Real 5-Star Reviews "Thanks Dr. Kelly and Staff! You're Truly the Best!"
I always used to get really scared and anxious when it came to dentists. Dr. Kelly and his entire staff have changed that forever. Everyone is so genuinely welcoming and professional it is hard to believe I am in a dentist office. I highly recommend you come give them a shot, they are sure to win you over! Thank you Dr. Kelly, Lori & Melissa!
View On GoogleThe thought of having something screwed into my jaw just curdled my blood. Dr. Kelly has been my dentist for years now, so when he said yes, this was the best procedure, I trusted him implicitly. When he said the procedure wasn't that bad, I trusted him . . . but admittedly I was still terrified. So, I had the proceed done a few weeks ago now and I must admit - it wasn't too bad at all! Certainly easier that a root canal. Needless to say I was VERY relieved. Dr. Kelly and his warm and caring, professional staff came through for me once again. Thanks Dr. Kelly and staff! You're truly the best!!
View On GoogleWhat Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are ultra-strong titanium rods that act as artificial tooth roots. At our practice in Albuquerque, NM, Dr. Kelly is able to surgically place implants into your jawbone, where they can remain secured for the rest of your life.
Over the course of four to six months, titanium implants naturally fuse with your bone tissue. Then, they are able to support natural-looking, fully functional crowns, bridges, or dentures, bringing restored form and function to your smile.
What The Implant Procedure Looks Like
Let's Go Over The Procedure Timeline
Dr. Kelly will thoroughly discuss every step of the procedure with you so you know what to expect.
Does Surgery Make You Anxious? Relax with Safe Sedation Dentistry

Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is a harmless gas delivered through a mask. It provides a state of happy, deep relaxation, and yes, you might giggle a bit! Nitrous wears off quickly, meaning you can drive yourself home after resting in our comfortable Albuquerque office.
Oral Conscious Sedation
If you choose oral conscious sedation, Dr. Kelly will prescribe anti-anxiety pills to take before the procedure that will help you relax. Since you'll be a bit groggy, please have someone drive you to and from your appointment.
Cost and Insurance
- Dental implants cost around $1,200 to $1,400 each. This is only slightly higher than traditional dentures and is a worthy investment in your health and appearance.
- The final cost of your procedure depends on the number of implants and the kind of restorative teeth you need.
- Insurance coverage for dental implants can be complicated. Your medical or dental plan may partially cover some parts of the procedure but not others. Our team in Albuquerque, NM, can assist you in maximizing your insurance benefits.
