Dental Implants FAQ

Why are dental implants the best way to replace my missing teeth?
  • They bite and chew like your natural teeth.
  • You brush and floss them like natural teeth.
  • They help preserve your jawbone.
  • They do not get decay.
  • They are strong and don’t come out.

Will my insurance cover dental implants?

Some insurance plans have started covering a portion of dental implant procedures. Many do not. We will help you get the most out of your insurance.

Will I have to go to another office?

No. We are full-service and do all of your implant procedures in our office.

I have heard dental implants cost a lot. Is that true?

There are a wide range of implant possibilities. Each patient is different, and their individual needs are evaluated to determine the solution that will fit their budget and desires.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. We have several financing options available to help you receive the care you choose.  There are no hidden fees, and costs will be discussed prior to starting any treatment. 

Are they painful?

No. Most patients report little to no pain. We have had patients report they “can’t tell they have been to the dentist.”

Kind Words from Patients

My new teeth have been terrific. Nice tight fit, no discomfort, and so far they have passed the corn on the cob and T-bone steak tests with flying colors.

When I walked into your office for my first visit, I didn't realize that the quality of my life was going to improve to the extent it has... It's been about six months since all the work was completed and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. I've got my smile back and have no difficulty chewing anything. I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for making the experience a positive one.

E. McElhinney

Just a quick note to express my complete satisfaction with my last dental procedure using your technique of P.R.F. therapy.
Compared to the previous similar dental procedures, my healing process was a 4-fold (400%) improvement.
I heartily recommend all patients to partake of this method.

Dear Steven,

We have had the distinct pleasure of treating your patient of many years Mrs. Marion Stoneman! She lives in Gainesville now. I am writing to give you highest commendations about the extraordinary quality of your dental treatment of your patients as evidenced by the truly beautiful and excellent care in her mouth!

Much future success to you.

First, I want to say that I was terrified about Dr. Adams recommendation that I get mini implants because I thought the material/metal from the implants would affect my health. I was totally wrong about what I thought. The procedure for getting the implants was not bad at all. I think what helped me through it was the care of the team of dental professionals... The mini implants secure my bottom denture so well and I can’t feel they are in my mouth. I don’t have to worry about my bottom denture coming loose or out because I can eat anything I want and not worry about being embarrassed...

I am very, very happy with the mini implants and highly recommend them, especially if your dentist tells you that he/she recommends them for you. I get so many compliments on my beautiful smile!!!

Due to terrible experiences at previous dentists, I had neglected to visit a dentist for more years than I care to admit. Dr. Adams didn't give me a hard time about it. We devised an action plan to get me back into shape and Dr. Adams and his staff took good care of me. Dr. Adams helped me conquer my fear of the dentist, and I didn't think that could ever happen. I have referred four people to Dr. Adams and they are now loyal customers of his. My apologies, however, to their previous dentists.

To: Dr. Steven Adams & all the staff,

It is with the greatest respect and awe for what you do that I offer my heartfelt thanks for the help you gave me at a time when I was very ill and in excruciating pain and I needed you most. I have found, within the last 10 years, that a dentist who will help a new patient, at a moment's notice, is a most elusive animal! I was astounded as well as deeply relieved to find that without hesitation, you and your staff welcomed me into your most capable care. With that act of kindness you have renewed my faith in the oral/dental field of medicine and it's ability to care for the patient without first thinking of fiscal/monetary gain or compensation.

Again, please accept my deepest thanks and gratitude to you all!

B. Merrill (a most satisfied patient)

My friends,

The work you did for an elderly person, me, over these past days was superb. I want you to know that your care and skills were without peer. Thank you, Doctor Steve, and each of the fine staff who attended me over the past few days. All of you have treated me with dignity, care and concern over many years. You deserve all accolades, more than I can express.

So, thank you again for making me whole.
