Michigan Residents Who Got Their Confidence Back

I spent five years avoiding cameras and covering my mouth when I laughed. Dr. Betts and his team gave me my confidence back. The procedure was so much easier than I expected, and my implants look completely natural. I actually smile in photos now.

After struggling with dentures that constantly slipped, I finally bit the bullet and got implants. Best decision I ever made. I can eat steak again, speak clearly, and I don't think about my teeth 20 times a day anymore. Dr. Betts made the whole process painless.

- Robert M.

I was terrified of the surgery and convinced I couldn't afford it. The team walked me through every step, offered financing that fit my budget, and made me feel completely at ease. Six months later, I look in the mirror and see the person I used to be. I'm so grateful.

A Note from the Desk of Dr. Norman Betts

I see you. I've worked with hundreds of patients who felt exactly the way you do right now; tired of planning meals around what you can actually chew, exhausted from years of temporary fixes that never quite work, frustrated by the constant worry about whether your dentures will slip at the worst possible moment. Maybe you've been thinking about implants for months, or even years, but the fear of surgery or the overwhelm of making the right choice kept you stuck.

Here's what I want you to know: this decision doesn't have to feel scary or complicated. All-on-4 implants have transformed the lives of my patients, not just their smiles, but their entire sense of confidence and freedom. I've seen people cry tears of joy when they bite into an apple for the first time in a decade. I've watched patients light up when they realize they can laugh without covering their mouth. This is what we do, and we do it with the kind of care and precision that comes from over 30 years of dedication to this work.

You deserve to feel like yourself again. Let's talk about how we can make that happen together. Your consultation is the first step, and I promise you'll leave feeling hopeful, informed, and ready to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the procedure painful?

▼

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. We offer sedation options to keep you completely relaxed during surgery, and post-procedure discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Many patients return to normal activities within 2-4 days.

What if I don't have enough bone for implants?

▼

That's the beauty of All-on-4 - it's specifically designed for patients with bone loss. The implants are placed at precise angles to maximize your existing bone structure, often eliminating the need for bone grafting entirely.

How much do All-on-4 implants cost?

▼

Treatment costs vary based on your specific needs, but we provide transparent pricing during your consultation. We also offer flexible financing options and work with you to maximize insurance benefits. Many patients find monthly payments more affordable than they expected.

Will my implants look natural?

▼

Yes. Your prosthetic teeth are custom-designed to match your facial structure, age, and desired appearance. The goal is a smile that looks and feels like your own - not fake or obviously artificial.

How do I know if I'm a candidate for All-on-4?

▼

The best way to find out is through a consultation with Dr. Betts. We'll perform a comprehensive evaluation, including 3D imaging, to determine if All-on-4 is right for you and create a personalized treatment plan.

You've spent years thinking about this, researching options, wondering if now is the right time. Here's the truth: waiting won't make the decision easier, and it won't restore your confidence. Every day you delay is another day of limiting what you eat, avoiding photos, and feeling less than yourself. Dr. Betts and our team are ready to guide you through this transformation with the expertise, care, and support you deserve. Your free consultation is the first step toward the smile - and the life - you've been waiting for.
