Why Choose Eggleston Dental Care for Your Smile Restoration?
When you visit our Turlock office, you are choosing a team that prioritizes your comfort and oral health above all else. Dental implants are unique because they are the only restoration that protects your jawbone health while simultaneously improving the aesthetics of your smile. Through a process called osseointegration, the implant fixture actually integrates with your jawbone to act as a natural tooth root, providing the necessary stimulation to prevent bone loss.
Exploring Our Diverse Implant Solutions
Our practice offers a wide range of customizable solutions to restore any number of missing teeth, from a single gap to a full arch. We understand that every patient has unique needs, which is why we offer specialized treatments tailored to your specific oral health goals.
Single Tooth Replacement
For patients missing a single tooth, an individual implant provides a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing solution that does not require the alteration of neighboring healthy teeth. The result is a restoration that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural tooth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
If you are missing several teeth in a row, our implant-supported bridges offer a more stable alternative to traditional bridges. Instead of relying on adjacent natural teeth for support, the bridge is anchored securely to dental implants, preserving the integrity of your remaining natural teeth.
Full-Arch Replacement with All-on-4
For those who have lost most or all of their teeth in an arch, All-on-4 is a revolutionary solution. This method uses four to six strategically placed implants to support a full set of prosthetic teeth. One of the greatest benefits of this approach is that patients often receive temporary teeth on the same day as their surgery, meaning you never have to go a day without a smile.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Our implant-supported dentures provide a life-changing upgrade for patients who currently wear traditional removable dentures. By snapping the denture onto dental implants, we eliminate the need for messy adhesives and prevent the dentures from shifting or falling out while you eat or speak.
If you are ready to explore which of these options is right for you, contact our dentist’s office near you by calling 209-226-4963.
Advanced Technology for Precise Results
Eggleston Dental Care is committed to using the latest technology to ensure your treatment is as comfortable and efficient as possible. During your consultation, Dr. Eggleston uses advanced diagnostic tools to create a precise map of your oral structures. Our high-tech environment includes:
- Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): This provides an in-depth, 3D look at your jawbone and nerve pathways, allowing for highly accurate implant placement.
- 3D Printer for Surgical Guides: We utilize 3D printing technology to create custom surgical guides, ensuring that every implant is placed with pinpoint accuracy.
- Digital X-Rays: These offer a detailed view of your teeth and bone while exposing patients to significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays.
- Soft Tissue CO2 & Diode Lasers: These tools allow for more precise and gentle treatment of the gums during the implant process.
The Dental Implant Process at Our Turlock Practice
The journey to a new smile typically spans several months and involves multiple stages to ensure the best long-term outcome. While the timeline varies depending on your specific needs—such as the requirement for preparatory bone grafting or gum grafting—our team is with you every step of the way.
- Consultation: We start with a no-obligation consultation where Dr. Eggleston discusses your goals and uses CBCT technology to evaluate your candidacy.
- Preparatory Procedures: If you lack sufficient bone density, we may perform supplemental procedures like bone grafting to create a stable base for the implant.
- Implant Placement: Dr. Eggleston surgically places the implant fixture into the jawbone.
- Osseointegration: Over the next three to six months, the implant fuses with the bone.
- Final Restoration: Once healing is complete, we place your custom-crafted crown, bridge, or denture, designed to blend perfectly with your smile.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
The total cost of your treatment depends on the complexity of your case and the number of teeth being replaced. For a full arch of teeth, costs typically range from $24,000 to $50,000 for implant-supported solutions like All-on-4. If you choose individual implants for every missing tooth, the cost can range from $60,000 to $90,000 per arch.
While dental insurance coverage varies, our team at Eggleston Dental Care can help you navigate your provider’s specific plan to determine if your procedure is covered. We believe that everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of, and we are happy to discuss financing options during your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average price of a full set of dental implants?
For a single arch, the cost generally ranges from $24,000 to $50,000 for solutions like All-on-4, though individual implant replacements for all teeth can cost between $60,000 and $90,000 per arch.
Will insurance cover dental implants?
Coverage depends entirely on your specific insurance provider and whether the treatment is considered medically necessary or cosmetic. We recommend contacting our Turlock office so we can help you review your benefits.
How long does it take to get dental implants from start to finish?
The multi-stage process typically takes between three and nine months, depending on your oral health and whether you need supplemental procedures like bone grafting.
How long do you go without teeth when getting implants?
With traditional implants, you might go three to six months without teeth unless a temporary restoration is used. However, with “same-day” options like All-on-4, temporary teeth are placed immediately so you are never without your smile.
