Dental Implants

How much do dental implants cost in Temecula?

A complete single tooth dental implant at Legacy Dental Temecula starts at $2,495 — that's the implant, abutment, and crown start to finish. The final cost depends on whether bone grafting is needed and other individual factors. We offer flexible financing through CareCredit and in-house payment plans. Call (951) 972-8080 for a personalized quote at your complimentary exam.

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia — you won't feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgery soreness is normal for a few days and is typically managed with over-the-counter medication. Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, the titanium implant post can last a lifetime. The crown on top typically lasts 15–25 years before needing replacement due to normal wear. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups are the key to long-lasting implants.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most adults with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gums, sufficient bone density, and no uncontrolled health conditions. Dr. Tibbitts will evaluate your specific situation during your complimentary implant exam. Bone grafting can address insufficient bone density if needed.

Does insurance cover dental implants?

Many PPO dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for dental implants. We work with most major PPO plans and will help you understand your benefits before treatment. Call (951) 972-8080 to verify your coverage — we'll do the legwork for you.

What is the dental implant process?

The process involves: (1) Complimentary consultation & exam, (2) Implant placement surgery, (3) Healing period of 3–6 months for osseointegration, (4) Crown placement. Some patients qualify for same-day placement. Dr. Tibbitts will outline your specific timeline at consultation.

All-on-4 Dental Implants

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement system using just 4 strategically placed implants to support a complete set of permanent teeth. It's designed for patients who have lost most or all teeth in an arch. The angled implant placement often eliminates the need for bone grafting and allows faster treatment — including same-day teeth in many cases.

How much does All-on-4 cost in Temecula?

All-on-4 procedures typically range from $20,000–$30,000 per arch. While significant, compare this to traditional individual implants (which could cost $60,000–$90,000 for a full arch) or the ongoing costs and limitations of dentures. We offer CareCredit financing and in-house plans. Call (951) 972-8080 for your free All-on-4 consultation.

How long does the All-on-4 procedure take?

The surgery itself is completed in one day. Many patients leave with a temporary set of teeth the same day ("teeth in a day"). The final permanent prosthesis is placed after full healing, usually 3–6 months later.

Do I need bone grafting for All-on-4?

One of the key advantages of All-on-4 is that the angled back implants maximize contact with available bone — often eliminating the need for bone grafting even in patients with some bone loss. Dr. Tibbitts will determine this at your consultation.

Invisalign & Orthodontics

What is an Invisalign Premier Provider?

The Invisalign Premier Provider designation is awarded by Align Technology to dentists who have completed a high volume of successful treatments. Dr. Andrew Tibbitts has significantly more Invisalign experience than a general dentist, ensuring you get the best possible results with clear aligners.

How much does Invisalign cost in Temecula?

Invisalign treatment at Legacy Dental typically ranges from $3,000–$6,000 depending on case complexity and treatment duration. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign similarly to traditional braces. Schedule a free consultation to get your exact quote.

How long does Invisalign take?

Most Invisalign cases are completed in 12–18 months. Minor corrections can sometimes be achieved in as little as 6 months. Dr. Tibbitts will give you a specific timeline estimate at your consultation.

Can adults get Invisalign?

Absolutely! Invisalign is especially popular with adults because it's discreet — most people won't notice you're wearing aligners. There's no age limit; healthy teeth and gums are all you need.
