Question 1

How much does a single tooth implant cost in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

The implant post alone averages $1,962 in Georgia, per CareCredit’s 2024 cost study, and the crown adds $488 to $3,254 depending on material. A complete single tooth commonly totals several thousand dollars once imaging, the abutment, and any extraction or grafting are included. An itemized treatment plan is the only way to get your exact number.

Question 2

Why is one implant quote so much cheaper than another?

Accepted Answer

Scope. Advertised implant prices often cover only the surgical post, while the abutment, crown, imaging, extraction, and grafting are billed later. Compare line items rather than bottom lines.

Question 3

How long does the dental implant process take?

Accepted Answer

The full process normally takes three to nine months from evaluation to final crown, according to CareCredit’s implant guide. Most of that time is healing while your jawbone fuses to the post. Cases that need bone grafting first take longer, since the graft must heal before the implant is placed.

Question 4

How long do dental implants last?

Accepted Answer

The titanium post is designed to last a lifetime with good care, while the crown on top might require replacement after 10 to 15 years of normal chewing wear. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings protect the gum and bone around the implant, which helps keep it stable over the long term.

Question 5

Are you in my insurance network?

Accepted Answer

Waldron & Lee Dentistry is out-of-network with all PPO dental plans, but most patients still use their benefits at the practice. Most PPO plans cover out-of-network care, and the office files claims as a courtesy and can submit a predetermination so you know your estimated costs before treatment. Patients without insurance can ask about the Friends & Family Dental Plan.

Question 6

Do you treat anxious patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The practice offers three levels of sedation, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, along with a comfort menu that includes warm blankets, TVs in every private treatment room, warmed anesthetic, and an on-site massage therapy room. Many implant patients choose sedation for the surgical visit and find it far easier than expected.

Question 7

Are you accepting new patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Waldron & Lee Dentistry welcomes new patients from Marietta, East Cobb, Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Kennesaw. You can request an appointment through the contact page or by calling the office to schedule an implant consultation.
