What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, designed to look and feel natural. A small titanium post is gently placed in the jawbone, where it bonds over time to create a stable foundation for a custom crown. Implants help restore your smile, improve chewing and speech, and support overall oral health by preventing bone loss and keeping surrounding teeth in place. They can boost confidence and comfort.
At Vitality Dental, we understand that each patient is unique. We provide custom-made restorations tailored to your precise measurements and specifications. It takes high skill and experience to produce a comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing restoration. Dr. Holmes is an experienced implant specialist who will work with you personally to ensure that your restorations look great, function flawlessly, and last for decades.

Flexible Financing for Your Dental Implant Treatment
We believe cost should never stand in the way of restoring your smile. The cost of dental implant treatment depends on the procedure and your insurance benefits. Services such as dental bone grafting, single dental implants, dentures, and implant-supported bridges may be partially covered by insurance, depending on your plan. Full mouth dental implants and implant-supported dentures are $24,936 per arch and are not eligible for dental insurance coverage. We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards, and we also offer flexible financing through CareCredit®, Cherry, Proceed Finance, LendingClub, and PatientFi to help make dental implant treatment fit your budget. Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) can also be used toward eligible procedures. For patients paying by cash or credit card, a 50% deposit is required before treatment begins. Plus, you can feel confident in your investment knowing your dental implants are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Are dental implants painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the dental implant process is. During your procedure, we use local anesthesia and also provide sedation to help you feel relaxed and pain-free. After your implant is placed, it’s normal to experience some mild soreness or swelling for a few days, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed medication. Most patients find the discomfort is less than they expected and are back to their normal routine within a few days.
