Improving your oral health shouldn’t be delayed by the price tag. We understand that dental implants are a significant step—and like any meaningful decision, it’s something you want to approach with clarity, not financial stress. Think of your treatment plan as an investment—not a lump sum demand. You’re not paying for a product off the shelf; you’re choosing long-term function, comfort, and stability. Unlike temporary fixes that wear down or need replacing, implants are designed to last. That longevity turns your treatment into something much more valuable over time. To make your dental implant treatment more accessible, we offer financing options that help you move forward without disrupting your financial balance. These plans allow you to break up the cost into manageable monthly payments, giving you breathing room while still making progress toward a permanent solution.
How Dental Implants Benefit Your Oral Health
Have you ever wondered how hip or knee replacements manage to stay so strong and functional inside the body? Their success hinges on a fascinating biological process called osseointegration—a process that dental implants also rely on. Like joint replacements, dental implants are made of biocompatible titanium, designed to fuse naturally with bone.
A dental implant is a small, sturdy titanium post that Dr. Coolican gently places into your jawbone. Once in place, your body begins a remarkable healing process. Osseointegration occurs as living bone cells grow and attach directly to the surface of the implant. There’s no cushion of soft tissue in between—just a seamless bond that creates a stable, lasting foundation for your crown, bridge, or denture.
Why is this important? Because osseointegration doesn’t just hold the implant in place, it can function like a natural tooth root. It gives the implant the strength to handle daily chewing forces and helps protect the health of your jawbone. After tooth loss, your jawbone begins to shrink over time. This happens because it no longer receives the pressure and stimulation it once received from natural tooth roots. Within a year, you could lose up to 50% of the bone in that area.
But when a dental implant is in place, it restores that lost stimulation. Every bite you take sends gentle pressure through the implant into the jawbone—keeping it active, nourished, and strong. This helps preserve your natural facial structure, protects nearby teeth, and supports long-term oral health.
Financing Options for Your Dental Implant Treatment
Dental financing helps you move forward with treatment, like dental implants, without paying the entire cost upfront. Instead, you can spread the expense over time with manageable monthly payments.
You can apply right here in our office, online at home, or through the financing provider’s website. Many of the companies we work with—such as CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and Lending Club—offer fast approvals and prequalification options that won’t impact your credit score.
Most patients receive a decision within minutes. Once you’re approved, we can often begin treatment right away.
After approval, your financing provider pays our office directly for the services you need. You then repay the provider through monthly payments, rather than settling the full balance all at once. This keeps care within reach, even for larger procedures.
The Benefits of Mini Dental Implants
If you’ve heard of dental implants before, you might picture the traditional kind—larger posts that require surgery and months of healing. But we offer a more advanced and gentle solution: mini dental implants. These implants are less than 3 millimeters in diameter, nearly half the size of standard implants. And that one key difference changes everything.
Because mini implants are so narrow, their placement is far less invasive. Instead of cutting into the gum and placing a large post deep into the jaw, Dr. Coolican uses a precise technique that often requires only a small pilot hole. There’s typically no need for sutures, and the surrounding tissue heals quickly. This approach is gentler on your mouth and greatly reduces post-procedure discomfort.
Another key advantage is speed. The smaller size of mini implants allows for quicker placement and, in many cases, immediate restoration. That means Dr. Coolican can place the implant and secure a new tooth or denture in the same appointment. You leave our office with a complete, functional smile—without waiting months for healing before your restoration is placed.
Together, these advantages add up to a meaningful benefit: lower overall treatment costs. Because the procedure is simpler and more efficient, mini implants can cost up to 50% less than traditional options.
