Dental Implants & Implant Restorations in Cupertino, CA
For anyone missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution. Dr. Bouzid provides advanced dental implant surgery and implant restoration
to help you regain your smile and ability to eat and speak clearly.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium screws surgically implanted in your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. These artificial roots provide a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or fixed dentures. Because they integrate with your bone, implants offer unmatched stability and can help preserve facial structure and prevent bone loss.
Dental Implant Restorations are the visible portion of the replacement teeth. The restorations are permanently attached to the implants using slender pins known as abutments. Dr. Bouzid designs and fabricates restorations that seamlessly blend with existing natural teeth for a natural appearance.
Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life.

Evaluation for Dental Implants
If like many others, you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we ask that you undergo a dental/radiographic examination and health history. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and considerations will be addressed by either Dr. Bouzid or by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon referred by our practice. Your questions and concerns are important to us and our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The process begins with a consultation and advanced imaging to determine if dental implant surgery is appropriate for you. If you are a candidate, Dr. Bouzid will proceed with the process, which involves several steps.
- Surgical Placement: Our skilled implant surgeon, Dr. Bouzid, places the implants in the jawbone.
- Healing Phase: Over the next few months (typically 3-6), the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration.
- Implant Restoration: Once the implants are stable and fully fused with the surrounding bone, we attach custom-made crowns or dental prostheses to restore your dental function.
Surgical Advances in Dental Implants
Dental implant placement is a surgical and restorative procedure. Dr. Bouzid performs the initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting if necessary, then followed by the implant placement. The permanent prosthesis is typically performed 6 to 8 weeks after the implant has been placed. Dr.Bouzid will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants in Cupertino at iTooth Dental means enjoying long-term benefits you will not find with other types of dental restorations, including:
- A natural look and feel
- Strong bite and chewing ability
- Preservation of jawbone and facial structure
- No damage to surrounding teeth

Cost and Financing
Because each implant restoration is unique, based on the number of implants, the type of restorations used, the type of anesthesia used, and other factors, it is difficult to estimate the cost of your implant restoration without an examination and X-rays. However, we do everything we can to make implant surgery accessible. iTooth Dental accepts most dental insurance plans and proudly offers CareCredit financing to help you manage out-of-pocket expenses comfortably.
