Replace a single missing tooth with a permanent dental implant, indistinguishable from a natural tooth. Our $1,999 price includes everything: the implant, the abutment, the crown, and the 3D scan. No surprise bills.
Implants beat bridges and dentures on every metric: function, longevity, bone health, and total cost over time.
Front, back, top, bottom, single-tooth implants work in any position with adequate bone.
Traditional bridges require shaving down the two adjacent healthy teeth. Implants don't touch them.
Even years later, implants are still possible. Bone graft may be needed if loss is severe, we'll know from the 3D scan.
An implant lasts a lifetime with proper care. Bridges typically need replacement every 10β15 years.
Most adults are candidates regardless of age. Diabetes, heart conditions, etc. usually fine with proper management.
All-on-4 at $12,500/arch is dramatically more cost-effective than 8+ single implants.
You may need zygomatic implants instead, a procedure most clinics can't offer but we do.
We need to treat periodontal issues first. Once your gums are healthy, the implant can proceed.
Smoking 1+ pack/day significantly raises failure risk. We'll discuss cessation support at the consultation.
A single implant costs more upfront, but over 20 years, it's the cheapest, healthiest, and most permanent solution.
Single-tooth implants are routine. Most patients are surprised at how quick and uneventful each step is.
30-minute appointment. CBCT scan, oral exam, treatment plan with exact pricing.
If the failing tooth is still in place, we extract it under local anesthesia or sedation. Often we can place the implant the same day in the empty socket.
The titanium implant is placed into your jaw under local anesthesia (sedation available). You go home the same day with mild soreness only.
The implant fuses with your jaw bone, locking it in permanently. You wear a small temporary crown for visibility if it's a front tooth.
Once integrated, we attach the custom abutment and color-matched porcelain crown. The crown is indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Single-tooth implants benefit from the same 3D imaging and computer-guided precision as our All-on-4 cases.
Maps your jaw in 360Β° to determine exact implant placement around nerves, sinuses, and bone density.
Surgical guide produced from your scan. Sub-millimeter precision means smaller incisions and faster healing.
We place Neodent implants, a premium fixture brand owned by Straumann, the global leader in dental implants. Color-matched porcelain crowns custom-shaded to your existing teeth.

Both Dr. Maninder and Dr. Tanvir Singh are University of the Pacific graduates with deep training in implant dentistry. They place implants daily at Apex.

University of the Pacific graduate. Co-owner of a dental practice in Fair Oaks. Hundreds of implants placed. Also serves as a general dentist for the U.S. military, providing emergency dental care for soldiers prior to deployment.

UOP Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry graduate. Active member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), working toward Diplomate status. Internationally trained, licensed to practice in the U.S. Canada, and India.
Yes. The $1,999 covers the titanium implant, the custom abutment, and the porcelain crown. The free 3D CT scan and free consultation are included. The only situations where you'd pay more: if you need an extraction, bone graft, or sinus lift before the implant, and we tell you those exact prices at the consultation, never after.
Minimal discomfort. Implant placement is typically done under local anesthesia, you'll feel pressure but no pain. Most patients describe day-after as 'less than a wisdom tooth.' Sedation is available.
Typically 4β6 months from start to final crown. The implant placement itself is one visit (60β90 minutes). The longest part is the 3β4 month healing period while the implant integrates.
Often yes, it's called immediate placement. If your existing tooth needs to come out and the bone around it is healthy, we can extract and place the implant in the same visit.
A single dental implant is designed to last a lifetime. Decades of clinical data show titanium implants remain functional for 25+ years with proper hygiene.
Yes. CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry. A typical $1,999 implant finances around $69/month over 36 months.
Most PPO plans cover a portion of dental implants, typically 50% of the implant or crown. We'll run your benefits at the consultation.
We're a specialty surgical center focused exclusively on implants. Our volume (20,000+ implants placed) means we negotiate better rates with manufacturers and labs.
When a tooth is extracted or lost, the body has three replacement options: a removable partial denture, a fixed bridge that uses the two adjacent teeth as anchors, or an implant that integrates directly with the jaw bone. Each works in the short term β but only one of them preserves the surrounding teeth and the underlying bone over a multi-decade horizon. A bridge requires that the two healthy neighbor teeth be ground down to receive crowns, permanently altering teeth that had no problem before the procedure. A partial denture sits on the gum line and accelerates bone resorption underneath. An implant is the only option that replaces the root structure of the missing tooth, which is what keeps the jaw bone stimulated and prevents the slow facial structural changes that follow long-term tooth loss.
The procedure itself is straightforward at a specialty center: a 60-90 minute appointment for placement, a 3-4 month healing period while the titanium fixture integrates with bone (osseointegration), then a single follow-up visit to attach the abutment and the porcelain crown. Most patients return to work the next day. The all-inclusive $1,999 covers the implant fixture, the abutment, the crown, the consultation, and the 3D CT scan β meaning the price you're quoted at the consultation is the price you pay. Where additional work is required (extraction of the failing tooth, bone graft, or sinus lift), we tell you that price up front, before any procedure begins, never as a surprise on a later invoice.
The implant brand we use is Neodent (Straumann group) β a premium Swiss-engineered fixture that we deliberately chose over the budget alternatives that drive other clinics' lower-quote pricing. Neodent's surface treatment shortens the integration window, and Straumann's published long-term clinical data is the strongest in the industry. The crown is fabricated by a US-based dental lab using a digital workflow from our 3D scan, color-matched to your existing teeth, and seated by our specialty team.
30 minutes. CBCT scan ($350 value, free). Honest treatment plan with exact pricing. Zero pressure to commit.
