^{The big three questions}

What people want to know before booking

Here are honest answers to the questions that come up in almost every first conversation about implants.

The big three questions

“How much will this run me?”

At your consult you’ll get the complete price on paper before you sign off on anything. We run your PPO benefits ahead of time, so the figure already accounts for your coverage, and most PPO patients can also spread payments out.

“Will it be painful?”

The most common thing we hear afterward is that it was a lot less than expected. We keep the area numb, check in as we go, and explain what’s coming next so there are no surprises.

“Can I even get one?”

If you have a missing or failing tooth, the answer is usually yes. Active gum disease can get in the way, so if it’s present we handle gum disease treatment first. A short exam settles it: we measure, give you a straight answer, and show you your options, with zero pressure to go ahead.

^{Living with a missing tooth}

Losing a tooth isn’t a verdict on you.

Teeth get lost at every age, from an old sports injury, a root canal that didn’t hold, a crack, or simply genetics. The real effect is on the everyday stuff: what you order, how you laugh, how often you think about it. Here’s how that changes once the space is filled.

With the tooth replaced, the workarounds disappear: a smile that looks complete, chewing comfortably on both sides, and a tooth that’s anchored in place without adhesive or wobble. Implants placed two decades ago are still going strong in many mouths, and filling the space sooner helps stop the jaw and nearby teeth from shifting. Booking the first visit is a smaller step than living around the gap.

• Smiling in photos again
• Both sides back in action
• Order whatever you like
• Built to stay
• Anchored, never loose
• Out of mind

How it adds up

It’s the little adjustments: cropping yourself out of pictures, favoring one side, passing on foods you enjoy, or putting up with a partial that never feels natural. It often happens earlier in life than people expect, along with some embarrassment that isn’t deserved. Lots of people in their 20s and 30s are dealing with the same thing.

Let’s talk about it

Things patients tell us

“I keep my mouth closed in pictures.”

“I’ve been chewing on one side for years.”

“My partial still feels foreign.”

^{Why an implant}

As close as it gets to the tooth you lost

Whether you’re grabbing coffee in Belltown or out for dinner with friends, a tooth that feels like yours lets your attention stay on the moment, not on your mouth.

Why an implant

Feels like your own

An implant replaces the root as well as the visible tooth, so it looks and functions naturally. Patients who’ve had theirs for years say they forget which tooth it is.

Keeps the rest of your mouth stable

It stands alone instead of borrowing support from healthy neighbors like a bridge does. It also discourages nearby teeth from tipping into the space and helps the jawbone hold its shape. Filling the gap earlier preserves more bone.

A long-term fix

Cared for properly, implants commonly last for decades. We keep up with the cleanings and checkups that keep yours healthy.

Back to normal life

Most people aren’t chasing a perfect tooth. They just want to eat, laugh, and talk without a second thought. That’s what an implant gives back.

^{Your first visit}

Inside an implant consultation

What happens at the first appointment, and what you’ll know when you leave.

First, a conversation

Tell us what’s going on. Your dentist examines the area and explains what implant treatment would mean in your case.

Then, a look at the bone

We evaluate your bone and, when it’s useful, take a 3D scan so we know exactly how much support is there before making a recommendation.

A written plan and price

You leave with a clear treatment plan, the total cost in writing, and your PPO benefits confirmed, plus payment plan options if you’re on a PPO.

Your timeline, your call

Ready to go? We’ll book treatment around your calendar. Need time to think? No problem at all.

^{Pricing & coverage}

No guessing on price

Cost is the first thing most people look up about implants, so we put the full treatment cost in writing at your consultation. Most PPO plans are accepted, we check your benefits for you, and most PPO patients can choose a payment plan to keep it manageable.

If something like a 3D scan isn’t covered, we’ll tell you that cost upfront so nothing shows up unexpectedly on your bill. We see implant patients from all over Seattle.

^FAQ

Implant FAQs

Helpful answers

What does an implant cost?

The price depends on how many teeth are being replaced, the crown you choose, and any extra steps such as a bone graft or 3D scan. Because every case is different, the most accurate way to get a number is to call us at (206) 225-2882, or book a consult and we’ll give you the full written price with your PPO benefits factored in and payment plans available for most PPOs.

Will my insurance pay for an implant?

Many PPO plans pay toward implant treatment. We accept most PPO plans and look up your benefits so you know what’s covered before you commit. Every plan is different, so tell us yours when you book and we’ll check. (Medicare and most state programs typically don’t include implants, and we’ll always show you your true out-of-pocket cost first.) See our insurance & financing details.

Is implant surgery painful?

Most people find it far easier than they feared. You’re kept comfortable throughout, and we explain each step as we go. Any tenderness afterward is usually mild and over within a few days.

How does an implant replace a tooth?

A small post goes into the jaw where the root used to be, and over a few months the bone grows snugly around it. When it’s solid, we attach a custom crown shaded to match your other teeth, so it looks and works like the original.

Should I get an implant, a bridge, or a denture?

A bridge leans on the teeth next to the gap, and a denture rests on the gums. An implant supports itself, replaces the root, and leaves your other teeth alone, which is why it usually feels most natural and lasts longest. We’ll go over which option suits your situation and budget.

I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone. Now what?

You may still qualify. A bone graft can add the support an implant needs. We measure your bone first, with a 3D scan if it helps, so whether you’re a candidate is never a guess.

How long is recovery, and when can I eat normally?

Stick to soft foods for a little while after the implant is placed, then work your way back to your usual meals as it heals. We’ll give you clear, specific instructions for your case.

Are implants worth the investment?

It’s usually the second question after price, and people who’ve had an implant for years tend to say yes. Since it replaces the root, it feels like a natural tooth and doesn’t strain the teeth around it. We’ll lay out the honest pros, cons, and cost for your situation so you can make the call.

How long do implants last?

With regular care, implants often last for decades, and many placed 10 or 20 years ago are still in use. We schedule your ongoing cleanings, which most plans cover, to help yours go the distance.

Why do implants fail, and how do you prevent it?

Implants have an excellent long-term track record, though no treatment is completely risk-free. The key is keeping the gum and bone around the implant healthy. We reduce the risk by evaluating your bone beforehand (and grafting when needed), placing the implant carefully, and keeping you on regular cleanings. If you grind your teeth, a night guard adds protection. And if anything ever feels wrong, come see us right away.

Are implants safe? What about MRIs?

Implants are a proven, widely used treatment made from body-safe materials, and having one doesn’t prevent you from getting an MRI. Just let your imaging team know about it, like you would any dental work.
