If you have been thinking about dental implants but keep putting off the first appointment, you are not alone. Fear of the unknown, uncertainty about cost, and general dental anxiety are the most common reasons people delay — sometimes for years. This guide walks you through exactly what happens at a free dental implant consultation at Advanced Dentistry & Implants in Littleton, CO — so you know what to expect before you walk in the door.

Why Do So Many People Delay the First Appointment?

Fear of the unknown: Many patients have had negative dental experiences in the past. The idea of surgery — even minor outpatient surgery — can feel intimidating when you do not know what to expect.

Cost uncertainty: Not knowing what implants cost — or whether financing is available — keeps many people from even asking the question.

Dental anxiety: Some patients simply do not like dental offices. The sounds, the clinical environment, the anticipation of discomfort — it adds up.

The good news? A consultation is none of those things. It is a conversation. It is information-gathering. And at Advanced Dentistry & Implants, it is completely free with no obligation to proceed.

Step 1: Welcome and Medical History

When you arrive, our team will greet you and ask you to complete a brief medical history form if you have not done so online. This helps Dr. Mohager understand your overall health, any medications you take, and any conditions that could affect treatment — such as diabetes, blood thinners, or bone density issues.

Step 2: Dr. Mohager Listens First

Before any examination, Dr. Mohager sits down and listens. What brought you in today? What is bothering you about your smile? What have you tried before? Are you anxious about dental work? This conversation sets the tone for everything that follows — and it is the part of the appointment patients most often say surprised them. "He actually listened" is something we hear regularly from new patients.

Step 3: Clinical Examination

Dr. Mohager performs a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. He evaluates the health of your remaining teeth, checks for gum disease, and assesses the areas where teeth are missing or failing. This examination is the foundation for every recommendation he makes.

Step 4: Complimentary CBCT 3D Imaging

At Advanced Dentistry & Implants, a complimentary CBCT 3D scan is taken at your consultation — at no charge. This provides a detailed three-dimensional view of your jawbone, allowing Dr. Mohager to assess bone density, locate nerves and sinuses, and begin planning implant positions digitally. This is the same imaging that drives the computer-guided surgical planning used on every case at ADI. You leave knowing exactly what your bone looks like and what is possible.

Step 5: Treatment Options and Honest Recommendations

Based on the examination and 3D imaging, Dr. Mohager explains your options in plain language — not clinical jargon. If implants are appropriate, he outlines the recommended plan including the number of implants, any preparatory procedures needed, and the expected timeline. If implants are not the best option for your situation, he will tell you honestly and suggest what is. No upselling, no pressure.

Step 6: Transparent Cost and Financing Discussion

Transparency about cost is a core value at this practice. You receive a clear, itemized breakdown of what your treatment will cost, what your insurance may cover, and what financing options are available. Single implants at ADI typically range from $3,000 to $6,000. Full-arch All-on-4 restorations start at $20,000 per arch — significantly less than corporate implant centers in the Denver area.

We partner with Cherry, CareCredit, LendingClub, and Proceed Finance — all offering 0% APR for qualified applicants. There is no pressure to commit at this appointment. The goal is to give you everything you need to make the right decision on your own timeline.

What You Leave Knowing

You will also know exactly who your doctor is, what technology he uses, and how he approaches your specific case — because Dr. Mohager personally conducts every consultation. You will never meet a patient coordinator or sales consultant here.
