Your Situation Is Unique
Two people with the same number of missing teeth may need completely different treatment plans. Jawbone volume, gum health, the condition of nearby teeth, bite alignment, healing ability, appearance goals, and whether a removable or fixed option is preferred can all affect the conversation.
At Monahan Dentistry and Implant Center, treatment planning begins with a comprehensive evaluation. When implants are being considered, 3D Cone Beam imaging can help the dentist evaluate the jawbone from multiple angles and plan implant length, diameter, and positioning.
The goal is not to push every patient toward the same procedure. It is to understand the full situation and discuss the options that fit the individual.
Dental Implant Options
The survey does not determine which treatment is right for you. It helps identify the topics that may be most relevant to discuss during a professional evaluation.
A single implant can replace one missing tooth without requiring the neighboring healthy teeth to support a traditional bridge. The implant provides a foundation for a custom dental crown designed to look and function like a natural tooth.
Several missing teeth may sometimes be replaced with individual implants or an implant-supported bridge. The number and position of implants depend on the condition of the jawbone, surrounding teeth, bite, and treatment goals.
All-on-X is a full-arch implant solution that uses a small number of strategically positioned implants to support a complete set of replacement teeth. Some patients may be candidates for a fixed, functional, and natural-looking full-arch restoration; timing and treatment stages vary.
Some patients who currently use dentures may want to discuss whether implants could add stability or support. Depending on the situation, treatment may involve a removable implant-supported appliance or a fixed full-arch restoration. An evaluation determines which designs are appropriate.
Pain, movement, gum inflammation, bone loss, or changes around an existing implant should be professionally evaluated. Dr. Monahan can review the implant, surrounding bone, bite, and restoration to determine which options may be available.
Some patients need additional preparation before or during implant placement. These procedures can help rebuild or support areas where bone volume is insufficient — they are not required for every patient.
Flexible Ways to Move Forward
Cost should not prevent you from learning about your tooth-replacement options. Monahan Dentistry and Implant Center offers multiple payment and financing resources, including zero-interest financing for qualified patients.
Available financing resources listed by the practice include Alphaeon, CareCredit, Cherry, and ProceedFinance. Insurance benefits and financing eligibility vary. The practice team can review available options and help you understand estimated costs after an evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
No Insurance? No Problem.

The Implant Process
Complete the survey or call the practice to explain your situation and goals.
The dentist evaluates teeth, gums, bite, medical considerations, and available jawbone. 3D Cone Beam imaging may be used.
The team discusses appropriate options, stages, timeline, expected recovery, and financial considerations.
Treatment may involve extraction, bone grafting, ridge augmentation, sinus lift, PRF, or implant placement. Not every patient needs every procedure.
The implant is given time to integrate with the jawbone. Healing time varies according to procedure and individual health.
The final crown, bridge, denture, or full-arch restoration is placed and adjusted for appearance, comfort, and function.
The practice provides a general estimate of approximately five to six months for many single-implant cases. Additional healing time may be needed when an extraction, grafting procedure, or health concern affects the timeline. This estimate is not a guarantee.
"I appreciate that Dr. Monahan has been able to explain every step."
— Robyn B.
