Why Patients Choose Implant Overdentures

Real solutions for real denture problems

No Slipping or Sliding

Stability

Overdentures securely snap onto medical-grade implants, keeping them perfectly in place when you speak, laugh, or yawn.

Enjoy Your Favorite Foods

Chewing Power

Eat steak, apples, and nuts with ease. Implant overdentures restore up to 70% of your natural chewing power.

Keep Your Jawbone Strong

Anti-Aging

Dental implants act like natural roots, stimulating your jawbone to prevent the bone loss that causes a sunken look.

Speak with Confidence

Confidence

No more slurred speech or fear of your dentures popping out. Talk and laugh freely with complete peace of mind.

Eliminate Messy Adhesives

Convenience

Say goodbye to sticky, bad-tasting denture creams forever. Your new teeth secure firmly without any paste.

Say Goodbye to Sore Spots

By transferring bite force directly to implants instead of sensitive gum tissue, painful rubbing is eliminated.

Common Questions

How much do dental implants cost in Tacoma?

At Davis Dental Group, our complete dental implant package starts at $3,000. This includes the titanium implant post, custom abutment, porcelain crown, 3D planning, digital impressions, and follow-up care with no hidden fees. Financing options through CareCredit and Cherry are available to make payments manageable.

What is considered a dental emergency?

Any dental issue that requires immediate treatment to stop bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or save a tooth is considered an emergency. This includes knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches with facial swelling, and broken or cracked teeth.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small, bio-compatible titanium post that serves as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. Once placed in your jawbone, it fuses with the bone over a few months (a process called osseointegration). A custom-made porcelain crown is then attached to the implant, providing a highly durable, natural-looking, and permanent tooth replacement.

Do I need to be a current patient for emergency care?

Yes. We welcome new emergency patients. If you're in pain today, we'll see you today โ€” no prior relationship needed. Once your emergency is resolved, we'll discuss ongoing care options if you'd like to make us your dental home.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 25+ years or even a lifetime. The implant post itself fuses with your jawbone, while the crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.

Are you open on weekends for emergencies?

Yes! We are open on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM to handle weekend dental emergencies when most offices are closed.

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

No, you will not feel pain during the procedure. We use strong local anesthetics to completely numb the area. For extra comfort, we also offer dental sedation options. Any post-procedure soreness can be managed easily with standard over-the-counter pain relievers.

Does the dental implant procedure hurt?

Most patients report that the procedure is much more comfortable than they expected. We use advanced local anesthetics to ensure you feel absolutely nothing during the surgery. For anxious patients, we also offer gentle dental sedation options. After the procedure, any minor discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen.

Do you accept my PPO insurance?

Yes โ€” we accept most major PPO plans. Call (909) 946-9090 and we'll verify your benefits before your appointment at no charge. Bring your insurance card and we'll handle all the paperwork.

Is the implant procedure painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort. We use local anesthesia during placement, and sedation options are available. Post-procedure discomfort is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

If your tooth is knocked out, keep it moist by placing it in milk or back inside your cheek. Do not touch the root. Call us immediately. If treated within 1 hour, there is a very high chance of saving the tooth.

What is socket preservation, and do I need it?

Socket preservation involves placing a bone graft into the extraction site immediately after the tooth is removed. This prevents the jawbone from shrinking and collapsing, which is critical if you plan to get a dental implant to replace the tooth in the future.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants are designed to be a permanent, lifelong solution. While the implant post itself fuses with your bone and can last a lifetime, the custom crown attached to the top may need replacement after 10โ€“15 years due to normal wear and tear. Practicing excellent oral hygiene and attending regular cleanings will ensure your implants last.

What if I don't have dental insurance?

No problem. We offer transparent self-pay pricing so you know your costs upfront โ€” no surprises. Flexible financing is available through CareCredit and Cherry, with plans that fit most budgets. We'll walk you through your options before any treatment.

How long does the implant process take?

From initial placement to final crown, the process typically takes 4-8 months. This allows time for the implant to fully integrate with your jawbone.

Do you accept insurance for emergency care?

Yes, we accept most PPO dental insurances. Our office will verify your coverage on the spot and provide a clear, upfront cost estimate before starting any treatment.

Can I get a dental implant on the same day as my extraction?

In many cases, yes! This is called an immediate implant. If you have healthy jawbone density and no active infection, Dr. Sikka can place the implant post immediately after extracting the tooth, saving you time and reducing the number of procedures.

Are dental implants covered by insurance?

Many PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of dental implant treatment, such as the extraction or the custom crown. During your free consultation, our experienced team will contact your insurance provider to verify your specific benefits and maximize your coverage, providing you with a clear, upfront estimate of any out-of-pocket costs.

Are you in-network with my plan?

Call us at (909) 946-9090. We'll look up your plan and give you a clear picture of your coverage before your visit โ€” no obligations, no surprises.

What if I don't have enough bone for an implant?

We can often perform bone grafting to build up the area first. Our complimentary 3D scan during your free consultation will determine if this is needed.

What payment options are available if I don't have insurance?

We offer flexible monthly payment options and financing through Cherry and CareCredit. We will work with you to make sure cost does not stand in the way of necessary emergency relief.

Are extractions covered by my PPO insurance?

Most PPO dental insurance plans cover 50% to 80% of a necessary tooth extraction. During your visit, our team will verify your benefits and give you an upfront, detailed breakdown of all costs and coverage before we begin.

What financing options do you offer?

We partner with leading healthcare financing companies, CareCredit and Cherry, to offer flexible monthly payment plans, including 0% interest promotional options. The application is fast, secure, and doesn't affect your credit score, making it easy to fit your new smile into your monthly budget.

What does insurance typically cover?

Most PPO plans cover 100% of preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays). Basic procedures like fillings are typically covered at 70โ€“80%, and major work like crowns at 50%+. We review your specific coverage before any treatment begins so you always know your out-of-pocket cost in advance.

Do you offer sedation for nervous patients?

Absolutely. We offer oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to keep you completely comfortable and relaxed during the procedure.

What financing options are available if I don't have insurance?

We offer flexible payment plans through Cherry and CareCredit. The application process is quick and simple, offering options like 0% interest promotional financing to help you fit care into your monthly budget.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

If you have one or more missing teeth, or have teeth that are failing and need extraction, you are likely an excellent candidate for dental implants! The main requirements are healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to support the implant. Even if you have experienced bone loss, we offer advanced bone grafting solutions to make implants possible.

How soon can you see me for a toothache?

Most emergency patients are seen same day. Call (909) 946-9090 โ€” we'll assess your situation over the phone and get you scheduled immediately. Don't wait. Tooth pain that seems manageable today can become unbearable by tonight.

Do you offer same-day appointments?

Yes, we offer same-day emergency appointments to address your urgent dental needs. Our bilingual staff is here to assist you in both English and Spanish.
