Straight answers first

The three things everyone asks first

Before you book anything, here’s the honest version of the three questions we hear most.

“What’s this going to cost me?”

You get the full price in writing at your consultation, before you agree to anything. We check your PPO benefits first, so the number you see already reflects what your plan covers, and financing options are available for most PPOs.

“Is it going to hurt?”

Most patients tell us afterward it was easier than they’d built it up to be. Your dentist keeps you comfortable the whole way and walks you through each step, so nothing is a surprise.

“Am I even a candidate?”

Most people with a missing or failing tooth are. Because untreated gum disease can affect candidacy, treating gum disease comes first if it’s present. The only way to know for sure is a short look — we’ll measure, tell you straight, and lay out your options. No pressure to proceed.

What it’s really like

A missing tooth can feel like it says something about you. It doesn’t.

It happens to people of every age, for all kinds of reasons — a failed root canal, an old injury, plain genetics. What it actually changes is how you eat, smile, and feel day to day. Here’s what that feels like, and what changes once the gap is filled.

The part that wears on you

It shows up in the small stuff — hiding your smile in photos, chewing on one side, skipping foods you love, a partial that never quite feels like yours. And often it happened younger than expected, with a little embarrassment that was never warranted. You’re far from alone; plenty of people in their 20s and 30s are in exactly this spot.

What we hear

“I hide my smile in photos now.”

“I only chew on one side.”

“My partial never feels like mine.”

After your implant
Blends right in
No more angling away from the camera
Full chewing back
Eat what you want, both sides
Stays put for years
Fixed in place — no slipping

Then you stop thinking about it

Replace the tooth and the daily workarounds fall away — a smile that blends right in, full chewing on both sides, a tooth fixed in place with no adhesives or slipping. People who got implants 10 and 20 years ago routinely still have them, and filling the gap sooner helps keep your jaw and neighboring teeth from shifting. The first step is smaller than the years of avoiding it.

Why choose an implant

The closest thing to a tooth that was always there

Whether you’re walking the waterfront at sunset over the Olympics or catching the Saturday market downtown, a tooth that feels like your own means you’re thinking about the day — not your mouth.

You stop noticing it

Replaces the whole tooth, root and all, so it looks and works like natural. Ask people who’ve had one for years and they’ll tell you they forget it isn’t their original.

Protects your other teeth — and your jaw

Fills the gap on its own, without leaning on the healthy teeth beside it the way a bridge does. It also helps keep neighboring teeth from drifting and your jawbone from shrinking where the tooth is missing. The sooner the gap is filled, the more structure you keep.

Built to last

A long-term solution; with routine care many implants last for decades. We coordinate the cleanings and checkups that help protect yours.

Confidence, back

Beyond the tooth itself, most people just want to laugh, eat, and show up without thinking about their mouth. That’s the real win.

What to expect

What happens at your consultation

What to expect at your first visit — and what you’ll walk out knowing.

  1. We listen, then look

    Your dentist hears what’s bothering you, examines the area, and explains what an implant would actually involve for you.

  2. We check the foundation

    We assess your bone and, if it helps, arrange a 3D scan to measure bone levels before recommending anything.

  3. You get a clear plan and price

    A straightforward treatment plan, your full cost in writing, your PPO benefits checked — with financing options available for most PPOs.

  4. You decide when you’re ready

    If you want to move forward, we schedule treatment around your life. If you’d rather think it over, that’s completely fine.

Cost & insurance

We don’t make you guess what it costs

The number-one thing people search about implants is what they cost — so at your consultation you get the full cost of treatment in writing. We accept most PPO plans and verify your benefits for you, and financing options are available for most PPOs so treatment can fit your budget.

If a step like a 3D scan isn’t covered by your plan, we’ll tell you the patient cost ahead of time — no line item appears out of nowhere. Patients come to us from across Edmonds.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How much does a dental implant cost?
For a single missing tooth, a complete implant — the post, the abutment, and the crown — generally runs about $3,500 to $6,500, with prices in the Seattle area tending toward the higher end of that range. Things some people need, like a bone graft or a 3D scan, can add to it. Your exact cost depends on your situation, so for the most accurate quote, call us at (425) 776-8353 — or book a consultation and we’ll put your full price in writing, with your PPO benefits applied and financing options available for most PPOs.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Many PPO plans cover part of implant treatment. We accept most PPO plans and verify your benefits for you, so you’ll know what’s covered before you decide. Coverage varies by plan — share yours when you book and we’ll check it. (Medicare and most state plans generally don’t cover implants; we’ll always tell you your real out-of-pocket cost up front.) See our insurance & financing details.
Does getting an implant hurt?
Most patients are surprised how manageable it is. Your dentist keeps you comfortable throughout and explains each step. Any soreness afterward is usually mild and short-lived.
How does a dental implant actually work?
A small post takes the place of your tooth’s root and bonds with your bone over a few months. Once it’s stable, your dentist attaches a custom crown made to match your other teeth — so it looks and works like the tooth you lost.
Implant, bridge, or denture — what’s the difference?
A bridge uses the teeth on either side for support; a denture sits on top of the gum. An implant stands on its own, replaces the root, and doesn’t ask anything of your other teeth — which is why it tends to feel the most like your own and last the longest. We’ll walk through what fits your situation and budget.
What if I don’t have enough bone?
Many people still qualify. If more support is needed, bone grafting is an option. We measure your bone — arranging a 3D scan if it helps — before recommending anything, so candidacy is never a guess.
What’s healing like, and when can I eat normally?
You’ll eat soft foods for a short stretch right after placement, then ease back to normal as you heal. Your dentist gives you simple, specific guidance for your situation — no vague rules to figure out on your own.
Is getting an implant really worth it?
It’s the question people ask right after cost — and those who’ve lived with one for years tend to give the same answer. Because an implant replaces the root, it works and feels like your own tooth and doesn’t put extra load on the teeth around it. We’ll give you the honest pros and the real cost for your situation so you can decide for yourself.
How long will my implant last?
With routine care, many implants last for decades — people who got them 10 and 20 years ago commonly still have them. We coordinate your ongoing cleanings — covered by most plans — to help protect yours.
What makes an implant fail — and how do you help avoid it?
Implants have a strong long-term track record, but like anything they aren’t risk-free. The main thing to watch is keeping the gum and bone around the implant healthy. We lower the odds of trouble by checking your bone before treatment (with grafting if it’s needed), placing the implant carefully, and keeping up regular cleanings — and if you grind your teeth, a night guard helps protect it. If anything ever feels off, we want to see you early.
Are implants safe? Can I still get an MRI?
Implants are a well-established, widely used treatment. They’re made of materials that are safe in the body, and yes — you can have an MRI with a dental implant. Just mention it to your imaging team, as you would any dental work.
Where are you located?
We’re right here in Edmonds, easy to reach whether you’re coming from downtown or driving in for the day.
