What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the most advanced and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, implants restore your smile while preserving jawbone health and facial structure.

A dental implant consists of a small titanium or zirconia post placed in the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Through a process called osseointegration, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation for a custom crown.

At 7x7 Dental Implant & Oral Surgery Specialists, we use advanced 3D imaging and surgical planning to deliver precise, predictable results for patients throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area.

The Dental Implant Process

Your treatment is carefully planned to ensure safety, comfort, and long-term success.

1. Consultation & 3D Imaging Your oral surgeon evaluates your oral health, reviews your medical history, and uses advanced 3D scans to design a personalized treatment plan.

2. Bone Grafting (If Needed) If there is insufficient bone, grafting may be performed to strengthen the jaw and support implant placement.

3. Implant Placement A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone. Over time, it fuses with the bone to create a strong, stable foundation.

4. Healing & Osseointegration The implant integrates with the jawbone over several weeks to months, ensuring long-term stability.

5. Custom Crown Placement A natural-looking crown is attached to complete your smile, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Types of Dental Implants

We offer a full range of implant solutions tailored to your needs:

  • Single Tooth Implants – Replace one missing tooth with a natural-looking result
  • Multiple Implants – Support bridges or replace several missing teeth
  • Full-Arch Implants (All-on-X) – Restore an entire arch with a fixed solution
  • Zygomatic Implants – Ideal for patients with severe bone loss
  • Zirconia Implants – Metal-free option for enhanced aesthetics

Comfortable Care With Anesthesia Options

We understand that many patients feel nervous about oral surgery. That is why we offer multiple anesthesia options to help you feel comfortable and confident throughout your procedure. Your oral surgeon will review the best option for your needs during your consultation.

What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?

Same-day dental implants allow for tooth extraction and implant placement in a single visit. This approach reduces treatment time and preserves bone structure. Not all patients are candidates, but with proper evaluation and sufficient bone support, this option can streamline your care and recovery.

What If I’m Missing Multiple Teeth?

Dental implants provide a superior alternative to traditional bridges and dentures. Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering healthy teeth. Unlike dentures, they are fixed in place and stimulate the jawbone to prevent bone loss.

Options include implant-supported bridges or full-arch restoration, depending on your needs.

Dental Implants vs. Dentures

While dentures rest on the gums and may shift over time, dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone. This provides greater stability, improved comfort, and long-term oral health benefits.

Implants also eliminate the need for adhesives and frequent replacements, making them a more permanent and reliable solution.

Cost of Dental Implants in San Francisco

The cost of dental implants varies based on your specific needs, including the number of implants, additional procedures like bone grafting, and the type of restoration.

During your consultation, we provide a detailed treatment plan and transparent pricing. We also offer financing options and work with many insurance providers to make care accessible.

"Hi, my name is Andrew, and I had a dental implant with Dr. Duncan. When I first came to Dr. Duncan’s office, it was very clean, organized. Dr. Duncan is very personable and came in, just kind of chatted and got to know each other and he was able to balance kind of comforting myself with respect to the procedure and letting me know kind of what was coming and then, you know, just nice conversation. The surgery went absolutely fine, and what was amazing to me is that I didn’t need to call him up for any questions or anything afterwards. I was surprised how easy the recovery went. Dr. Duncan made me feel comfortable and the fact that he explained everything clear, it all went well. I highly recommend 7x7 Oral Surgery."

"Hi, my name is Betty from San Francisco. I had a dental implant done by Dr. Scharf. The office here at West Portal is one of the friendliest, most professional offices I’ve ever been to. Everyone is always kind. They’re very efficient. It’s really a pleasure to come here. Before I came for surgery, I was really very nervous. I’d never had a tooth pulled, and I also had never been through the implant procedure before. Dr. Scharf is so professional and so skilled, and the minute he walks into the room, you know that he knows what he’s doing and he makes you feel so much better about the whole process. It worked one hundred percent, and it was a great experience. For my friends and family in Brisbane and Colma, I highly recommend 7x7 Oral Surgery."
