Because of an extremely high success rate and their amazing functionality, dental implants have quickly become the most popular tooth replacement option for patients with missing or damaged teeth. But how do these patients find the right provider for their individual needs and budget?
Here at The Foleck Center, we believe that our patients should educate themselves so they know what they are looking for and how to find the right dental implants provider.

- Will any parts of my procedure be parceled out to another provider?
- Has anyone at your practice had any disciplinary action?
- Will I need supplementary procedures before my dental implant procedure?
- Will I be provided with a written estimate after my consultation? Will my consultation be complementary? Is there an obligation to purchase products or services after my initial consultation?
