Every restoration is customized to your exact oral anatomy to ensure long-term stability and natural appearance.
Single Implant
Implant-Supported Bridge
Full-Arch Replacement
A single implant replaces one missing tooth without grinding down adjacent healthy teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, the independent titanium post preserves neighboring tooth structures.
When replacing several consecutive teeth, an implant bridge provides rock-solid support without requiring individual posts for every tooth gap, protecting remaining jawbone structure.
For patients missing most or all teeth in an arch, implant-anchored dentures restore full chewing capacity without slipping, using strategically placed posts for secure support.
What to Expect During Care
Consultation & 3D Imaging
Placement Under Local Anesthesia
Healing & Osseointegration
Final Restoration Attachment
Dr. Emam reviews your medical history, examines gum tissue health, and utilizes high-resolution 3D imaging to confirm sufficient bone density before planning placement.
Over a few months, your natural bone fuses with the titanium post through osseointegration, forming a permanent biological root structure.
The biocompatible implant post is gently positioned into the jawbone during a comfortable, precise procedure performed under standard local anesthesia.
Once fully integrated, Dr. Emam secures your custom-crafted porcelain crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile with flawless bite alignment.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Emam
Practicing dentistry since 1992 and serving the Palo Alto community since 2000, Dr. Roshan Emam upholds a conservative philosophy. We evaluate bone density and gum health to confirm an implant is genuinely your best treatment option rather than recommending unnecessary procedures.
Implant surgery can make patients feel understandable anxiety. Our single-chair setting ensures unhurried, attentive care in a calm room. Flexible CareCredit financing is available to help manage treatment expenses responsibly.
How long do dental implants last?
Does insurance cover implants?
With proper oral care, implant posts last 20 years or a lifetime. The attached custom crown experiences normal wear and typically needs replacement after 10 to 15 years.
Coverage depends on your specific dental plan. Our office verifies your insurance benefits and offers CareCredit financing to assist with any remaining out-of-pocket costs.
Is getting an implant painful?
How do I know if I'm a candidate?
Procedure placement occurs under effective local anesthesia, eliminating pain during surgery. Post-procedure soreness is typically mild and easily managed with over-the-counter medication.
Candidates require adequate jawbone density and healthy gum tissue. Dr. Emam uses thorough 3D imaging during your initial visit to determine candidacy before treatment.
What is the difference between single and full-arch implants?
A single implant replaces one missing tooth root with a individual post and porcelain crown. Full-arch implants strategically place several posts across the jaw to support a complete fixed denture.
