The honest answer is: it depends — on how many teeth are involved and what plan actually fits your mouth. Anyone quoting a flat number without examining you first isn't giving you an accurate one. That's why we start with a comprehensive consultation — currently 50% off at $244, down from $488 — including full records, scans, photos, and a jaw and soft-tissue analysis, so you get a straight answer on your implant cost, with no hidden fees added later.
Placement is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure itself. Most patients describe the after-effects as similar to having a tooth removed — some mild discomfort and swelling for a few days, managed easily with standard pain relief.
Most patients stick to softer foods for the first few days after placement and are back to their normal diet and daily routine within a week to ten days. We'll give you clear, written guidance so recovery is predictable, not something you're left guessing about.
Think of the difference between flying first class and economy — same destination, but one experience is rushed, and the other, you're looked after every step of the way. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, from your very first visit to the day treatment is complete, not just during the appointment.
Done properly, dental implants are built to last decades — for many patients, a lifetime, making them one of the most durable options in dentistry. Longevity comes down to how well the implant is planned and placed to begin with, and how it's looked after afterwards.
