We are a general practice, and most of our work is implants. If you do not need a treatment, we will tell you so.
A titanium screw replaces the root of the tooth. You chew and clean it like a natural tooth, and it looks like one.
Starting at$1,500per implant · abutment and crown separateSee detailsFor dentures that slip
Your denture anchors onto three or four implants and stops shifting when you eat. You still take it out to clean it, but it no longer moves on its own.

Removing tartar and plaque above and below the gum. It is the cheapest treatment on the list and the one that prevents the expensive ones.
Starting at$95per sessionSee detailsMost people arrive without knowing what is actually going to be put in their mouth. So we start there: we show you the part, where it goes and what happens at each visit. Once you understand the treatment, the fear drops on its own.
No surprises, no “we’ll see”. This is the usual path of an implant.
1
We examine your mouth, take a scan and see how much bone you have. We explain the real options, including not operating at all.
One visit · about 45 minutes
2
You take home the plan with the full price, what your insurance covers, the visits needed and the dates. Nothing to sign that day.
With you within 48 hours
3
Under local anaesthetic, waiting for it to take full effect before starting. You leave with a temporary tooth and written instructions in large type.
Between 1 and 2 hours

Once the bone has integrated the implant, we fit the final crown. We book you in for a check at one month and at one year.
3 to 6 months laterAlmost nobody in this business publishes prices. We publish real ranges, because price is the first question and it deserves an answer.
These are ranges, not quotes, and the exact price depends on your bone and on how many teeth you need. We give it to you closed and in writing after the assessment, and it does not change unless you agree to a change. That list above is the whole list: there is no fifth line waiting on the invoice.
We verify your coverage before the first visit and tell you, in numbers, what the insurance pays and what you pay.
PPO
Medicare Advantage
We are in network with all of these plans. If yours is not listed, call us: in many cases there is out-of-network coverage and we work it out before you come in.
Financing from 6 to 72 months through CareCredit and others. We work out the monthly payment during the same visit, with no obligation.
And a warning almost nobody gives: “deferred interest” is not zero interest. If you do not clear the balance within the term, the interest accrued from day one is charged in full, all at once. We tell you your deadline and put it in writing.
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover implants or dentures. It has been excluded by statute since 1965 and that is not changing this year.
Many Medicare Advantage plans do carry some dental coverage, but almost always with an annual cap. The average cap is around $1,300 a year, and 59% of plans with extensive coverage cap at $1,000 or less. Against a $15,000 arch, a $1,300 cap covers roughly 9%.
We tell you here rather than in the chair. Bring your card and we check it in front of you in five minutes.
Plenty of people arrive after years of not setting foot in a dental office, sometimes after a bad experience and sometimes out of embarrassment. Nobody remarks on it here.
We believe a good experience starts with feeling calm and well cared for. That is why we apply local anaesthetic gently, patiently and without rushing, giving it the time it needs to take full effect.
Our goal is for you to relax and feel comfortable throughout the procedure, knowing that we are attentive to your wellbeing at every moment.
If you prefer, the first appointment is just talking and looking. No instruments. Many patients start that way.
A relative can come into the room with you and stay while we explain the plan.
We are not going to ask why you left it so long. We look at how your mouth is today and what can be done from here.
Before we begin we agree on a hand signal. If you use it, we stop immediately and without asking why. It is not a nice touch — it is what puts the person in the chair back in control.
At a dental practice you are not buying a service: you are trusting someone with your mouth. You are entitled to know who.

Placement is done under local anaesthetic: during the procedure you should feel no pain, only pressure and the sound of the instruments. Afterwards there is soreness. It is usually worst about six hours later, swelling peaks around two days, and by the third day most people manage on over-the-counter painkillers.
Studies comparing the two find that placing an implant is less uncomfortable than pulling a tooth. We work with local anaesthetic, applied calmly and given the time it needs to take effect. If you think you could not handle that, say so at the assessment and we will talk it through straight. We are not going to tell you it is painless, because it is not.
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not generally cover routine dental treatment or implants. Some Medicare Advantage plans do include dental coverage, usually with an annual limit.
Bring your card to the first visit and we verify it in front of you. If your plan does not cover it, we work out the monthly payment with financing before you decide anything.
Almost always it can still be done, even if the road is longer. When bone is missing there are options such as bone grafting or a sinus lift, and in some cases a different type of implant or a different technique.
That is exactly what the 3D scan at the first visit assesses. If in your particular case operating is not advisable, we will say so just as plainly.
From start to finish it is usually three to six months, because the bone has to integrate with the implant. If a graft is needed it can take longer.
Throughout the wait you wear a temporary tooth: at no point will you be without teeth.
Not necessarily, but it has to be assessed. Well-controlled diabetes does not rule out treatment; some osteoporosis medications and certain medical histories do call for precautions or change the plan.
That is why at the first visit we ask about your medical history and your medication. Bring the list, even if it is handwritten.
Yes, and it is what we recommend. The first visit is an assessment: we explain the options and you take the plan home. Nobody will ask you to sign or pay anything that day.
Come in, we take a look, we explain your options and you leave with the plan in writing. What you decide to do afterwards is entirely up to you.
The assessment includes an examination, a 3D scan and a written treatment plan, at no cost and with no obligation. The usual value of this first visit is $185.
