This Practice, At A Glance

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.
Dental Implant Patient
A year in dentures after losing their molars
They found the practice through their own research and reviews. Staff stayed after hours; teeth arrived in three to four days rather than the six months they had been quoted.
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.

OVER HIGHWAY 17 FROM THE VILLAGE
Capitola, Trade The Wharf For Permanent Teeth.
Capitola has been a beach town since Camp Capitola opened in 1874, and the pace here rewards people who don't like wasting a trip. That's the whole idea behind how we treat Capitola patients: because our 3D planning, guided surgery, and zirconia milling lab all sit in one Fremont building, qualifying single- and multiple-implant cases get scanned, placed, and fitted with permanent teeth in roughly a day instead of half a year of temporaries.
Drive up out of the Village, past Depot Hill, and Highway 17 is the one real obstacle between you and the office. We built the schedule around that road. A first visit covers the free consultation and 3D CBCT scan; for full-arch cases the final milled teeth follow in about 72 hours, so the summit gets crossed a handful of times, not weekly for months.
The 41st Avenue corridor has plenty of good general dentists, but implant-only work — All-on-8 full arches, zygomatic implants when you've been told there's no bone, rescuing an implant that failed elsewhere — is a different specialty. Dr. Sam Jain and Dr. Arpana Gupta own the practice and personally plan, place, and restore every case. No fly-in surgeon ever touches your mouth. Book the free consultation and we’ll plan the logistics with you, mile by mile.

From Capitola
Capitola, Trade The Wharf For Permanent Teeth
Capitola's own searches already sit near the top of page one: an implant dentist in Capitola, dental implants in Capitola, dental implant cost in Capitola. What the village asks is whether we treat people who travel, what if you are not a candidate, and about insurance. Highway 17 is the whole cost of admission, an hour to an hour and a quarter over the summit.
People who travel a long way
Santa Cruz County, the Monterey Bay and further come to this practice, and the schedule is built for the summit: the free consultation and 3D CBCT scan on one trip, surgery on the next with fixed teeth the same day for qualifying patients, and for qualifying patients the permanent crown in as little as 24 hours or the final full-arch set in about 72 hours, so the second trip is a short stay rather than a season of 17. The traveling for implants page explains how.
If you turn out not to be a candidate
Then the free visit cost you the drive and nothing else (a $499 value), and you leave knowing why. Most people told no elsewhere are candidates for an angled placement, a graft or zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone; the scan says which, in one visit, and nothing is scheduled unless you ask.
Dental implant cost in Capitola, and insurance
Published California ranges (September 2026) put a single implant with its crown at about $3,500–$7,500 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, itemized after the scan. Employer PPO plans are verified in writing with the claim filed for you; HMO and Medi-Cal cannot be accepted; financing across four lenders is compared with a soft-check pre-qualification.
Over the summit
From the Village and the Esplanade, CA-1 north to Highway 17 over the summit, which becomes I-880 at San Jose, takes sixty to eighty minutes in normal traffic; from Depot Hill, an hour to an hour and fifteen; from the 41st Avenue side, seventy to eighty-five. All-on-4, our All-on-8 Robust design, a single tooth implant and IV sedation each have their own page; sedation visits are scheduled with a companion for 17.

The Questions We HearMost Often From Capitola
What is the drive from Capitola?
CA-1 north to Highway 17 over the summit — it becomes I-880 at San Jose — about 60 to 80 minutes in normal traffic. Long enough that the scheduling matters: consultation, 3D scan, and written plan are grouped into one appointment.
Do you treat people who travel a long way?
Routinely — some patients fly in from other states, which only works because final teeth are made here in days rather than months. Tell us your distance when you book and the schedule is built around it, with the trip count written into your plan rather than discovered later.
What if I turn out not to be a candidate?
You will be told plainly, on that visit, at no cost. It happens less often than people expect — most who come in have options, including many turned away elsewhere — but an honest no is worth more than a hopeful maybe when you have driven over the summit for it.
Do you take my dental insurance?
All PPO plans, in-network with many, benefits verified in writing and the claim filed for you. We cannot accept Medicare, Medi-Cal, or HMO plans for implant procedures. Financing across four lenders is the practical route for many patients in that position, and checking a rate costs nothing.

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!
