Request your
implant consultation.
Know your options first.

An implant consultation is a low-pressure hour: a 3D scan, an honest look at your options, and a written plan with real costs — so you can decide with everything in front of you. No obligation to move forward.

One hour,
no guesswork.

The point of the consultation is simple: give you a clear, honest picture of what implant treatment would actually involve for you — and what it would cost — before you commit to anything.

1
A 3D scan of your jaw · ~10 min

A low-radiation CBCT scan gives us a precise, three-dimensional view of your bone and the surrounding anatomy. This is what makes implant planning accurate instead of guesswork.

2
Exam & conversation · ~20 min

We look at the site, review your health history, and ask what matters most to you — chewing, appearance, avoiding dentures, budget. There are no wrong answers here.

3
Your real options, explained

Single-tooth implant, a bridge, full-arch All-on-4, or dentures anchored on implants — we walk through what fits your situation, and we'll tell you plainly if an implant isn't the right call.

4
A written plan & cost · ~10 min

You leave with a written treatment plan and an itemized estimate — what insurance covers, what's out of pocket, and financing options if you want them. No pressure, no same-day hard sell.

The implant experience
you'd otherwise drive
to St. Louis for.

Our practice has placed nearly 3,000 dental implants — an unusual volume for a general dental office, and the kind of case experience you'd normally only find at a specialty practice in the city. Whatever your situation, chances are we've treated it before, many times over.

Every implant is placed on-site — not referred out to St. Louis — as part of a real family practice that also handles your cleanings, crowns, and emergencies. One team, one place, start to finish.

Straight talk
on cost.

Implant pricing depends on the case, which is exactly why the consultation matters — you get a real number in writing, not a vague range. Most patients use one of these.

Common
questions.

Does the consultation cost anything?
There may be a fee for the 3D scan and exam, which many insurance plans put toward diagnostic coverage — we verify that for you first. If you move forward with treatment, it's typically credited toward your care. We'll be clear about any cost before you come in.
Do I need a referral?
No referral needed. Because we place implants on-site rather than sending you to a specialist in the city, you can request a consultation with us directly.
I've been told I don't have enough bone. Now what?
That's a common situation and often still workable. Bone grafting can rebuild the site, and full-arch approaches like All-on-4 are designed to use the bone you have. The 3D scan tells us exactly what's possible — bring your questions.
Can I be sedated for the procedure?
Yes. Nitrous oxide is available for anxiety, and IV sedation administered by a licensed anesthesiologist is available for longer procedures. Tell us at your consultation and we'll plan around your comfort.
How long does the whole implant process take?
It varies by case. Some full-arch patients leave with a temporary set of teeth the same day the implants are placed, while single implants often involve a healing period before the final crown. Your written plan will lay out the timeline for your specific situation.
