Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. Your first visit, exam, and personalized treatment plan are always free, with no pressure and no obligation to move forward.
What tooth replacement options do you offer in Sarasota?
We focus on dental implants and dentures: single implants, implant bridges, full-arch fixed implants, snap-in dentures, our signature SureFit Smile, Beautiful and Ultimate Smile dentures, and traditional removable dentures.
What is the difference between dental implants and dentures?
A dental implant replaces the tooth root and is anchored in the jaw, so the new tooth stays fixed in place. A traditional denture rests on the gums and is removable. Implant-secured options like snap-in dentures and SureFit Smile combine both: a denture that locks onto implants for extra stability.
How experienced is Dr. Duke with dental implants in Sarasota?
Implants are Dr. Duke's lifelong focus. He places close to 1,000 implants and more than 150 full-arch (All-on-X) restorations every year, backed by nearly a decade of full-mouth restoration experience and 700+ hours of implant-specific training.
How many implants do I need to replace a full arch of teeth?
A full-arch fixed restoration can be supported by as few as four implants. The exact number depends on your bone and bite, and Dr. Duke will recommend the right plan at your free consultation.
Why does an in-house dental lab matter?
Your implants and dentures are designed and finished in our own on-site lab instead of being shipped to a far-away lab. That means a more precise fit, a shade and shape tuned to your face, and often fewer visits.
Do you offer sedation for dental implant procedures?
Yes. We offer laughing gas, IV sedation, and general anesthesia provided by board-certified anesthesiologists, so bigger procedures can feel calm and comfortable.
Do you offer financing for implants and dentures?
Yes. We work with CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and PatientFi so you can start treatment now and pay over time. Our team will help you find the option that fits.
