Why Tacoma Patients Choose Elite

Four reasons you’ll be glad you made the trip.

Structural advantages that change what your oral surgical experience looks like, and that don’t exist together at most established Tacoma-area OMS practices.

01
Pricing

Published, all-inclusive full-arch pricing

One flat price per arch, surgery, IV sedation, same-day provisional, the prototype try-in, and the final zirconia bridge, posted publicly. No upcharges for materials other practices treat as premium tiers. Tacoma OMS practices typically quote case-by-case after a paid consultation, with full-arch cases commonly $25,000–$45,000. The savings come from operations, Bonney Lake commercial costs and a single-doctor model, not corner-cutting.

02
Continuity

The surgeon at consultation is the surgeon at every visit

Most Tacoma-area OMS practices are multi-surgeon groups where consultation, surgery, and follow-up may involve different providers. Elite is single-doctor. Dr. Volland performs your consultation, surgery, every prototype try-in, the final delivery, and every follow-up himself. Over a 12-week full-arch case, that continuity is not a marketing claim. It is the structural reason the experience is different.

03
Scope

Including remote anchorage and complex cases

Patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss told they need extensive grafting, or that they aren't candidates at all, are often candidates with remote anchorage. Zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone rather than the resorbed jaw, and they aren't standard at most regional practices. They are standard here. Combined with the full traditional scope (wisdom teeth, grafting, sinus lifts, extractions, sedation, and TMJ evaluation), the practice handles cases other offices refer out.

04
In-house lab

Same-day provisional teeth with on-site milling

For full-arch cases, surgery day includes a printed PMMA provisional bridge designed and produced in our in-house lab. You leave with teeth that look natural and let you eat soft foods that night. The prototype try-in and final zirconia are produced through lab partnerships. In-house workflow means tighter quality control, faster adjustments, and a course measured in weeks rather than months.

The Side-by-Side

What’s structurally different and why it matters.

Tacoma-area OMS practices include capable, board-certified surgeons. The differences with Elite aren’t about clinical competence: they’re about how the practice is structured. Both columns describe board-certified oral surgical care.

The Established Tacoma-Area Pattern

Multi-surgeon group model

Structure

Multi-surgeon group with rotating provider coverage across consultation, surgery, and follow-up.

Full-arch pricing

Typically quoted case-by-case after a consultation rather than published; the final zirconia is often priced as an upgrade.

Consultation

Paid consultation typical; the provider you follow up with may rotate.

Scope

Standard OMS scope; zygomatic and remote-anchorage cases are often referred out.

Lab work

External lab partnerships, with longer turnaround on adjustments.

Independent Practice

Elite Oral Surgery

Structure

Single-doctor practice, Dr. Volland at every visit, consultation through final follow-up.

Full-arch pricing

$15,000 per arch, all-inclusive and published. Final zirconia included as standard, not a premium upgrade.

Consultation

Complimentary for full-arch cases; paid, with referral, for other procedures.

Scope

Full OMS scope including zygomatic implants for severe upper-jaw bone loss, the cases others refer out.

Lab work

In-house milling for a same-day provisional, with faster adjustments.

Tacoma's established practices deliver capable care and have served the area well for years. The structural differences at Elite reflect different business choices rather than differences in clinical competence. This comparison is only meant to make the choice transparent.
Flagship, Full-Arch Implants

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 complete scope
All-on-6 Dental Implants
Same $15,000 price

Six implants per arch instead of four, selected for strong bite forces, bruxism, a larger jaw structure, or specific anatomy where the extra support is biomechanically warranted. The choice between All-on-4 and All-on-6 is a clinical decision made after 3D imaging, not a price tier. At Elite the two are priced identically, so the recommendation reflects your case rather than revenue. Many programs charge a premium for the additional implants; that markup does not exist here.

Zygomatic Implants
Second opinion for severe atrophy

For severe upper-jaw bone loss, typically after years of denture wear, patients sometimes told elsewhere they “aren’t candidates” without months of grafting. Longer implants anchor in the cheekbone rather than the resorbed jaw, avoiding sinus lifts and grafting that would otherwise add 6–9 months. For Tacoma patients seeking a second opinion on candidacy, this is one of the most common reasons to make the drive.

Full Mouth Dental Implants
The broader research term

The broad consumer term for replacing all teeth in one or both jaws with implant-supported bridges. It overlaps completely with All-on-4, All-on-X, and full-arch implants, the same procedure described differently, and resolves to the same protocol from your 3D imaging. Some Tacoma patients research under “full mouth”; others use “All-on-4” interchangeably. Both lead to the same clinical evaluation.

Teeth in a Day
Honestly explained

Patients do leave surgery with fixed teeth. What varies is how clearly practices distinguish the provisional from the final restoration. Osseointegration takes 4 to 6 months regardless of what is delivered on day one, so the same-day bridge is a provisional. Elite delivers a same-day printed PMMA provisional, then the final zirconia at week 10 to 12 once integration is confirmed.

Learn more
Single Dental Implants
For individual teeth

A permanent replacement for one or several missing teeth, without compromising the neighboring teeth the way a bridge does. We place the implant surgically; your Tacoma general dentist can complete the crown, and we coordinate the hand-off and records with their office. A referral is typically requested.

Learn more
Surgical Extractions
Beyond a GP's scope

Complex and impacted extractions beyond what a general dentist typically performs, broken or fractured roots, ankylosed teeth, teeth close to the nerve, and anxious patients needing sedation, in a controlled surgical environment with the training to manage complications.

Learn more
IV Sedation & Anesthesia
In-house, hospital-trained

From nitrous oxide through full general anesthesia, delivered in-house by Dr. Volland under a Washington State General Anesthesia Permit. The sedation experience comes from a high-volume Naval surgical residency, and the same expertise that supports full-arch cases is available for routine procedures when anxiety or complexity calls for it.

Learn more
Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift
Foundation procedures

The foundation procedures that make implants possible after tooth loss, periodontal disease, or denture wear. Socket preservation maintains bone right after an extraction; a sinus lift rebuilds height in the upper-back jaw. Priced separately and in writing before any surgical date is set.

The Full-Arch Journey

Four visits over about twelve weeks.

The full-arch path from first consultation to final teeth, every step performed by Dr. Volland himself, sixteen minutes east of Tacoma on WA-410.

Placement & same-day teeth

Implants are placed under in-house IV sedation, and you go home the same day with a fixed provisional bridge milled in our in-house lab, the honest workflow, not “permanent teeth in 24 hours.” Schedule off-peak for an easy drive home on WA-410.

A sober adult driver is required regardless of distance; most patients arrange family, a friend, or a driver service. Soft diet for 6–8 weeks; most return to non-strenuous work in 3–5 days.

Week 08 · Try-In

Prototype try-in

A try-in to refine bite, esthetics, and speech before the final bridge is milled, the step chain “24-hour” marketing skips over. A short, non-surgical visit, easiest scheduled mid-morning or early afternoon.

Non-surgical appointment. About 90 minutes. Bring a second opinion if you would like one.

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.

Full diet typically resumes within 1–2 weeks. Follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months are a sixteen-minute drive, shorter than most Tacoma specialty appointments.

Getting Here

You’ve made longer drives for less.

From most Tacoma neighborhoods you’re at the office in 16–22 minutes, on highway via WA-410, predictable, familiar, and shorter than crossing Tacoma itself. If you’ve ever driven to Federal Way for shopping, Auburn for an appointment, or Sumner for the fair, you’ve already made this drive. Our office is in the Bonney Lake commercial district with dedicated on-site parking and no fees.

Route 01 · Most Direct
16–22 min

I-5 S → WA-512 E → WA-410 E

From central or north Tacoma, I-5 South to WA-512 East, then WA-410 East directly to Bonney Lake. Light off-peak; moderate during commute hours but still reasonable. The most common Tacoma route.

Route 02 · From West Tacoma
22–28 min

WA-16 → I-5 S → WA-167 → WA-410

From University Place, Fircrest, or west-side neighborhoods, WA-16 East to I-5 South, then WA-167 South to WA-410 East. Slightly longer routing but better for west-side starting points.

Surgery days under IV sedation: you’ll need a sober adult driver to bring you home, required for IV sedation regardless of distance. The sixteen-minute drive home from Bonney Lake is no different logistically than a drive from a Tacoma practice.

Tacoma Patient Questions

Questions patients actually ask.

The practical questions Tacoma residents ask before scheduling a first consultation.

I have not heard of Elite. Is the practice open?

Elite Oral Surgery opens in April 2027 in Bonney Lake, and the facility is in buildout now. Consultations can be scheduled in advance of opening. The practice is new, which is why the name is unfamiliar, but Dr. Volland is not new to oral surgery. He is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, with eight years of active-duty Naval service including residency at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth.

Is the $15,000 full-arch price real, or is something being cut to achieve it?

It is real and all-inclusive, and it does not come from reducing clinical quality. Same titanium implants from major manufacturers, same zirconia from established labs, same peer-reviewed techniques, same permit-authorized IV sedation. The savings are structural: Bonney Lake commercial costs are a fraction of Tacoma's, a single-doctor model carries less overhead, full-arch is the primary focus, and there is no DSO or corporate parent taking a share. Included: surgery, IV sedation, same-day provisional, week-8 try-in, final zirconia, standard imaging, and follow-ups. Priced separately: bone grafting and zygomatic implants when clinically required, quoted in writing before any surgical date.

Can I come to Elite just for wisdom teeth?

Yes. Wisdom teeth removal is a routine part of the practice. Single-session removal of all four impacted teeth under in-house IV sedation is the standard approach unless there is a clinical reason to do otherwise. Dr. Volland personally performs the procedure and conducts your follow-up. A referral from your general dentist is requested for wisdom teeth cases, and your dentist can refer here as easily as to any other regional OMS practice.

Will I see Dr. Volland personally at every visit?

Yes, at every visit. There is one surgeon at Elite, and that surgeon performs your consultation, surgery, every prototype try-in, the final delivery, and every follow-up. No partner and no rotating provider. For complex full-arch cases that continuity has clinical value, since the surgeon who placed your implants is the one evaluating your healing.

Do you accept dental insurance?

Yes. We verify your dental benefits before treatment and provide a written estimate of patient responsibility. For full-arch cases, dental insurance typically provides limited coverage, since most plans cap major procedures well below the cost of treatment. For wisdom teeth, single implants, and other procedures, coverage is usually more substantial. HSA and FSA funds are eligible for all procedures, and five financing partners can spread payment across months.

Can my Tacoma general dentist refer me to Elite?

Yes. We accept referrals from any general dentist regardless of location. Your dentist sends a referral with imaging and clinical notes, and our office contacts you to schedule. For full-arch implant consultations, no referral is required and consultations are complimentary. For other procedures, a referral is requested.

How long is the drive from Tacoma to Elite Oral Surgery?

The practice is at 9907 205th Ave E in Bonney Lake, roughly 16 miles and 16 to 22 minutes from most Tacoma neighborhoods. From central or north Tacoma, I-5 South to WA-512 East to WA-410 East is the most direct route. From University Place, Fircrest, and the west side, WA-16 East to I-5 South to WA-167 South to WA-410 East takes 22 to 28 minutes. Free on-site parking is available.

Can I drive myself home to Tacoma after surgery?

Not if you receive IV sedation. You will need a sober adult driver to bring you home, regardless of distance. This is the same requirement you would face at any Tacoma-area practice. For procedures done with local anesthetic only, most patients can drive themselves.

Opening April 2027

Sixteen minutes, and then you’ll see why.

For full-arch implants, the consultation is complimentary, including 3D imaging and a written treatment plan with itemized pricing. For other procedures, a paid consultation and a referral from your general dentist are requested. In either case, you’ll meet Dr. Volland personally and find out whether what we offer is what you’ve been looking for. No obligation.
