Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed directly into one's tooth root after a tooth has gone missing or has been extracted. They serve as a strong and lasting foundation beneath the gum line upon which a full set of permanent or removable prosthetic teeth, bridge or single tooth will be placed.

The All on 4 dental implant process starts with a consultation, where Dr. Akef and his highly skilled team of dental professionals will conduct a full dental examination, gather important information, and help answer any questions you have about the treatment plan.
The consultation process involves going over your dental and medical history, performing a CAT Scan for a detailed look into the existing state of your teeth, gums and jaw structure, and going over any fees and insurance coverages involved with the procedure.After the initial consultation, you are scheduled for a surgery date, when your dental implants are implanted and your temporary prosthetics are placed right in the comfort of our office.

I am very pleased so far with the work completed at San Diego Dental Implants & Periodontics. I had a sinus graft to prepare for three dental implants including a bone graft for another implant. That's four implants completed. Something, I thought was not possible I've lost all four of the teeth over 15 years ago and had no bone. The cost was very affordable. I've has many quotes over the years and Dr. Akef was able to deliver for less.

My experience with Dr. Akef was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I walked into the office, I was treated with care and attentive customer service. Dr. Akef knew exactly what I was looking for within minutes of showing him my gums. He performed a procedure to align my gum line for a more symmetrical look. Throughout the procedure I was really impressed with Dr. Akef's attention to how I was feeling, and his detailed eye for aesthetics. When numbing my mouth, he was extremely delicate and took his time, so the process was essentially pain-free! I would highly recommend Dr. Akef,

I have been a patient of De Anza Dentistry for a few years now. Dr. Akef and his staff are very caring, and efficient. I have a busy schedule and know if I have an appointment, I am seen in a timely fashion and aren't kept waiting. Dr. Akef always takes time to make sure I understand the treatment to be done and is very gentle. I have also seen other Doctors in this office and like Dr. Akef, they make me feel at ease and do a great job. I have and will recommend Dr. Akef to all my family and friends................

I have known doctor Jay Akef as my dental implant specialist and periodontist for over 15 years, since he did my first implant while I was living in San Diego area. I was very much impressed with his skill, knowledge, and professionalism.
Recently, when I needed another implant, although I had moved away to Valencia California, some four hours drive away through Los Angeles traffic, I did not hesitate to call upon him to do the implant.Although an implant surgery is by no means a simple operation, his skill and professionalism afforded the patients in his office, make the experience not an unpleasant

I've been going to De Anza Dentistry for years now. Whenever I need to go to the dentist for either a routine visit or to fix some problem, I always feel safe with his level of care and trust that he'll be very thorough. I used to eat a lot of sweets (I was a sugar fiend. What can I say?!?) and as a result I got a number of cavities but when I went to get them filled and crowned, I felt really comfortable during and after the procedure. I highly recommend them!

My wife and I had been going to a general dentist for many years. After having repeated problems with sensitive teeth we were referred to Dr. Akef at De Anza Dentistry. With their high resolution x-ray machines, Dr. Akef showed us how the previous dentist had installed faulty crowns on our teeth for both my wife and I. We sent the x-rays to the previous dentist, who accepted his mistakes and refunded our money. Dr. Akef, who is a Periodontist, also diagnosed extensive bone loss around one of my teeth, something that should have been diagnosed by the previous dentist before it became so extensive

After having numerous unsatisfactory experience at other dental offices, I was referred to Dr. Akef and brought my mother to De Anza Dentistry for her needed work. We couldn’t be happier in the results and professionalism that the entire staff has shown us. After my mom’s extensive implant procedures were done, I recommended my other members of family to see Dr. Akef for their needed work and preventative procedures. Needless to say that we are all very happy with the results and care that Dr. Akef has consistently presented. I highly recommend De Anza Dentistry to anyone in need of a great
