Dental implants in San Jose: what to know
An implant replaces a missing tooth root with a small post in the jawbone, which later supports a crown, bridge or denture. Treatment usually takes a few months from start to finish because the bone needs to heal around the implant.
Who places implants?
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists often place the implant. Prosthodontists and general dentists often design and fit the tooth on top. Many general dentists also place implants. Ask who does each step and how many cases like yours they have handled.
Our directory lists 4 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, 26 periodontists and 8 prosthodontists with a practice address in San Jose.
Tips before you commit
- Ask for a written plan with every phase priced, including extractions, bone grafts, the abutment and the final crown.
- Ask whether a 3D (CBCT) scan is included.
- Ask which implant system is used and whether parts are widely available.
- Compare at least two opinions for multi-tooth or full-arch plans.
- Check what your insurance covers. Some plans pay toward the crown but not the implant.
See our implant cost guide for general national estimate ranges, and implants vs. bridges to compare options.

Frequently asked questions
Am I a candidate for a dental implant?
Most healthy adults with enough jawbone can be. Uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking and some medications can affect healing. A dentist will check with an exam and imaging.
Does getting an implant hurt?
It is done under local anesthesia, and sedation is often available. Most people report soreness for a few days that is managed with over-the-counter pain relief as directed.
How long do implants last?
With good hygiene and regular checkups, implants can last many years. The crown on top may need replacement over time.
What if I don't have enough bone?
Bone grafting or a sinus lift can often rebuild the area before or during implant placement.
