Frequently Asked Questions

Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center is the result of all previous full-arch implant procedures and represents the next stage in the development of implant dentistry. Our approach incorporates cutting-edge digital design and milling technology to deliver the best possible smile at an affordable cost to our patients.

Zirconia has long been the most sought-after material for replacing natural teeth, despite the emergence of new materials. It is a metal-free ceramic that is fully biocompatible with gum tissue. In terms of durability, zirconia is the strongest dental material available. Each set of teeth is precisely milled and undergoes a sintering process to increase its compressive strength, making it resistant to chipping, scratching, and wear. Even for those with severe teeth grinding, zirconia has proven reliable over time. Additionally, zirconia is naturally resistant to staining and plaque/tartar buildup, making it easy to clean and maintain. This means no discoloration and a reduced risk of common oral conditions like bad breath and gum disease.

The ideal number of implants to be placed varies based on the patient's anatomy. Generally, our research indicates that four implants offer the highest chances of long-term success. Nevertheless, if a specific case necessitates or requires additional implants, they will be provided at no extra cost. The treatment plan is determined by the individual needs of each patient, rather than a fixed number of implants. Do not be deceived by the marketing strategy that claims more implants are better and therefore cost more.

Our patients can now receive their final permanent zirconia teeth in just one week, thanks to our all-digital procedure and state-of-the-art dental lab. By eliminating the need for expensive long-term temporary dentures, we save our patients money by cutting out the middleman and reducing lab fees.

At Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center, we offer patients a 5-year unconditional warranty on both our teeth and implants. Our dental implants have an impressive success rate of approximately 95%, and we provide the most durable materials available. Rest assured that if anything prevents you from smiling within the 5-year period, we will take care of it without any exceptions.

Our transparent and all-inclusive pricing ensures that Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center offers a unique service at a significantly lower cost compared to other companies. Unlike our competitors, we eliminate the need for fabricating and relining multiple sets of temporary dentures, and we also reduce the number of office visits to 10-15 times over 6-8 months. As a result, we pass on these savings to our patients. We encourage you to research and compare prices, and discover how Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center patients save an average of $20,000 compared to other procedures.

We have achieved perfection in a range of bone grafting techniques after successfully completing numerous Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center cases. This enables us to place implants on the same day as extractions with a high success rate. However, in extremely rare instances, patients with significant bone loss, often resulting from prolonged toothlessness, may need an additional procedure called sinus augmentation. Such patients may experience additional costs and an average waiting period of four months before the augmented bone is ready for implant placement.

A full-arch procedure is a significant surgery that should be approached with caution. However, it is worth noting that many patients are pleasantly surprised by the minimal pain they experience during and after the procedure, as well as the speedy recovery. Our providers ensure patient comfort and pain relief through the use of sedation and local anesthesia during the procedure. While each patient's level of discomfort during recovery may vary, most patients can return to work within a week, depending on their responsibilities. Patients will receive guidance on what to expect during their recovery, and they will be provided with medication and aftercare instructions.

Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center collaborates with multiple preferred third-party finance companies that provide cost-effective payment options for patients who are approved, allowing them to avail affordable payment plans for a duration of up to 90 months with minimal interest. To obtain further details or initiate the application process, please contact a Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center patient care coordinator.

Following dental implant surgery, it is necessary to allow a minimum of 90 days for healing and adhere to a "soft diet." We suggest consuming foods that can be easily cut with the side of a fork. This soft diet promotes successful osseointegration, enabling the implants to fuse with the bone. Once the 90-day follow-up is complete, patients can resume eating any foods they desire, just as they would with their natural teeth.

To maintain your new smile, treat it just like your natural one by practicing good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth, gums, cheeks, palate, and tongue regularly. The only change is that you should use a water flosser to clean the area between your bridges and gums, where food particles may accumulate. By keeping your implants clean, you will ensure their long-term success.

Most patients typically come in for a routine checkup and cleaning once or twice a year, although each case may vary. This helps us ensure that everything is in good condition. We will remove, polish, and replace your bridges to ensure the longevity of your Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center hybrid bridges. There will be a small fee for each checkup, but the first one is complimentary. Additionally, your implant screws will need to be replaced every two years, with a nominal fee involved. Again, the first set is included.

After receiving your new teeth, every Spring Valley Dental Care - Implant Center patient will receive a Patient Care manual. This comprehensive guide includes instructions for post-operative care, dietary recommendations, as well as long-term maintenance and warranty details.
