Panama City's family-owned dental practice, helping you find out if dental implants are right for you.

Quick Summary
A free implant consultation is a no-cost first visit where we find out if dental implants are right for you. It is available to patients without dental insurance and includes 3D imaging and a full evaluation, a $399 value. You leave with answers and a clear next step, and you do not have to decide anything on the spot.
Marina Pointe Dental offers this consultation in Panama City as part of our dental implant services. Whether you are missing one tooth, wearing a denture that never feels secure, or facing an extraction, this visit gives you a straight answer about what is possible.
We begin by talking through your goals, your health history, and what bothers you about your teeth or your current replacement. Then we take a CBCT scan, a three-dimensional image of your jaw that shows far more than a standard X-ray. A review of radiographic evaluation in implant patients notes that the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology recommends three-dimensional imaging for every implant site evaluation.
After the scan, we go over the results with you and explain what they mean in plain language. We talk about whether an implant is a good fit now, whether you would need any preparation first, and what your options are if implants are not the best choice.
Implants anchor into the jawbone, so the amount and quality of your bone matter most. The CBCT scan lets us measure both, which helps us choose the right implant size and position. If your bone is thin, we explain what extra steps could be needed before treatment.
We also check the health of your gums and nearby teeth, since healthy tissue supports a healthy implant.
Your medical history matters too, because some conditions and habits can affect healing. If we find something that needs attention first, we tell you. Answering these questions honestly helps us build a plan that fits your health and your goals.
Our free implant consultation is for patients without dental insurance. It covers the CBCT imaging and the evaluation described above, a $399 value. The visit is a chance to learn what treatment would involve, with no pressure to schedule anything afterward. Reach out to our team to request your visit.
If you have dental insurance and want to know where you stand, send us a message. Our team can explain which visit fits your situation and what to expect.
Many patients come in asking about one missing tooth, and a single dental implant replaces it without relying on the teeth next to it. If you wear a denture, an implant overdenture can hold it firmly in place so it stays secure when you eat and speak. We can also explain how implant crowns finish the restoration on top of an implant. Each option works differently, so we match the choice to you.
For patients missing most or all of the teeth in an arch, our team recently completed training in full arch fixed hybrids. A fixed hybrid is a full set of replacement teeth held in place by several implants, so it stays in your mouth instead of coming out at night. We can talk about whether this option fits your bone, your goals, and your budget.
Bring a list of your medications and any recent dental records or X-rays you have. If you wear a denture or partial, bring it with you so we can see how it fits. Having this information ready helps us give you a more complete picture.
Write down your questions before you arrive, such as how long treatment could take, what recovery looks like, and what it may cost. We will answer what we can at this visit and explain what depends on your final treatment plan.
The consultation costs nothing for patients without insurance, and we can talk through payment options before you decide on treatment. We offer financing options through CareCredit and Cherry, so you can spread the cost of care over time.
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card with flexible monthly payment plans, and Cherry financing offers patient-friendly financing with fast approvals. Our team can show you how each works so you know what to expect before you commit to anything.
