Match treatment to your priorities
Fixed implant teeth may be an option when you want a restoration that stays in place for daily use and are clinically suitable for surgery. Good home care and follow-up remain important.
A conventional removable denture may be appropriate when surgery is unsuitable or a lower initial cost is a priority. A clinician can explain its limitations and maintenance. We do not offer removable snap-in dentures at Trinity Dental Arts.
Ask about the whole treatment sequence
Your implant plan should explain diagnostics, surgery, healing, provisional teeth, final teeth and follow-up. Same-day provisional teeth are available only when clinical criteria are met.
Ask how each option affects cleaning, eating during recovery, future appointments and repairs. A lifetime savings projection cannot predict your individual costs or outcome.
Plan the total cost, including ongoing care
All-on-4 treatment at Trinity Dental Arts starts at $25,000 per arch. The exact plan, materials, included services and additional fees are confirmed in writing after examination and imaging. Ask about maintenance visits, repair and replacement costs as well as the initial treatment.
Neither implants nor replacement teeth are maintenance-free or guaranteed for life. Financing depends on lender approval, APR and current terms. Compare the total amount payable before choosing a payment plan.
Possibly. Your bone, oral health, medical history and preferences need assessment before a recommendation can be made.
Are fixed teeth removable?
They remain attached for everyday use. Your dental team can remove the bridge when clinically needed for maintenance or repair.
Are implants maintenance-free?
No. Daily cleaning and professional maintenance are necessary. Implants and restorations can develop problems or need repair, so discuss long-term care and costs before treatment.
