Hi, I'm Dr. SAM NA, and I’ve had the pleasure of serving the Bronxville community and our neighboring towns at Pondfield Family Dental Care. I love this community—it's filled with smart, thoughtful people who want the best for themselves and their families. So, when I started seeing more and more ads promoting dental implants for $399, $799, or $999, I knew I had to speak up.

Trust me, I get it—dental implants are a big investment. And when you see deals that promise to save you thousands, it’s tempting to jump in. But as someone who’s treated far too many patients burned by these offers, I want to help you avoid the stress, cost, and regret that can follow.

This article isn’t about scare tactics. It’s about giving you honest, practical questions to ask before committing to an implant provider—especially one offering rock-bottom pricing.

Question #1: What’s Actually Included in That Price?

The truth is, most of those attention-grabbing prices cover just one part of a multi-step process. Often, the price only includes the implant post itself—the part that gets surgically placed in your jawbone. But where’s the rest?

Here's what patients are often shocked to discover costs extra:

• The custom-made crown (your visible, functioning tooth)

• The abutment (the connector between the implant and crown)

• Diagnostic imaging (like 3D scans or x-rays)

• Sedation or anesthesia

• Post-surgical care and any required follow-up visits

• Bone grafting, if needed (and it often is, especially if the tooth’s been missing for a while)

So that $399 deal? It might balloon into $3,000 or more when everything is said and done—and you may not know that until you’re already in the chair.

Question #2: Who’s Actually Performing the Procedure?

In dental implants, experience is everything. Your implant is going into your jawbone. It needs to be placed with surgical precision. At some discount centers, you might be seen by a rotating staff, or by someone who’s done only a handful of implants in their career. That’s not the standard of care you deserve.

Here at Pondfield, we’ve built long-standing relationships with our patients. You’re not just a number—you’re a neighbor. We take time to explain each step and make sure the treatment plan is personalized, not rushed. I’ve had patients come from as far as Mount Vernon and Yonkers because they didn’t feel comfortable with the revolving-door feeling of corporate dental chains.

Question #3: What Happens If There’s a Complication?

This is the part most people don’t think about—until something goes wrong. Implants can fail. Healing can be tricky. Sometimes the crown needs an adjustment. So ask yourself: if your implant starts to hurt or shift, will that $399 provider be available? Or will you be stuck calling a 1-800 number and hoping someone calls you back?

At our office, if you have a question, you call us. If you need to come in, we make it happen—because we're right here in Bronxville, and we stand by our work long after the procedure is done.

The Real Cost of "Cheap"

I’ll never forget a patient from Eastchester who came in after her $799 implant (done at a discount clinic across the city) became infected. They had placed it too close to a nerve, and she was in pain for weeks. We had to remove it, allow her bone to heal, and then start from scratch. It ended up costing her twice as much—not to mention the stress and discomfort.

This is why we believe in doing it right the first time. We offer transparent pricing, flexible financing, and real relationships—not fine print.

FAQs: Straight Answers for Bronxville Patients

Do $399 or $799 dental implants include everything?

Usually not. Those prices often cover only the implant post—not the crown, abutment, or scans.

Are these low-cost options risky?

They can be. Implants placed by inexperienced or rushed providers often lead to complications or failure.

How long does a well-placed implant last?

With expert placement and good care, implants can last 15–25 years or longer. Quality matters.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we do. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your budget, without sacrificing safety or quality.
