How San Carlos patients get permanent teeth in one planned trip
Schedule ConsultationThe City Of Good Living
San Carlos Backs Local Craft. Ours Is Milled In-House.
San Carlos calls itself the City of Good Living, and Laurel Street — the walkable downtown spine — is full of the kind of independent, craft-minded businesses that reward doing things well. Implant work is craft too, and ours is unusually literal about it: the final zirconia teeth are milled in our own lab by engineer Andy Jain, not shipped to a far-off facility.
The drive is easy. US-101 or I-280 north from San Carlos to our Geary office in the Richmond District runs about thirty-five minutes on a normal day. Hiller Aviation Museum and the San Carlos Airport sit at your back; you're headed the other way, into the city, for care that's hard to find closer.
What sets the practice apart is that it's implant-only, owned by the two surgeons who do everything — Dr. Sam Jain and Dr. Arpana Gupta. With the lab on-site, many qualifying single and multiple implant cases get permanent teeth in about a day. The first consultation and 3D CBCT scan, worth $499, are free.
San Carlos took The City of Good Living as its motto and built a Laurel Street worth the claim — restaurants, hardware, kids on scooters, the whole civic bargain working. Good living is chewing without thinking about it. That's the entire product here, engineered one titanium root at a time, and the first look at whether it's available to you is free. 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 Questions We Hear Most Often From San Carlos
What is the drive from San Carlos?
I-280 north to CA-1/19th Avenue, then east on Geary into the Richmond District — 32 to 45 minutes depending on the hour. The consultation, 3D scan, and written plan happen there in one appointment; both offices are complete implant centers, so surgery and same-day teeth are available at either.
A previous dentist recommended a bridge. Why an implant instead?
A bridge replaces the crown you see but not the root you do not, and it usually means grinding down the healthy teeth on either side. An implant puts a root back into the bone, which is what keeps the bone from shrinking. Both are legitimate; the scan and your own priorities decide.
How does the insurance side actually work?
We work with all PPO plans, are in-network with many, verify your exact benefits in writing, and file the claim for you. Most plans cap yearly benefits around $1,000 to $2,000 and treat implants as major work, so expect a real contribution rather than full coverage.
Can I see the lab that makes my teeth?
Yes — it is in the Fremont building and patients are welcome to look. Our CAD/CAM engineer designs and mills the restorations a few steps from the surgical suites, which is why the timelines here are measured in hours rather than the weeks an outside laboratory needs.

I am writing this review truly from the bottom of my heart. My experience with the Center for Implant Dentistry in Fremont has been nothing short of life-changing. I cannot fully express how happy and grateful I feel after receiving my implants. From the very beginning, everyone at this facility has been incredibly friendly, caring, patient, and accommodating. Most importantly, they made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I always felt that I was in good hands. This has been an amazing experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. Having my smile restored has given me back something that is difficult to put into words. I can now smile confidently without feeling self-conscious, enjoy the foods I want to eat, and simply enjoy the moment without constantly worrying about my teeth. It is more than just getting new teeth—it has truly changed my quality of life, my confidence, and the way I feel about myself every day. To everyone at the Center for Implant Dentistry in Fremont, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me. You didn’t just give me a beautiful new smile—you gave me a new chapter in my life, and that is something I will always be grateful for. For anyone who is struggling with their teeth and considering dental implants, I wholeheartedly recommend the Center for Implant Dentistry. If you are afraid or uncertain, I understand that feeling—but for me, taking this step was one of the best decisions I have ever made. This experience has truly changed my life in the best way possible. I can smile again, I can eat again, and most importantly, I can enjoy those moments with confidence. Thank you to the entire team for giving me something I will cherish for the rest of my life.
