Dental Implants & The Prime Life Smile ™

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most people who think they aren’t — are. The most common reasons patients are turned away elsewhere are bone loss and medical complexity, both of which are manageable far more often than people realize. The only accurate way to know is a proper evaluation with 3D imaging. If you’ve been told no somewhere else, come in for a second opinion. We’ll tell you the truth.

Surgery is performed under IV sedation — you feel nothing during the procedure. Afterward, most patients report far less discomfort than they expected, managed comfortably with prescribed medication. The recovery feels much more like a healing period than a painful ordeal.

You leave with a full, fixed smile the same day as surgery. You will not go through this process with a gap in your smile at any point.

From your first consultation to your final smile, the total timeline is typically four to six months. The bulk of that time is your body fusing bone around the implants at its own pace — you’re living your life with a full smile in the meantime. Active appointment time is six visits.

Bone grafting is included in every case that needs it. For patients with severe upper jaw bone loss, zygomatic implants make the Dream Smile™ possible even when traditional placement isn’t viable. If you’ve been told no elsewhere — come in for a second opinion.

There is no upper age limit for dental implants. Candidacy is determined by your bone health and overall medical condition — not your age. We treat patients across a wide range of ages and health profiles.

The Prime Life Smile ™ is Prime Life Dental’s full-arch implant solution — a fixed, permanent set of teeth anchored to implants and designed around your face, your bite, and your bone anatomy. It’s what the industry calls All-on-4 or All-on-X, delivered through the Prime Life Smile Protocol™ — Dr. Bhullar’s proprietary five-step process that covers everything from your first 3D scan to your final smile.

It’s the five-step process Dr. Bhullar developed and teaches to dentists across the world through the 3D Implant Institute and The Implant Zone. It covers your assessment, smile design, surgery, fabrication, and long-term maintenance — with one doctor accountable at every step. It’s not the standard model. It’s a better one.

Most full-arch implant cases move through a fragmented system — different providers, outside labs, third-party sedation teams. At Prime Life Dental, everything stays under one roof. Dr. Bhullar is the only Board-Certified Implant Diplomate in San Jose, performs your surgery using the Yomi robotic surgical system, administers your IV sedation personally, and oversees your final restoration. The lab is in the building. The care is comprehensive — including PRF therapy, photobiomodulation, and a holistic approach that accounts for your full health picture.

Yes. For patients seeking a metal-free option, we place ceramic implants — a biocompatible alternative available for single tooth replacement.

Every Prime Life Smile ™ is backed by the Prime Life Smile Warranty™ — lifetime* on implants, with a sliding scale on prosthetics including 100% replacement coverage in the first two years. Full warranty conditions are reviewed at your consultation.

Cost & Financing

How much do implants cost?

The cost varies depending on your case — which is why we include free 3D imaging and a complete all-inclusive treatment plan at your consultation, before you commit to anything. What you’re quoted is what you pay. No line-item surprises after the fact.

Because everything stays in-house. No outside lab. No third-party sedation provider. No specialist referrals. Each of those is an invoice in the traditional model — and each one gets passed to you. When one highly credentialed doctor does everything himself under one roof, the overhead disappears and the savings pass directly to you.

Yes. We work with a full network of leading healthcare lenders including CareCredit, Proceed Finance, LendingClub, Cherry, and Health Care Finance Direct. High approval rates, soft credit checks, and plans available across all credit tiers. The financing conversation happens at your consultation — free, before you commit to anything.

Full-arch implants are generally not covered by insurance. We are out of network with all plans — but we accept all PPO plans, file claims directly on your behalf, and apply every applicable dollar to your treatment cost before calculating your out-of-pocket number. Our team handles the paperwork. You get the credit.

Sedation & Comfort

What sedation options do you offer?

Three levels — IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide. We’ll recommend the right option based on your anxiety level, health history, and the complexity of your procedure.

Dr. Bhullar personally — the same doctor performing your treatment. He is a State IV Sedation Examiner, meaning he’s one of the dental professionals California licenses to evaluate and certify other practices on their sedation competency. You’re in the most qualified hands available.

Most IV sedation patients remember nothing. You close your eyes and wake up done. Oral sedation patients typically remember very little. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly with full memory intact.

For IV sedation and oral sedation, you’ll need a trusted person to drive you home. For nitrous oxide, you’re clear to drive yourself.

The Practice & Our Doctors

What makes Prime Life Dental different from other practices?
