Oral surgery and dental implants near Kent, WA.
An independently owned, single-doctor oral surgery practice 25 to 30 minutes south of Kent in Bonney Lake. Full-arch dental implants at $15,000 per arch, all-inclusive: a familiar Valley Freeway drive, a structurally different practice.

Four reasons the drive south is the right call.
Kent is served by capable general dentists and a handful of multi-surgeon oral surgery groups, and King County patients researching full-arch implants are heavily marketed to by national chain centers. This is not a competence claim about any of them. The differences with Elite are structural: who owns the practice, who performs the surgery, what the price includes, and whether it is published at all.
Published, all-inclusive full-arch pricing
One flat price per arch: surgery, IV sedation, the same-day PMMA provisional, the week-8 prototype try-in, and the final zirconia bridge, posted publicly. King County OMS practices rarely publish full-arch pricing, and patient-reported quotes in the Kent, Renton, and Tukwila corridor commonly run $25,000 to $50,000 per arch, with chain centers at $20,000 to $35,000.
The surgeon at consultation is the surgeon at every visit
Most oral surgery groups serving Kent are multi-provider practices where consultation, surgery, and follow-up may involve different clinicians. Elite is single-doctor. Dr. Volland performs your consultation, your surgery, every try-in, the delivery, and every follow-up. Across a 12-week full-arch course, that continuity is the difference between one relationship and five handoffs.
Independently owned, not corporately managed
Kent patients searching for implants encounter national chains and DSO-managed multi-specialty groups first, because those are the organizations with marketing budgets. Elite is owned outright by Dr. Volland: no dental service organization, no chain affiliation, no private-equity parent setting production targets. The clinical decisions and the pricing are his.
Including remote anchorage and complex cases
Patients with severe maxillary atrophy who have been told they need 6 to 9 months of grafting, or that they are not candidates at all, are frequently candidates with remote anchorage protocols. Zygomatic implants and related remote anchorage techniques are not standard at most King County practices; for Kent patients seeking a second opinion on candidacy, that is often the reason they make the drive.
If you are comparing King County chain centers…
A factual comparison between the national chain model that dominates Kent-area search results and Elite. Both describe board-certified care; the differences are structural, not clinical.
National Chain Implant Centers
Corporate networks, typically owned by dental service organizations or backed by private equity, with regional or national management setting policy.
Multi-specialist team: the surgeon and prosthodontist you see may vary by visit and treatment phase.
Chain centers typically $20K to $35K per arch; King County multi-provider practices commonly $25K to $50K, rarely published.
"Permanent teeth in 24 hours," though osseointegration takes 4 to 6 months and the day-one bridge is transitional.
Priced $4K to $8K above All-on-4 and framed as a premium tier upgrade.
Elite Oral Surgery
Independently owned by Dr. Volland. No DSO, no chain, no private-equity parent.
One surgeon. Dr. Volland performs every consultation, surgery, try-in, delivery, and follow-up.
$15,000 per arch, all-inclusive and published. Final zirconia included as standard, not a premium upgrade.
Same-day provisional bridge, final zirconia at week 10 to 12 after integration: the biology described accurately.
Priced identically to All-on-4 at $15,000, so the recommendation is purely clinical.
A complete set of teeth, planned around your anatomy.
Full-arch reconstruction replaces a full row of failing or missing teeth with a fixed, implant-supported bridge. Every implant is mapped from 3D imaging before the day of surgery.
The full surgical scope, available to Kent patients.
From routine wisdom teeth to complex full-arch reconstruction, planned and performed by a board-certified specialist, close to home.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
Full-Arch Dental Implants
Zygomatic Implants
IV Sedation & Anesthesia
Four implants per arch supporting a complete fixed bridge, with 25+ years of outcome data and 95%+ implant survival at 10 years. Kent patients typically see $20,000 to $35,000 per arch at chain centers and $25,000 to $50,000 at multi-provider practices; at Elite the same protocol is $15,000 all-inclusive.
Six implants per arch instead of four, selected for strong bite forces, bruxism, or specific anatomy, never as a price tier. Chain centers and King County groups commonly price All-on-6 $4,000 to $8,000 above All-on-4 and present it as an upgrade. Here it costs the same, so the recommendation carries no revenue incentive.
For severe maxillary bone loss, longer implants anchored in the cheekbone replace the resorbed upper jaw as the fixation site, eliminating the 6 to 9 month grafting timeline. These protocols require specific training and are not standard at most King County OMS practices, which is why second-opinion candidacy is one of the most common reasons Kent patients come south.
The umbrella term most patients research first. It overlaps completely with All-on-4, All-on-X, and full-arch implants. Some chain centers price a "full mouth" package differently from an "All-on-4" package even when the clinical work is identical; the evaluation and the price here are the same regardless of the words you searched.
All four third molars in one session under in-house IV sedation by a board-certified surgeon, with most patients back to normal in 5 to 7 days. A referral from your general dentist is requested; Kent-area dentists are welcome to refer, and clinical communication goes back promptly.
Teeth broken at the gumline, fractured or ankylosed roots, dilacerated roots, teeth close to the inferior alveolar nerve, and anxious patients who need sedation: the cases general dentists refer out. Handled in a controlled surgical environment with proper instrumentation and IV sedation available.
Socket preservation immediately after an extraction protects bone volume for a future implant; a sinus lift rebuilds height in the upper-back jaw where the sinus has expanded. Both are priced separately, in writing, before any surgical date is set.
Four visits over about twelve weeks.
The full-arch path from first consultation to final teeth, every step performed by Dr. Volland himself, 25 to 30 minutes south of Kent on WA-167 and WA-410.
Consultation & 3D imaging
Meet Dr. Volland, get a CBCT scan, and leave with a written treatment plan and itemized pricing. From Kent it is 25 to 30 minutes down WA-167, a comparable drive to the King County specialists you are already evaluating.
Placement & same-day teeth
Implants are placed under in-house IV sedation and you go home the same day with a fixed provisional bridge. Schedule off-peak so the ride home up WA-410 and WA-167 is an easy one.
Prototype try-in
A try-in to refine bite, esthetics, and speech before the final bridge is milled: the step that chain "24-hour" marketing skips over. Short and non-surgical, easiest mid-morning or early afternoon.
Final zirconia bridge
Your final zirconia bridge is delivered once osseointegration is confirmed: the finished result, on a predictable timeline, at a published $15,000 per arch rather than a quote you had to sit through a sales appointment to hear.
Straight down the Valley Freeway.
Kent sits at the north end of the WA-167 corridor and Bonney Lake sits just off its south end, which makes this one of the simplest drives in the region: one highway, one interchange, one exit. Most patients schedule mid-morning or early afternoon and avoid the Valley Freeway commute entirely.
WA-167 South → WA-410 East
From Kent Station, East Hill, or the valley, WA-167 South past Auburn and Sumner, then WA-410 East into Bonney Lake. Almost entirely highway and predictable off-peak; peak northbound congestion mostly affects the return trip, which can add 10 to 15 minutes.
WA-18 East → Auburn Way S → WA-410
From Kent East Hill and Lake Meridian, WA-18 East to Auburn Way South and across to WA-410 East. A useful alternative when WA-167 is backed up, and often the shorter option from the Covington side of Kent.

Questions patients actually ask.
The practical questions Kent residents ask before scheduling a first consultation.
It is real, all-inclusive, and not the result of cutting clinical quality: the same titanium implants from major manufacturers, the same zirconia from established labs, the same peer-reviewed techniques, the same permit-authorized IV sedation. The savings are structural. Bonney Lake commercial costs are a fraction of the Kent valley and King County core, a single-doctor model carries far less overhead than a multi-provider group, full-arch is the primary focus of the practice, and there is no DSO or corporate parent taking a cut. Included: surgery, IV sedation, the same-day provisional, the week-8 try-in, the final zirconia, standard imaging, and follow-ups. Priced separately: bone grafting and zygomatic implants when clinically required, always in writing before a surgical date is set.
For wisdom teeth or a straightforward extraction, you may not need to. The Kent patients who make this drive are usually full-arch implant patients comparing real numbers, patients who want one surgeon rather than a team, or patients who were told elsewhere that they need extensive grafting or are not implant candidates. In those three situations the structural differences are meaningful enough that 25 minutes stops being the deciding factor.
Kent is one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the country, and interpreter services can be arranged for consultations and surgical visits: please mention your language preference when you schedule. Written treatment plans, estimates, and post-operative instructions can be translated when needed. For full-arch decisions in particular, where the clinical and financial information matters a great deal, clear language access is part of informed consent, not a courtesy.
A phone consultation can answer general questions about candidacy, pricing, and process. A definitive treatment plan requires 3D Cone Beam CT imaging, which requires an in-person visit, so the first drive is for the imaging-based consultation. After that, most planning conversations can happen by phone or video. If you already have recent 3D imaging, including from a chain-center consultation, we can review it and give preliminary guidance before you schedule.
Insurance participation will be confirmed before the practice opens, and we will verify your specific benefits in writing before any treatment is scheduled. For full-arch cases, dental insurance typically contributes a limited amount, since most plans cap major procedures at $1,000 to $3,000 per lifetime. Medical insurance may cover meaningful portions when a case qualifies as medically necessary, and we will help you pursue that where it applies. HSA and FSA funds apply to every procedure, and multiple third-party financing options are available to spread payment across months.
True emergencies, meaning significant bleeding, signs of severe infection, or an allergic reaction, warrant immediate emergency department evaluation regardless of distance, and the Kent and south King County area is well served by several hospital emergency departments. For urgent but non-emergency issues, we provide phone guidance, often with photos, and arrange same-day or next-day evaluation. Most post-operative concerns can be assessed remotely before anyone decides a drive is necessary.
Same drive time. Different practice.
For full-arch implants, the consultation is complimentary, including 3D imaging and a written treatment plan with itemized pricing. You will meet Dr. Volland personally, review your imaging together, and find out whether the structural differences with chain centers and large multi-specialty groups matter for your case. No obligation.
