Questions, answered

Most adults with a missing or failing tooth are. We confirm it with a 3D scan that shows your bone height and density, and if you are short on bone we can often build it back with a small graft before placement.

The procedure itself is done under local anesthetic with sedation options, so you feel pressure at most. Most patients tell us the recovery was far easier than the tooth problem that brought them in.

A single implant with its crown is quoted as one flat figure after your scan, with no surprise add-ons. We review every number with you up front and can spread it over monthly payments through our financing partners.

All-on-4 anchors a full fixed arch of teeth on four implants. In most cases we place the implants and attach a fixed temporary arch on the same day, then swap in your final arch once healing is complete.

A well-placed implant is designed to be permanent, and with routine cleanings the large majority are still going strong decades later. The crown on top may need replacing eventually, like any restoration.
