Q?What is the typical recovery time for an implant?A.Patients vary wildly in their reaction to surgery, and their healing times. These variances can be caused by factors such as: age, immune system, diet, and whether the patient is a smoker or not. However, due to the techniques developed by us.We typically see our patients walk out feeling well, and sporting a temporary crown, within an hour after having the surgery. They usually get their permanent crown in about 3 months.

A. One of the main reasons for the Dental Implant Institute's success, is that we don't have any hidden charges. Every charge is spelled out in advanced. We are an open book, no matter how complicated or straight forward your case is, we will charge the same. We don't need to penalize you for having a complicated case, because we can handle the most complicated of cases for the same price as a simple case. Our patients dont have to look around for prices.

A. A few insurance providers are beginning to cover implant procedures, but usually implant dentistry is considered fee-for-service. Some insurance providers will also cover the cost of preliminary examinations and restorative aspects of the procedure. E-mail nathan@diilv.com with questions about what your insurance will cover. In addition, we offer zero percent financing on most procedures that many of our patients benefit from.

Do I have to come in for multiple visits prior to getting the procedure or is it same day?

A. Cleaning and Gum grafting can be completed in a few hours. This can be two to three visits. Recovery times vary from patient to patient, but usually no more than few weeks. Most procedures we do are same day, however we have to evaluate your situation.

I've been going to Dr. Cha for years. It has been so long, I've forgotten how many. She's one of the best! You can't go wrong with Dr. Cha! I forgot to mention Linda and Christine. They are great dental hygienists! They all have great personalities and always maintain courtesy and professionalism! Wonderful office!

My previous dentist warned me that my gum disease had caused sinus problems and should seek help from an ENT doctor. That really scared me until I found Dr. Cha, a periodontist with a MD and a specialist for implant surgery. She assured me that I have no sinus infection and that she has seen patients with gum diseases a lot worse than me. Up to this date I already have five implants and she was fast and precise during the procedures. The entire office environment is neat, efficient and friendly. So I gave this office a five-star rating.

I am having 4 new implants currently in addition to the 3 implants Dr Cha put in for me 8 years ago. Again, Dr Cha explained in details the whole procedure and made me feel very comfortable and confident about the process. Her skills and professionalism is much appreciated. I would recommend Dr Cha for any periodontal and teeth implant work. Following up on my previous post which was 5 months ago, I had a second visit with Dr Cha. Five of the seven implants were right on schedule, bone grafting looks good. I'll be ready for impressions in 3 more weeks and after that I'll get my crowns and I can start fully enjoy food. During the same visit, Dr Cha performed the surgery and placed the last two implants as I needed lots of bone grafting on these two, and I needed to wait 6 months before the implants can be put it. Again, I was totally satisfied with Dr Cha's skill and the procedure went really well and my pain level was a minimum. Thank you Dr Cha.

This is the first time I've had to have a tooth polled and was told by two other facilities that my process would take 6 to 9 months. Dr. Cha was able to look at the X-Ray she took and determine that I had a solid location to install the implant along with a graph, make a temporary tooth and in three months I will go back and have the permanent tooth installed. She did all this work in 40 minutes and at no time did I feel any pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Cha to anyone who needs implant work! She is amazing!!!!! I would give her 10 stars if I could!!!

If you are looking for a great and reasonably priced dentist, Dr. Cha's office is the place to go. I highly recommend her with a 10-Star. Dr. Cha is as talented as gorgeous. She is a rarefied gem! You'd be happy to know her. I had a slew of complicated dental procedures done at her office, including complex teeth implants. The procedure requires intensified steps with time limit for each. Dr. Cha did it like a breeze with an amazing result! I could not have been happier, felt like I owed my life to her. Prior to meeting Dr. Cha, I researched the topic and qualified dentists for years. You too will not find anyone that would compare to Dr. Cha's talents, skills, beauty and integrity! Dr. Cha and her heart warming staff will handle all your dental problems with smooth and ease. You won't be disappointed from start to finish, I guarantee it. This is a 10-Star place! Just wonderful human beings working hard to bring beautiful smiles on your face. BTW, all my questions and concerns were addressed promptly. The staff members are equally patient and attentive!
