Dental Implants Care
A 25-minute trip from Tamaqua trades three referrals for one office: digital planning, surgical placement, same-day provisional, and the final crown all under our roof.
About Dental Implants
A dental implant is a long-term replacement for a missing tooth: a titanium post that integrates with the jawbone and supports a custom crown above the gumline. The full process — diagnostic scans, digital planning, the surgical placement, healing, and the final crown — typically takes a few months. We handle every step in-house, which is the part Tamaqua patients tell us makes the drive worth it. There's no separate surgical center to commute to, no second consult to repeat history at, no third office for the crown. On single-tooth and many full-arch cases we 3D-print a provisional tooth the same day so the chair you sit down in for surgery is the chair you walk out of with a tooth in place. Costs and timeline are laid out before anything begins.
Dental Implants for patients from Tamaqua
Tamaqua patients tell us they keep choosing the drive in for one specific reason: implant work that closer offices split across two or three referrals stays in our chair end-to-end. The 25-minute route west on 309 and I-81 is mostly highway and well-plowed in winter, and we schedule the surgical day so a Tamaqua patient is usually back home by early afternoon. Same-day provisional teeth on most placements mean nobody from Tamaqua makes the drive twice in a row to leave with a gap.
From Tamaqua, take Route 309 West to I-81 South, exit at PA-901 / Pottsville, and follow signs onto W. Market — about a 25-minute drive that's mostly highway.
Why patients drive in for dental implants
Why Tamaqua patients drive past three closer offices to ours for implant work:
We plan, place, and restore implants ourselves — same office, same team, same set of records. You're not handed off to a separate surgeon for the placement and a separate restorative office for the crown.
Cone-beam CT scan, intra-oral 3D scan, and guided surgical planning before anyone touches the chair. The implant goes exactly where the digital plan says it should.
On many implant and full-arch cases, the 3D-printed temporary tooth or arch goes in the same day as the placement. You leave with a tooth, not a gap.
Most major PPO plans accepted, plus our $249/yr ADC in-house plan for the uninsured, plus Cherry, CareCredit, and Proceed Finance for larger treatment.
