Question 1

Transparency

Accepted Answer

One of the healthcare industry’s greatest follies is lack of fee transparency for patients. Patients undergo treatments they aren’t even sure they need and get bills from doctors and insurance companies that they never expected. Dr. Saltman understands this from both the physician and patient perspective and strives to create an innovative experience that simplifies fee structures and empowers patients to make the best decisions for their health by educating and informing, rather than leaving them in the dark. Patients always leave with their questions answered and a clear picture of the duration and cost of all expected treatments and options.

Question 2

Disrupting Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Practice

Accepted Answer

The unfortunate reality is that in surgery residency you are trained to move quickly both in consultations and during surgery. The result is that across the spectrum of surgical practices patients overwhelmingly don't get enough time with doctors to fully understand their conditions and treatments and build comfort and rapport, and surgeons are doing far too many surgeries per day to put the time, planning, and meticulous execution into complex dental implant treatments to achieve the best results.

The typical oral surgeon performs anywhere from 8-12 surgeries per day, which is simply incompatible with performing implant surgery at the highest level. These are surgeries in which tenths of milimeters and single degrees of angulation of implant placement make the difference between an aesthetic or ugly result and/or the implant lasting forever versus failing in 10 years. Dr. Saltman restricts his schedule to at most 2-3 surgeries per day for this reason, so that particularly with the complexity of dental implant treatment each case has every detail planned, optimized, and executed to perfection.

This is why both patients and dentists rely on Dr. Saltman to provide the most sophisticated dental implant and tissue engineering surgeries for hundreds of miles, while providing the most informative and comfortable patient experience. Dr. Saltman's favorite cases are when patients come for consultation saying, "I was told by another surgeon I am not a candidate for dental implants," because to this day every single one of those patients has left with a beautiful, functional, implant-supported smile.

Question 3

The Value of Your Time

Accepted Answer

Dr. Saltman appreciates the intricacy of his work and happily spends time with patients for as long as is needed to fully understand the diagnoses and the treatments available to improve their lives. At our office, you will never feel rushed or like you are short-changed on time with your time with the doctor.
 
At the same time, by employing the most modern technologies, biomaterials, and advanced techniques, Dr. Saltman delivers the beautiful results for which he is known in shorter treatment timelines and fewer visits than industry standard, so you can minimize the time away from your work and family.
 
Many implants can be placed immediately at the time of extraction, greatly reducing treatment time to just a few months.
 
Most patients can go from an unhealthy tooth to a restored (final crown placed) dental implant in a mere 4-5 months, about half the time of traditional dental implant workflows.
 
An already missing tooth can be replaced with an implant and restored with a crown even more quickly, often within only a few months!

Question 4

One Comprehensive Fee

Accepted Answer

When most people think of a dental implant, they think of one procedure for one fee, because this makes sense. The reality of most practices is that on top of the "dental implant fee" there is a plethora of other fees added on for every biomaterial used or additional “procedure” that is performed with the implant, in part because this is how insurance dictates reimbursement. This often doubles the cost of treatment, and worse yet insurance rarely covers any of these adjunctive procedures like bone grafting. 
​
Think of being delighted to find a $3 slice of cherry pie on your local diner’s menu, only to get your check and find that the whipped cream it came with cost an additional $2, the ice cream $3, and the silverware and plate $1 each. You’ve paid four times what you expected, and this unfortunately happens in healthcare every day.
​
Dr. Saltman knows this system is broken and has created a comprehensive fee structure which treats all patients equally. You will never have to ask if you really need every component of treatment to save cost, because he will use whatever advanced biomaterial or technique it takes for any surgery to give you the absolute best and fastest result, without increasing your cost simply because you needed a bone graft or additional procedure at the same time. Our experienced staff will still maximize any possible benefits from your dental and medical insurance plans, but the quality of your care will not be limited by the boundaries typically imposed by insurance companies.
 
Consultation fees are 100% credited towards the cost of surgical treatment.
 
One comprehensive dental implant fee that includes whatever it takes at the time of surgery for perfect results every time!

Question 5

Premium Biomaterials and Cutting-Edge Technology

Accepted Answer

Biomaterials represents an approximately $120-billion industry, and there are a myriad of implants and biomaterials available, ranging from budget to premium. There are also a number of emerging technologies, some of which are revolutionally, and others, expensive gimmicks.
 
Most patients are walking around town with no idea what implants, bone grafts, and tissue substitutes are living in their jaws, but you can always trust that Dr. Saltman is using the best products and technologies available to achieve optimal results in the shortest treatment timeline. At our practice, you never have to worry about what inferior products are being used to cut cost.
 
Dr. Saltman proudly works with Straumann, who leads the world in titanium dental implant biotechnology and allows him to achieve such consistent, optimal, and quick results. He is also one of the few surgeons in the United States who is fully trained and experienced in placing Zirconia (non-metal) dental implants, which are the future of dental implantology!
