Reclaiming Your Life.
Engineering Your Smile.

This is the most critical question. Many centers use a titanium bar covered in pink acrylic and plastic denture teeth. Over 5-7 years, acrylic stains, absorbs odors, and the teeth wear down flat. We use Monolithic Zirconia—a biocompatible ceramic diamond material. It is non-porous (doesn't absorb bacteria/smells), stays smooth to protect your gums, and maintains its shape and color for decades. It is a higher upfront cost for us, but a lifetime value for you.

The science is based on 'Cross-Arch Stabilization.' When we link 4 to 6 implants together with a rigid arch, they share the load immediately—similar to how a table is stable on 4 legs even if the cement isn't dry. We use advanced torque-measuring devices during surgery. If the implants achieve an insertion torque of >35Ncm, we know the bone has 'primary stability' sufficient to support immediate teeth.

In medicine, nothing is 100%. However, our success rate hovers around 98-99%. The main causes of failure are smoking during healing or uncontrolled diabetes. If an implant fails to integrate, it is not a catastrophe. We simply remove it, let the area heal, and place a new one, often at no extra cost to you under our warranty program. You are never left without options.

They are advanced, not dangerous, provided they are placed by a specialist. Zygomatic implants are longer and anchor into the cheekbone (Zygoma). The Zygoma is very dense cortical bone that never resorbs, unlike the jawbone. This actually makes them MORE stable than traditional implants in patients with bone loss. We are one of the few centers in Northern California credentialed to perform this surgery.

Most patients are surprised to find they have less pain than a tooth extraction. We use Exparel®, a specialized long-release liposomal bupivacaine, which numbs the surgical site for up to 72 hours. By the time it wears off, the acute healing phase is over. Most patients manage with just Ibuprofen and Tylenol after day 3.

We don't guess. We use a CBCT (3D X-ray) combined with an intraoral digital scanner. We overlay these to see your nerves, sinuses, and bone volume in 3D. We then perform the surgery virtually on the computer before you ever sit in the chair. We 3D print a surgical guide that fits over your gums, ensuring the implants are placed exactly where we planned them, down to the micron.

It's a matter of engineering redundancy. All-on-4 is the minimum standard. All-on-6 adds two additional implants. We prefer All-on-6 whenever bone allows because it reduces the load on each individual implant and provides a 'safety net'—if one implant ever has an issue in the future, the bridge still has 5 supports and doesn't need to be remade. We over-engineer for longevity.

No. The 'bulky' look comes from poor planning where the transition line between the bridge and gum is visible. We reduce the bone slightly to hide this transition line under your lip (the 'smile line'). We also use 'Cut-Back' Zirconia technology, where we layer translucent porcelain over the strong Zirconia core to mimic the light reflection of natural enamel.

Yes. We view this as a necessary medical intervention, not a luxury. We partner with specialized medical lenders like Proceed Finance and LendingClub who can offer terms up to 96 months. This often brings the monthly payment down to roughly the cost of a car payment (~$300-$500/month depending on credit), making it accessible for working families.

Medical tourism carries risks regarding accountability and materials. If a screw loosens or a chip occurs 6 months later, you cannot fly back easily. Furthermore, we often see foreign implants that are not FDA-approved, meaning we cannot find parts to service them in the US. When you choose us, you are paying for FDA-certified Grade 23 Titanium, genuine manufacturer parts, and lifetime local support.
