FAQ

Questions Patients Ask Before Booking

We believe an informed patient is a confident one. Here are honest, thorough answers to the questions we hear most often — because transparency is at the heart of how we practice.

Have a Question Not Listed Here?

Call or book online and we'll answer everything during your consultation — no obligation, no commitment.

Call (804) 465-7778
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with missing teeth are candidates for some form of implant restoration. Key factors include sufficient jawbone density (or the ability to build it up through bone grafting), good overall health, and non-smoking status — though smokers can often still qualify. The best way to know is a consultation with Dr. Bhardwaj, including a 3D CBCT scan to evaluate your specific bone volume and anatomy. We see patients who were told elsewhere they were "not candidates" and find solutions for them regularly.
What's the difference between Full Arch, Snap-In Implants, and Overdentures?
All three use dental implants as anchors, but they differ in how the prosthesis is attached. A Full Arch Restoration (All-on-4/6) is permanently fixed — you never remove it, and it functions exactly like natural teeth. Snap-In Implants use snapping attachments that secure your denture firmly during the day but allow easy removal for nightly cleaning. An Implant Overdenture uses 2–4 implants with ball or bar attachments — providing far superior retention over conventional dentures while remaining removable. Dr. Bhardwaj will recommend the right option based on your bone density, lifestyle, and goals.
Is the procedure painful? What should I expect?
Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia (and sedation if preferred), so you feel no pain during the procedure itself. Most patients report that the discomfort afterward is much less than they feared — typically managed well with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 days. Our team will walk you through exactly what to expect at every stage, so there are no surprises.
How long does the full process take from consultation to final teeth?
Many patients receive provisional (temporary) teeth the same day as implant placement. The total timeline to your final permanent restoration varies: for straightforward full-arch cases, it's typically 3–6 months — the implants need time to integrate with the bone before final prosthetics are attached. Snap-in and overdenture timelines can be shorter. Dr. Bhardwaj will give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
How long do implants last? Are they really permanent?
Dental implants (the titanium posts) are designed to last a lifetime and have a 95%+ long-term success rate when placed properly and cared for. The prosthetic arch or teeth on top typically last 15–25+ years depending on material and maintenance. With regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene, full-arch implant restorations can truly be a once-in-a-lifetime investment.
Do you accept my dental insurance?
Yes — we accept most major dental insurance plans and work with your carrier to maximize your benefits. While many insurance plans have limitations on implant coverage, our team handles all paperwork and pre-authorizations to make sure you get everything you're entitled to. Any out-of-pocket portions can be covered through our financing options. Call us to verify your specific plan before your appointment.
What financing options do you offer?
We offer four ways to make treatment affordable: CareCredit with flexible repayment terms and financing options, Sunbit with high approval rates and flexible monthly terms, in-office payment plans tailored to your budget, and insurance maximization to reduce your balance upfront. We'll walk through all options at your consultation so you can start treatment without financial stress.
Can I come in for a second opinion if I was quoted elsewhere?
Absolutely — and we actively encourage it. Second opinions are always obligation-free at Best Smiles. Dr. Bhardwaj is known for giving honest, transparent evaluations. Many patients come to us after receiving quotes from other practices and find that either the treatment plan or the cost was significantly different. You deserve a clear, unbiased picture of your options before making any decision.
What is a prosthodontist, and why does it matter?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who completed 3 additional years of post-doctoral training specifically in restoring and replacing teeth — with an emphasis on function, aesthetics, and biomechanics. This is different from a general dentist who also does implants. For complex restorations like full arches, snap-in implants, and overdentures, seeing a prosthodontist means your care is in the hands of someone whose entire specialization is exactly this type of work.
How do I get started? How quickly can I be seen?
Getting started is easy. You can book online 24/7 at our booking link, or call us directly at (804) 465-7778 during office hours. We offer same-day and next-day availability for consultations whenever possible. Your first appointment includes a full evaluation with Dr. Bhardwaj, a review of your options, and a no-obligation treatment plan. There's truly nothing to lose and a brand new smile to gain.
