We're pro-patient. National chains have helped many people get implants — they're a real option, and we respect them. We just believe a single-doctor, in-house model produces a more consistent result for the patient, with lower lifetime cost on most cases. We invite patients to compare both honestly. If a national chain is right for you, go to a national chain.

Will you really give me a complimentary second opinion?

Yes. Bring your CBCT scan and treatment plan from another office and we'll review it with you at no charge. We won't disparage the other office — we'll just tell you what we'd do differently and why.

Is your pricing actually cheaper?

Our starting price on an apples-to-apples All-on-6 (six implants + IV sedation + same-day arch + final zirconia restoration) is $24,000 per arch, all-inclusive in writing. We can't speak to other practices' current pricing — always ask for an itemized written quote. The bigger difference is what's in the quoted price: we don't add charges later for grafting, sedation, or 'premium' arch material — it's all in the original quote.

What if I already paid a deposit at another practice?

Most deposits are at least partially refundable — check your contract. Even if you've paid, it's worth getting a second opinion on the treatment plan before the surgical date. Many patients save thousands and avoid unnecessary procedures by getting a second set of eyes on the plan.

Do you accept the same insurance?

We accept most PPO plans. Your consultation includes a benefits review so you'll know exactly what's covered before treatment. For amounts insurance doesn't cover, we offer 0% APR financing up to $60,000 — typically better terms than chain-practice financing.
