Virtual Consultation

Have your case reviewed before you come in.

The practice opens April 2027 in Bonney Lake, WA — virtual consultations are available now to help you plan ahead. Send a few photos and a short description of your situation. Dr. Volland reviews it himself and writes back with what he sees, which treatment options are realistic for you, and what the next step would be. No office visit required to get started.

What it is

A specialist opinion, without the trip to Bonney Lake.

Some patients are two hours away. Some are early in the process. Some have already been quoted a plan and want a second surgeon to look at it. Dr. Volland reviews every submission himself and writes back in full.

Dr. Jonathan Volland, board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Bonney Lake, WA
What Dr. Volland sees
A plain reading of your photos: tooth condition, missing teeth, gum health, bite, and anything that stands out as a concern.
Which options are realistic
Whether you are likely a candidate for full-arch implants, single implants, or another route entirely, and what each would involve.
An honest sequence
What would need to happen first, in what order, and roughly how long the treatment would take.
A cost range
A ballpark figure based on what he can see, so you are not guessing. Exact pricing follows a CBCT scan and exam.
Photo guide

Five photos. Any phone will do.

Good light and a steady hand matter more than a good camera. Stand facing a window, wipe the lens, and ask someone to take them if you can. Match each example below.

Example photo: relaxed natural smile facing the camera
01
Relaxed smile
Facing the camera, smiling naturally. Show as much of your teeth as your smile normally shows.
Example photo: full wide smile showing gum line and teeth
02
Wide smile
The same angle, but a full smile. This shows how much gum and tooth is visible when you are at your most expressive.
Example photo: teeth biting together with lips retracted
03
Teeth together, lips retracted
Bite down and pull your lips back with your fingers or a cheek retractor. This one matters most.
Example photo: upper arch viewed from below with head tilted back
04
Upper arch
Head tilted back, camera looking up at your upper teeth.
Example photo: lower arch viewed from above with chin down
05
Lower arch
Chin down, camera looking down at your lower teeth.
Is this right for you

A virtual review answers a lot. It does not answer everything.

Start here if…

You are missing several teeth, or facing the loss of a full arch.
You wear a denture and want to know whether implants are possible.
You have been quoted a full-arch plan elsewhere and want a second opinion.
You live outside the immediate area and want clarity before making the drive.

Come in instead if…

You are in pain, have swelling, or think you have an infection. Call the office instead.
You need a firm price. That requires a CBCT scan and an exam.
Your case involves prior grafting, sinus involvement, or failed implants. Photos alone will not answer it.
Common Questions

Before you send anything in.

Does a virtual consultation cost anything?

No. There is no fee and no obligation to book anything afterward.

Who actually reviews my photos?

Dr. Volland. He reads every submission and writes the response himself. Our office handles scheduling, but the clinical opinion is his.

How long does it take to hear back?

Two business days in most cases. If your submission is missing something he needs, we will email you first to ask for it.

Can you tell me the exact price from photos?

No. He can give you a realistic range. A firm treatment quote requires a CBCT scan and an in-person exam, because bone volume is the factor that decides most full-arch plans.

Is my information private?

Yes. Submissions come in through a secure form, and your photos and details are stored and handled the same way as any other patient record in our system. They are never published, shared, or used in marketing without your separate written consent. If you would rather not upload photos through the website, call the office and we will arrange another way.

What if I cannot get all five photos?

Send what you can and note which ones you skipped. The retracted photo showing your teeth biting together is the one that matters most, so try hardest on that one. If Dr. Volland needs something specific he cannot see, we will email you and ask before he writes the full response.

What happens after I get the response?

Nothing, unless you want it to. If you would like to move forward, the email includes a link to book a consultation. If you would rather sit with it, that is fine.

Can you review my case if I live outside Washington?

Dr. Volland is licensed in Washington State, so a virtual review for an out-of-state patient is general educational information rather than a formal doctor-patient consultation. He is glad to look at your photos and tell you what he sees, but any actual treatment would need to happen in Washington. If you are planning to travel here for care, say so in the form and we will address travel and timeline in the response.

Is this the same as an in-person consultation?

No, and it is not meant to be. Photos show tooth condition, gum health, and bite relationships. They do not show bone volume, sinus position, or nerve location, which are the factors that determine what is surgically possible. A virtual review tells you whether you are in the right ballpark and what to expect. A CBCT scan and exam tell you what will actually happen.
