Imagine eating anything you want, smiling without hesitation, and feeling like yourself again. Dental implants can give you that freedom, but finding the right dentist matters. Dental implants offer a permanent solution, but the cost can be a concern. Here are five questions to ask that will help you get the best value and long-term outcomes before you commit to this significant investment:
- How long have you been placing implants?
- How many implants do you place weekly, monthly, and annually?
- How many full-arch dental implant cases do you place a month, and how many years of experience do you have performing full-arch dental implants?
- How do you address problems that can arise with fractures of the teeth? Do they have a lab on-site for repairs, or do they need to send them to an outside lab?
- Does the specialist have a plan to address potential failure for full-arch cases?
These questions might sound intimidating, but the right dentist will welcome them. At Total Freedom in Scottsdale, with over 35 years of experience specializing in periodontics and implant placement, I understand the importance of finding a dentist you can trust.

Let’s explore why these questions matter and how the answers can give you the confidence to make this life-changing decision.
Why Experience Matters
Experience isn’t the only factor when choosing an implant dentist, but it’s a crucial one. Here’s why…
Skill Development:
Successfully placing implants requires precision and adaptability. I refine my techniques and problem-solving skills with each case, especially when handling complex situations. My thousands of successful cases give me the experience to navigate unexpected challenges during your procedure.
“The most advanced technology is only as good as the hands using it. Decades of experience give me that edge.”
– Dr. Kaiser
Understanding Patient Needs:
Implant surgery can feel daunting. My decades of experience mean I’ve worked with patients of all backgrounds, situations, and anxiety levels. I’m here to answer your questions, explain every step clearly, and create a treatment plan that feels right for you.
Predictable Results:
Success rates are often linked to experience. An experienced dentist isn’t guessing; they’re drawing on a track record. With implants, choosing a provider with proven outcomes minimizes the risk of complications.
The Dr. Kaiser Factor:
Since 1978, I’ve placed thousands of implants. My further specialization in periodontics ensures I understand the importance of a healthy gum foundation for long-term implant success.
“Some dentists place implants occasionally. For me, it’s what I do every single day.”
– Dr. Kaiser
Patient Example:
Imagine a patient with significant bone loss in their jaw. An inexperienced dentist might suggest traditional bone grafting, a lengthy procedure. I, however, may recommend an alternative technique I’ve honed over time, potentially saving you months of treatment and additional costs.
Beyond the Procedure
Choosing the right dentist is about more than just placing the implants themselves. It’s about what happens before, during, and after your procedure.
The Total Freedom In-House Lab
At Total Freedom, our in-house lab means your restorations – those beautiful new teeth – are created right here, not shipped elsewhere.
Benefits for Patients
- Speed and Convenience: This means no weeks-long delays while your teeth are made at an outside lab, and often a much faster process from start to finish.
- Quality and Collaboration: Our lab technicians work closely with me to ensure your new smile is custom-made for a perfect fit and a natural look.
- On-the-Spot Repairs: Should an issue ever arise, repairs can often be handled same-day, saving you days or weeks of multiple appointments.
“From the start to the finish, patients receive step by step quality that is unsurpassed any place here in the Valley.”
– Dr. Kaiser
Peace of Mind
At Total Freedom, we never treat you like just another case file. An in-house lab reflects our commitment to keeping your care convenient and personalized every step of the way.
What If…? Planning for the Long-Term
Dental implants are designed to last for many years, but it’s wise to be prepared for any potential challenges down the road. This proactive approach is key to maximizing the lifespan of your investment.
Success is About More than Today
I believe implant success is about more than just flawless placement. It’s about anticipating what could occur in five, ten, or even twenty years so you’re never caught off guard.
“The best way to solve implant problems is to prevent them in the first place. That’s where experience makes a difference.”
– Dr. Kaiser
Your Personalized Maintenance Plan
During your consultation, I’ll assess your risk factors and create a personalized plan to keep your implants healthy and functional. This ensures minor issues are caught early, minimizing the need for major interventions later on.
Addressing Potential Issues
Even the best set of teeth can sometimes need adjustments or minor repairs. Wear and tear, changes in bite, and gum health can all play a role. The key is identifying and addressing these concerns promptly.
Peace of Mind for Years to Come
Knowing your dentist has a long-term plan is especially important for full-arch cases. At Total Freedom, we’re committed to being your partner in implant care for years to come.
The Dr. Kaiser Difference
My decades of implant experience mean I’ve likely encountered and solved any issue you might face down the road. This translates to peace of mind that you’re in the most capable hands for the long haul.n
Understanding Implant Costs
The cost of dental implants can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Number of Implants: Replacing a single tooth is less costly than a full-arch restoration.
- Materials: High-quality materials ensure your implants last but may have a higher initial cost.
- Complexity: Cases involving bone grafting or additional procedures will naturally be more expensive.
- Provider Experience: An experienced implant dentist can often streamline the process, potentially saving you money in the long run.
Don’t let price alone dictate your decision. The cheapest option upfront can end up costing more if complications arise. At Total Freedom, we offer flexible financing options to make this vital investment affordable.
The Total Freedom Difference
You have many choices when it comes to implant providers. Here’s what sets Total Freedom Dental Implant Center apart…

“I had a bunch of problem teeth that had been repaired, lots of fillings, crowns falling out. Lots of money spent fixing and doing it again. Finally I had had enough. I had a consultation with Total Freedom. Best thing I ever did.
Had them all taken out in one day, and a new set put in the next day. Can’t be more happy!!! Great people, excellent work!!
I would recommend this to anyone who is tired of spending money fixing and repairing a bunch of poor condition teeth. This was worth every penny to have this done. No regrets what so ever”
