Implant planningfor Hudson.

Hudson is the northern edge of West Pasco's Gulf coast — SeaPines and the canal homes, Beacon Woods, and the neighborhoods around Bayonet Point. It's also one of the most denture-heavy communities in the county, which means it's saturated with the same US-19 denture-chain marketing as everywhere else on the corridor. Trinity Dental Arts is about 20 minutes south, and Hudson patients make the drive for one reason: this is where the denture era ends and fixed teeth begin.

Dr. Xhoana Gjelaj is a board-certified implantologist (DABOI/ID, DICOI, FAAID, MAGD) with more than 10,000 implants placed — many for patients in their 70s and 80s, including patients on blood thinners and patients told elsewhere they "don't have enough bone." The angled All-on-4 technique lets most long-time denture wearers skip bone grafting entirely, and qualifying patients leave with a full set of provisional teeth the same day as surgery.

Numbers first, always: complete single implants approximately $5,500 (confirmed after a clinical diagnostic exam and 3D CBCT scan), All-on-4 from $25,000 per arch including sedation and extractions, financing subject to lender approval and current terms — and an honest guide to what Medicare actually covers.
