Where does it hurt
Three problems, one visit
A tooth that hurts
Throbbing, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when you bite. Pain usually means something needs attention now, while you still have more options.
A broken or cracked tooth
A chip, a crack, or a tooth that snapped off. Some can be rebuilt with a crown. Some can't, and an implant is the long-term fix.
A missing tooth
Whether it came out last week or years ago, the gap changes how you chew and how your other teeth sit. An implant fills it with a tooth that works like the one you lost.
Why an implant
The closest thing to getting the tooth back
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone where the root used to be. Over the next few months the bone grows around it and locks it in, which is what makes it strong enough to chew on normally.
Once it has healed, a crown goes on top. It looks like a tooth, you brush it like a tooth, and unlike a bridge, the healthy teeth on either side are left alone.
Implants also protect your jawbone. Bone stays strong from the pressure of chewing through a root. When a tooth is lost, that bone slowly shrinks. An implant brings the pressure back.
Save it or replace it. You'll know which.
Not every hurting or broken tooth needs to come out. If yours can be saved, Dr. Gupta will tell you. If it can't, she'll explain why and what replacing it looks like. You get told what you need, not a sales pitch.
If it can be saved
Fillings, crowns and root canals that bring a tooth back to full function.
If it needs replacing
A single implant and crown, planned and placed here in San Jose.

Common questions
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Your implant consultation with Dr. Gupta costs nothing, and there's no obligation to go ahead with anything.
My tooth hurts right now. What should I do?
Fill in the short form on this page and mention the pain. Dental emergencies get priority, for new patients and existing ones.
Can my tooth be saved, or does it need to come out?
It depends on how much healthy tooth and root is left. Many broken or painful teeth can be saved with a crown or a root canal. Dr. Gupta will tell you honestly which it is at your visit.
What is a dental implant?
A small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, topped with a crown that looks and works like a natural tooth.
Is an implant better than a bridge?
A bridge relies on reshaping the healthy teeth on either side. An implant stands on its own and leaves those teeth alone. Dr. Gupta will go over which makes sense for you.
How long does an implant take?
The implant is placed in one visit. The bone then heals around it for a few months before the permanent crown goes on. You'll get a timeline for your case at your consultation.
Does it hurt?
Dr. Gupta will talk you through numbing and comfort options before anything begins. Most people are surprised how manageable it is.
Do you take my insurance? Can I make payments?
We'll go over your insurance and payment options with you at your free consultation.
