Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Young's dental implants treatment is the culmination of every full-arch implant procedure available in the market, and the logical next step in the evolution of implant dentistry. We utilize the very latest advancements in digital design and milling technology to provide our patients with the highest quality smile.

Though new materials continue to emerge, zirconia has long remained the most sought after material for replacing natural teeth.

Zirconia is a metal-free ceramic and is fully biocompatible with gum tissue. When it comes to durability, zirconia is the strongest dental material available. Each set of teeth is precisely milled and will undergo a sintering process to increase its compressive strength and ensure a resistance to chipping, scratching, and all forms of wear.

Even for those with severe bruxism (excessive teeth grinding), zirconia has proven reliable and withstood the test of time.

Zirconia is also naturally resistant to both staining and plaque/tartar buildup. It is easy to clean and maintain, which means no discoloration and much less risk of common oral conditions like bad breath and gum disease.

The best number of implants to place is entirely dependent on a patient’s anatomy. In general, we’ve found that placing four implants provides the best long-term success.

However, if additional implants are required or necessary for any particular case, they will be placed at no additional charge. Each patient’s unique needs determine a treatment plan, not a certain number of implants. Do not fall for the “additional implants cost more because more is better” marketing tactic.

Thanks to the combination of our all digital procedure and our very own state-of-the-art dental lab, our patients can skip pricey long-term temporary dentures and go straight to receiving their final permanent zirconia teeth in as little as one week! We cut out the middleman and pass the savings from lab fees onto our patients!

Young Dental Health Center provides patients with a 5-year unconditional warranty on our teeth and our implants. Dental implants have around a 95% success rate and the materials we offer are the most durable of their kind.

If anything happens within a 5-year period that keeps you from smiling, we will take care of it, no exceptions.

With our transparent, all-inclusive pricing, you can be confident in knowing that Young Dental Health Center is providing you with a service that no one else can for a price that is well below what other companies charge.

Without the added cost of fabricating and relining multiple sets of temporary dentures, and because we don’t require you to return to our offices an average of 10-15 times over 6-8 months, we are able to pass those savings onto our patients.

We encourage you to research the competition, and see for yourself how Young Dental Health Center patients are saving an average of $20,000 over other procedures.

After performing many dental implant cases, we’ve perfected a variety of bone grafting techniques that will allow for successful implant placement on the day of extractions.

In very rare cases, patients with severe bone loss—typically due to decades of being without teeth—may require an extra surgery known as sinus augmentation.

These patients can incur additional charges and can sometimes expect an average wait time of four months before the augmented bone is ready to receive implants.

A full-arch procedure is a major surgery that should not be taken lightly. With that said, we’ve found that many patients are genuinely surprised by how little pain they experience during and after the procedure, and by how fast they recover.

Using sedation and local anesthesia, our providers ensure that patients are comfortable and pain-free throughout the actual procedure. Though each patient has their own level of discomfort during the recovery process, most patients (depending on their responsibilities) return to work in less than a week from the day of the procedure.

Patients will be advised on what to expect throughout their recovery, and medication and aftercare instructions are provided.

Young Dental Health Center works with several preferred third-party finance companies that offer affordable payment plans for up to 90 months with low interest for patients who are approved.

After any dental implant surgery, a minimum of 90-days healing time and a “soft diet” is required. We recommend any foods that are soft enough to cut with the side of a fork.

A soft diet allows for successful osseointegration, which means allowing your new implants to fuse with your bone. After a 90-day follow up, most patients are free to eat whatever they like, just as they would with their natural teeth!

Your new smile will be cared for in a similar fashion as your natural one: practice proper oral hygiene and brush your teeth, gums, cheeks, palate, and tongue just like normal.

The only significant difference is that you will now be using a water flosser to irrigate the space between your bridges and your gums, where food debris can sometimes get trapped. Keeping your implants clean will ensure their success and longevity.

Every case is different but most patients will return either once or twice a year for a routine checkup and cleaning, which allows us to ensure that everything is up to par.

Your bridges will be removed, polished, and replaced, ensuring that your hybrid bridges last for decades to come.

Upon delivery of your new teeth, each Young Dental Health Center patient will be provided with a Patient Care manual, which covers aftercare instructions from post-op guidance and dietary recommendations all the way to long-term care.
