By Dr. Ali Obeidi, Prosthodontist & Founder of Elite Dental Specialists
When you’re told you need dental implants or a full-mouth restoration like an All-on-4, it’s easy to feel lost. With so many providers offering drastically different prices and promises, how do you know who to trust?
The truth is, dental implants are not just a treatment—they are an investment in your health, function, and confidence. And that investment should be in the hands of a specialist uniquely qualified to deliver lasting results.
As a prosthodontist, I have undergone years of additional, specialized training in the art and science of dental restoration. I’m not a general dentist offering implants—I’m a prosthodontic expert trained to lead the most complex, full-mouth cases from start to finish. We’re known as the architects of the smile for a reason: we plan every detail with precision and deliver outcomes built to last.
Here’s what you need to be aware of before choosing where and how to begin your implant journey:
The 3 Biggest Myths in Implant Dentistry
Myth #1: “The Price You See Is the Price You Pay”
Many practices advertise dental implants at rock-bottom prices—only to tack on extra fees later or use materials that are designed to fail within months. The initial cost may look appealing, but what you’re really paying for is the long-term durability, function, and appearance of your smile.
At Elite Dental Specialists, we do things differently. We use only the highest-quality, metal-free Solid Zirconia Prosthetics, handcrafted in our in-house lab by a master ceramist. This is the strongest, most esthetic material available—far superior to acrylic or resin-based options used by many high-volume corporate chains. We don’t offer “low-tier” versions. You get only the best, because that’s what you deserve.
And despite offering this premium level of care, our pricing remains significantly more affordable than national brands or corporate centers—with no hidden costs, no upselling, and no compromise on quality.
Myth #2: “All Dentists Deliver the Same Results”
Not all providers are equal. Just because someone offers dental implants doesn’t mean they’re qualified to restore your entire mouth. Many general dentists and corporate chains use one-size-fits-all protocols and rely on generic labs or outsourced technicians. That’s where problems start—cracked prosthetics, misaligned bites, failing implants, and costly rework.
As a prosthodontist, I don’t believe in generic treatment plans. Every case is meticulously tailored to the patient’s specific needs, including their dental condition, bone structure, medical history, and long-term goals. My advanced training allows me to predictably design full-arch restorations that not only look incredible but function flawlessly for decades.
Myth #3: “You’re Just Getting a Procedure”
You’re not buying a treatment—you’re investing in a result. You want to smile, speak, chew, and live confidently again. That doesn’t come from a cookie-cutter implant surgery. It comes from a provider who listens, customizes, and delivers with excellence.
That’s why at Elite Dental Specialists, your consultation is centered around you. We’ll discuss your ideal outcome in terms of function, esthetics, longevity, and comfort—and then design a plan that achieves exactly that.
Myth #4: “You can get your final permanent teeth at the same day or the day after surgery, why wait several months?”
Reality: Nothing could be further from the truth. A full-arch reconstruction is not just a product—it’s a medical procedure with permanent consequences. Many centers use the same buzzwords “Same-Day Teeth,” “Teeth in a Day” and promise they’ll deliver your final prosthesis the same or next day. That’s a red flag. Here’s why:
Your body didn’t lose its teeth overnight—and it won’t heal overnight either.
Lifelong dental issues that led to extractions and bone loss take time to develop, and they take time and biological healing to repair. Rushing to place a final prosthesis within hours of surgery is not only clinically risky—it often leads to failure. That “final” prosthesis may crack, loosen, or need to be replaced because it wasn’t done in proper healing sequence.
At Elite Dental Specialists, we don’t rush just to complete a job—we follow evidence-based protocols that prioritize:
Soft tissue healing
Bone integration (osseointegration)
Bite stabilization
And ultimately, long-term comfort and aesthetics
Safety. Comfort. Peace of Mind.
We understand that undergoing full-mouth dental surgery can feel intimidating. That’s why patient safety, well-being, and comfort are always my top priorities.
To ensure a completely pain-free experience, all major implant procedures are performed under IV sedation, administered by a certified nurse anesthetist or MD anesthesiologist—not a dentist dabbling in sedation. Your wellbeing is most important to us, we will monitor you safely while your ’ll be asleep and comfortable, and you won’t feel a thing during the procedure.
Don’t Be Misled by Myths – Know What You’re Really Getting with Dental Implants
When it comes to full-mouth reconstruction or implant-supported prosthetics, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by ads, promises, and price tags. But not all treatment plans—or doctors—are created equal.
As a prosthodontist, I have more than three years of advanced training beyond dental school, focused solely on rebuilding and restoring complex dental structures. We are known as the “Architects of the Smile”—and we’re held to a much higher standard than general dentists or corporate-run implant centers.
