent in as little as 24 hours for qualifying patients.

Planned On Paper First: All-on-4 And Full Mouth Implants For Foster City
Foster City's searches already rank on the first page here, for dental implants, All-on-4 and full mouth implants in Foster City, which means the people reading this are deciding, not browsing. So this is the planning page: what is done, in what order, for what number.
The plan before the surgery
A city built to a plan tends to trust a practice that plans first and cuts second. Every case here starts with a free 3D CBCT scan, is planned on the screen, and is placed with dynamic navigation so the position decided digitally is the position in the bone. The teeth are designed and milled in our own lab rather than ordered from one; for qualifying patients that is why fixed teeth go in the day of surgery and the final custom-milled set follows in about 72 hours for a full arch, or as little as 24 hours for a single implant. Candidacy is confirmed at the scan.
All-on-4 and full mouth implants, by the numbers
Our All-on-4 arch is a fixed $14,999 with every inclusion written out. Six- and eight-implant arches, including our All-on-8 Robust design, are quoted in writing after the scan, against published California ranges (September 2026) of $20,000–$35,000 per jaw; a single implant with its crown runs about $3,500–$7,500. Employer PPO claims are filed for you and financing is compared across four lenders with a soft-check pre-qualification. A parent who wears dentures and hates them is the most common Foster City story, and the implants for seniors page is written for the adult children who start that conversation.
The route from the lagoons
Our San Francisco office on Geary Boulevard serves Foster City: from Metro Center and the lagoon neighborhoods, US-101 north, I-280 to 19th Avenue and east on Geary takes thirty to forty-five minutes; from the CA-92 side, 92 west to 280 north. Both offices are complete implant centers with the same two owner-surgeons, so surgery and same-day teeth are available at either, and we confirm the better routing when you book. We are open until 7:30 PM on weekdays and 6:00 PM on Saturdays, with Sunday by appointment.
Pricing for Foster City patients
Engineered, Not Improvised
The levee discipline, applied to a quote
Every quote is itemized in writing after the free consultation and scan (a $499 value). Our All-on-4 arch is a fixed $14,999 with every inclusion written out; published California ranges (September 2026) put a single implant with its crown at about $3,500–$7,500, an extraction at $150–$450 per tooth and a fixed arch at $20,000–$35,000 per jaw.
What PPO insurance realistically covers
A PPO plan typically contributes to parts of implant treatment up to its annual maximum; we verify yours in writing and file the claims. HMO and Medi-Cal cannot be accepted for implants. Financing across four lenders is compared with a soft-check pre-qualification.

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.

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!
