We take pride in the quality of care we provide for our patients. It is our desire to provide you with the information you need to help you make a decision if dental implants are right for you. We will work with your restorative dentist during this process from start to finish. If you are interested in dental implants we prefer that you speak with your dentist first to obtain a referral. Our implant consultations are done at no cost. The consult consists of an exam, current x-ray, and thorough explanation of the surgical procedure specific to your needs.

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding dental implants:

1. What is a dental implant?
   A titanium screw inserted into the bone to which a tooth or denture is attached.
2. How much does it cost?
   Implants cost approximately $1500.00-$1800.00. Each case is unique; the exact cost will be given to you at the time of consultation.
3. Is it covered by insurance?
   All insurance policies are different and we will check with your insurance to help determine benefits. If you would like to check yourself, feel free to call the number on the back of your insurance card or check your benefits booklet.
4. Can you be allergic to an implant?
   Implants are made of titanium and there has never been a reported case of an allergy to this metal.
