Dental implant healing time is usually 3-4 months. The process for single implants from surgery to restoration averages about 4 months. For a complete arch, or “all on 4” the process averages about 6 months. Cost for implants vary dependent upon each patient’s unique situation. Sometimes other procedures need to be done in conjunction with dental implant placement and can change the cost for the patient. Insurance can play a role in the cost as well. It is best to call the office and set up an evaluation and scan appointment to allow us to give you the most accurate estimate possible. Industry average for a single implant and restoration is $4000-6000.

We are happy to have our MS CRNA, Adam Kearns administer the sedation while the doctor is performing your dental procedure. We take your comfort and health very seriously and will offer the best option for you and your situation.
With any procedure done, there can be a level of discomfort. It is truly an individual journey as to the level of discomfort one may feel. The doctor will prescribe pain medication to help you manage any discomfort that may arise after your procedure. Please make sure you communicate with our clinical staff how you are feeling so we can make sure you are getting the level of care needed for your recovery.
