[Dental Implants] StarBrite Dental

Built to last, not just to fit.

A titanium post takes the place of the root. A custom crown takes the place of the tooth. Together they function like the real thing — planned and placed by Dr. Munira Lokhandwala in Fremont & Dublin.

[Why it holds up]

The only replacement that replaces the root, too.

Bridges and dentures sit on top of the gum. An implant is anchored into the bone itself — which is why it's one of the most stable, long-term ways to replace a missing tooth.

Material

Medical-grade titanium

The same material used in joint replacements — biocompatible, and built to fuse with bone over time.

Function

Bites and chews like a natural tooth

Because it's anchored in bone, an implant doesn't shift or click the way a removable partial can.

Longevity

Bone health, preserved

Missing teeth let jaw bone shrink over time. An implant provides the same stimulation a natural root did, helping preserve the bone around it.

[Anatomy]

Three parts, one system

Post

A titanium screw placed into the jaw bone, standing in for the natural tooth root.

Abutment

A small connector piece that links the post below the gumline to the crown above it.

Crown

A custom-shaded, custom-shaped replacement tooth — the only part anyone else will ever see.

[In her own words]

“I was so scared — but I didn't feel a thing.”

[Good to know]

Common questions

Am I a candidate for implants? +

Most healthy adults with enough jaw bone are candidates. We'll confirm with a scan at your consult, and talk through options if bone grafting is needed first.

How long does the whole process take? +

Placement is one appointment; the post then needs a few months to fuse with the bone before the crown goes on. We'll map your exact timeline at the consult.

Is it painful? +

The procedure is done under local anesthesia. Most patients describe recovery as similar to a tooth extraction — manageable with standard aftercare.

What if I'm missing more than one tooth? +

Implants can anchor a single crown, a bridge, or a full denture — we'll size the plan to how many teeth you're replacing.
