About Columbia Center for Implants & Periodontics - Sanju Jose, DDS, MDS
There isn't enough bone. That sentence stalls a lot of implant plans, and it usually turns up after a tooth has been gone for a year or more, or after an extraction that healed without a graft. It is not a refusal. It is a sequencing problem: the ridge has to be rebuilt or the sinus floor lifted before a fixture can be anchored, which adds months to the timeline and a separate line to the estimate. Patients come to Dr. Sanju Jose's Dobbin Road practice specifically to have that assessment made properly rather than guessed at.
Dr. Jose earned his dental degree at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, completed a general practice residency at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, and finished postgraduate periodontics training at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. The clinical work here is surgical throughout: single and full-arch implant placement, bone grafting and sinus augmentation, extraction with site preservation, osseous surgery, and treatment for gum disease and recession. Implant position is planned digitally and executed with navigated and robotic guidance rather than freehand, which counts most in the tight cases. A narrow ridge, a nerve sitting close to the site, an upper front tooth where a millimeter of angulation changes how the crown looks. Appointments that run long can be carried out under intravenous sedation.
On scheduling, the office opens at 8am Monday through Friday, closes at 5pm most days and earlier on Tuesday, with limited Saturday availability. Because this is a referral-based specialty practice, the rhythm is consultation and scan first, surgery on a later date, healing, then a return to your own dentist for the crown or bridge that sits on top. Bring your general dentist's name and any recent X-rays to the first visit. It shortens the loop considerably.
6395 Dobbin Road sits in east Columbia near the Route 175 shopping strip, convenient from Oakland Mills, Long Reach, Elkridge and the Jessup side of Howard County. Two things worth saying plainly: grafting is usually staged, so the full treatment span can run six to nine months rather than a few weeks, and the fee depends on how much reconstruction a site needs before an implant is even placed. Ask for the staged estimate, not the headline number.

I would not recommend this practice. My care was satisfactory for the molar extraction and implant, March - July, 2025. I was told all was healed and to see my regular dentist for crown measurement in December, 2025. My dentist, after taking an x-ray, informed me that the implant had failed, most likely early on. My dentist and I have requested my records from this office - via email, verbally in person, voicemail and certified mail. Zero response. I returned for assessment in February 2026. X-rays and a CT scan were done. The doctor was abrupt, did not share image results, gave no explanation and stated that an exploratory procedure was needed. I requested a cost estimate for the exploratory procedure, as insurance will not cover a redo. Again, no response. I realize that implants can fail, but such unprofessional behavior is not acceptable.
Super duper nice
I need to recommend the Columbia Center for Implants and Periodontics. I knew I wanted to get implants and researched and interviewed with many. After I interviewed with the Columbia Center for Implants and Periodontics, I was convinced this was the place to go. Their knowledge, time spent to explain and time for questions was impressive. Then I asked their prices and was convinced this was it! I couldn’t beat their price. Dr. Jose is absolutely amazing, he is so knowledgeable and does great work. You know you are in good hands. Every staff member is exceptional! Clearly, I cannot say enough about this practice! Highly recommend!!
Hands down best place in the world to go for implants and All on X implant surgeries. Genuine people working hard and using the best technologies available.
Wonderful experience here! Dr Jose is so nice!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Dr. Jose and the entire team. I was very anxious about dental implants, but the option of IV sedation made the entire process comfortable and stress-free. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. The sedation was smooth and effective—I honestly don’t remember the procedure itself, but I woke up feeling calm and pain-free. Dr. Jose explained everything clearly beforehand, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt completely safe. My recovery was quicker than I expected, and I am excited to see the final results in a few short months. If you are nervous about dental surgery or implants, I highly recommend Dr. Jose. Their skill, compassion, and use of IV sedation truly set them apart. This was the best dental experience I’ve ever had, and I’m so grateful for the entire team.
I was referred here by my dentist for needing a tooth extraction and implant due to infection. Overall, I had a great experience. The facility is modern and very clean. The entire staff was friendly and professional, and took time to answer all of my questions and concerns. My first appointment was a consultation that included a CT scan not covered by my insurance, and they made sure I was informed about it. They ran everything through my insurance provider and provided an itemized estimate for the entire procedure in the same appointment. I really appreciate their transparency on the cost of the procedure. Dr.Jose had a great sense of humor and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the surgery. The procedure itself was quick and went smoothly. I would definitely come back if I need anything in the future (but hopefully not), and would highly recommend!
Getting my full dental implants with Dr. Jose and his team was the best decision I’ve ever made. I no longer worry about tooth or breaking teeth when I eat. The state of the art technology they use ensured my implants look completely natural. If you have thought about having implants done, wether it’s one, or an entire set, this is the place to go!
Dr. Jose is simply the best. He is honest and reasonable … Two qualities you would want from any and every care provider. His standards are extremely high and he backs his skills and years of experience. If he or the patient is not satisfied with the result, then he is willing to correct any issue within reason. Not to mention, his personality lights up the room and makes the operation sessions go by quick and with ease. Strongly recommended!!
