Cost can vary depending on your insurance coverage, the specifics of your treatment, and how many teeth are involved. To help you plan ahead, we offer a Complimentary Benefit Check before your visit. We’ll confirm any coverage details, deductibles, and estimated out-of-pocket costs—so there are no surprises when it’s time for treatment.
Yes — we offer flexible financing options, including third-party financing provider, to make your dental treatment more affordable and manageable within your budget.
Absolutely! We offer virtual consultations so you can discuss your oral health concerns, explore treatment options, and receive estimates—all from the comfort of your home.
Implants are the closest thing to natural teeth. They don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support like bridges, and they’re fixed—so no slipping like dentures. Plus, they help preserve your jawbone and facial structure long-term.
Absolutely. We offer nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) as well as oral or IV sedation options to help you stay calm and comfortable throughout crown procedures. Our team will recommend the best approach based on your needs and medical history.
1. The Tooth Behind the Space Tips Over
- Teeth tend to move forward your midline if no tooth is in front of it. This leads to mesial tipping of the neighboring teeth.
2. The Tooth Above the Space Drops Down, or Sinks
- Extrusion, or a tooth drooping out of the socket, occurs when a tooth does not have a partner. This frequently happens on upper molars that have sinuses pushing upper molars out of the socket when they expand from sinus pressure.
3. The Bone Where the Tooth Was Removed “Melts” Away
- Bone loss occurs following the first 6-12 mos and affecting levels on bone adjacent teeth, leading to mobile teeth and recession. Bone Grafting and Dental Implants keep the area functional and bone levels higher.
4. Remaining Teeth in Your Mouth Must Do Extra Work
- If no Dental Implant is placed, remaining healthy teeth are required to perform additional chewing, leading to increased chances of breakage, and further dental treatment.
Implants are a permanent solution, offering better stability, improved chewing, and a natural appearance compared to dentures or bridges.
If there isn’t enough bone height in your upper jaw—often due to natural bone loss or sinus expansion—you may need a sinus lift. We’ll check this with a 3D scan and let you know during your consultation.
Out-of-network means your dentist doesn’t have a set payment deal with your insurance company. You can still go to them, but your insurance might cover less of the cost, so you’ll pay more than you would with an in-network dentist. Sometimes, depending on your plan, your insurance may not pay anything — in that case, you would pay the full amount yourself.
Dental Implants are 3 parts.
A life-like tooth colored crown is connected to the implant below the gums with an internal connector called an abutment that permanently fixes the two together.
They can be flossed and fit in with your life style and help with having a full smile and chewing meals.
There’s no strict upper age limit for dental implants—as long as you’re in good health and have sufficient bone, you may be a candidate. We’ve successfully placed implants in patients in their 70s and 80s. For younger patients, implants are generally recommended only once the jawbone has fully developed, which is usually in the late teens to early 20s.
Most people feel well enough to return to work or light activity the next day. If your job is physically demanding, we might recommend a bit more downtime.
Very stable! Once fully healed, implants function just like natural teeth. You can bite, chew, and speak confidently without worrying about movement.
Yes—in a good way. Implants help preserve your jawbone and prevent the “sunken” appearance that can happen when teeth are missing. They support your facial structure just like real roots.
Yes, implants can anchor bridges or snap-in dentures for a more stable, comfortable fit. This is a great option if you're missing multiple teeth.
A surgical stent, also called a surgical guide, is a custom-made tool that helps the dentist place a dental implant in exactly the right spot. It fits over your teeth or gums and shows the dentist the best angle and position for the implant. This makes the procedure more accurate and helps ensure the final result looks and functions like a natural tooth.
A CBCT 3D X-ray (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a special type of dental imaging that creates a detailed 3D picture of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Unlike regular X-rays that show just one flat image, a CBCT scan gives us a full view from all angles. This helps us see things like bone density, tooth roots, and nerve locations much more clearly, which is especially helpful for planning procedures like dental implants. The scan is quick, painless, and gives us the information we need to provide safe and accurate treatment.
