We understand that situations arise in which you must cancel or reschedule your appointment. Due to the high demand and limited openings in our office, we have a cancellation list with patients awaiting sooner appointments. Our office policy requires you to provide 48-hour notice. If you fail to provide the required notice, then you will be charged a $25 cancellation fee for consultations, and a $150 cancellation fee for surgical appointments.
A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown.
