Frequently Asked Questions
How much do implants cost?
There are at least nine factors that affect the cost of dental implants: the type of implant, the number of doctors involved in the process, lab costs, the extent of surgery required, the materials used for the final teeth, the warranty, whether the teeth are snap-in and snap-out or you get a set of teeth that are fixed in place and do not come out, and the experience and training of your doctor. At our office, we handle everything under one roof and can pass any savings on to our patients. One experienced doctor, one fee.
What are the steps to getting new teeth?
There are four steps. The process begins with a consultation, exam, and x-rays. At that time, we will determine whether you are a candidate for new teeth with dental implants. Step 2: We take records and make the necessary measurements, then we design your new smile. Step 3: At the surgical appointment, you will be numbed up, and sedation will be offered. Step 4: You will enjoy your new healthy teeth and gums. Before you know it, you will be eating the foods you enjoy and smiling all over town.
What is the downtime and recovery like after the surgery?
Most patients take it easy for the first few days. Many will take over-the-counter pain relievers the next day, and for others, we offer prescription medication to handle any discomfort. Patients tell us that the process was much easier and more tolerable than they expected.
What is the doctor’s experience with dental implants?
(Please read the doctor’s bio on the website.) Experience matters and the technology the doctor is utilizing makes for better and faster outcomes.
Will I need bone grafting?
With the newer surgical techniques and modern dental implant design, there is minimal if any bone grafting that will be necessary.
What is the upper age range of patients who get this procedure?
Patients across the country who are getting new teeth with dental implants range in age from over 70 to 102 years old.
Does dental insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid cover dental implant procedures?

Note: Everyone’s case is different, and treatment is individualized. Not everyone is a candidate, and there can be risks associated with the procedure based on a patient's current health status. When you meet with the doctor, you will receive a custom treatment plan and health assessment, which will be explained to you on the day of the consultation and evaluation appointment.
