Payment Plans for Dental Implants in Butler, PA | Affordable Care

“Want to make God laugh? Make a plan!” This common phrase often refers to the idea that we can plan all we want, but usually, we don’t get to decide what happens. Even the best planned wedding can’t control the weather, and trying to plan a family vacation rarely goes off without a hitch. But what about the things you can plan for? When buying something you may not be able to afford out of pocket, you can often rely on a payment plan to break down your cost into manageable monthly payments! These plans are easy to understand and help make things like dental care more affordable. At Brockley Dental Center, we offer payment plans for dental implants, allowing patients like you to restore their smiles even on a budget!

What Are Dental Implants?

Payment Plans for Dental Implants in Butler, PA | Affordable Implant CrownsDental implants are titanium screws that we secure in your jawbone to replace missing teeth.

Because titanium is a biocompatible material, it interacts well with living bone. Over time, the titanium metal will bond with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, forming an incredibly stable connection.

Once secure, dental implants anchor artificial teeth restorations in your jaw to restore your smile!

These restorations include:

  • Dental crowns: These tooth-shaped caps replace a single missing tooth, securing directly on your implant. Dental crowns are made to match the rest of your smile perfectly, blending in to create a seamless appearance.
  • Dental bridges: When multiple teeth are missing in a row, a dental bridge is a great option for replacement. These crowns (called pontics) are fused together to make a row of teeth that bridges the gap in your smile, allowing for effective chewing.
  • Implant dentures: Traditional dentures are often the go-to replacement when missing all of your teeth. However, these prosthetics typically lack stability, which creates difficulties with chewing and speaking. Fortunately, dental implants help secure these restorations, providing a stable smile.

How Mini Dental Implants Are More Affordable

Unfortunately, dental implants are often considered expensive, causing patients to hesitate to replace missing teeth.

However, at Brockley Dental Center, we utilize mini dental implants instead of conventional dental implants! These titanium posts are much smaller in diameter, less than 3 millimeters, and feature a sleek single-piece design.

We use mini implants because they provide a whole host of benefits, including cost-effective advantages like:

  • Fewer components: Conventional dental implants have multiple pieces held together with an implant screw. Each of these components has its own cost, making dental implants relatively expensive. Fortunately, mini implants have a single-piece structure, so you only have one component to pay for.
  • Fewer appointments: With a one-piece design, mini implants require only one placement appointment, saving you both time and money!
  • Fewer additional procedures: Conventional dental implants require ample jaw structure to stabilize, which many patients lack. This often forces patients to undergo additional procedures, such as bone grafts or sinus lifts, to rebuild lost bone. However, these procedures add to the cost and length of your implant process. Fortunately, mini implants secure even in minimal bone, significantly reducing the need for additional procedures.

Donald B. Brockley, DMD

Dr. Brockley earned his doctorate degree in Dental Medicine from the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine in 1972. He is a second generation dentist and a legacy of the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine where his father, Dr. Charles R. Brockley earned his doctorate in general dentistry in the year 1927. While attending the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine, he held the office of Class Secretary for his graduating class. Following dental school, he chose to do his residency training at Wilmington Medical Center in Wilmington, Delaware, with a focus on research. Upon completing his residency, Dr. Brockley enlisted in the Navy during the Vietnam War Era as a Naval Officer. Dr. Brockley opened his own private practice 1975 in Butler, PA a historic town just 34 miles north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Brockley held the office of President of the Butler County Dental Society. After many years of practice, Dr. Brockley realized that fear is the #1 reason why people do not visit their dentist regularly. Therefore, he made it his mission to find an alternative way to practice (and to help his patients overcome this fear). This alternative was through Sedation Dentistry. In 1996 he became trained in Conscious Oral Sedation. This technique allowed him to treat fearful patients by gently putting them to sleep with the aid of a pill, not needle IV sedation which was the popular treatment at that time. Dr. Brockley received his dental training at the following institutions: University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA Tufts University, School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA University of North Carolina, School of Dentistry, Raleigh, NC Mini Dental Implant Training Centre, Buffalo, NY. Due to the high number of patients who are diabetic in his practice, his next goal was to understand the impact of Diabetes in Dentistry. Due to the subset of Diabetic patients in his practice who had similar recurring oral and systemic health problems, special attention became warranted. This led to a different standard of care and treatment for patients whose health was compromised by diabetes. Early detection, observation, evaluation and treatment to eradicate infection plays a major role in maintaining oral health for diabetic patients. Poorly managed treatment for diabetic patients has been shown to lead to a higher risk of uncontrolled gum disease and vice versa, making prevention of gum disease the #1 priority for this subset of patients. Dr. Brockley’s research on dentistry for diabetics led him to his next specialization: the treatment and eradication of gum disease. His aim has been to change the the treatment of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. For this reason, he designed a radically different protocol to the Soft Tissue Management (STM) program. STM treats the symptoms of gum disease, and more importantly, the underlying cause of gum disease, bacteria. Studies have shown that gum disease affects 80% of American adults. However, Dr. Brockley has observed that more than 90% of his baby boomer patients have gum disease. His unique STM protocol has shown significant success within his patient population. With patient knowledge, understanding, and cooperation, Dr. Brockley is able to arrest and manage gum disease in his practice. After perfecting his procedures for crowns, bridges, partials and dentures to replace missing teeth, the introduction of Small Diameter Implants (also known as SDI or Mini Dental Implants) into his practice has revolutionized the way Dr. Brockley practices cosmetic dentistry. Small Diameter Implants provide the possibility of full mouth restoration, multiple teeth restoration, or single tooth restoration. Small Diameter Implants can be implemented in all types of tooth and bone conditions, in all ages, and in all types of health conditions. Dr. Brockley uses Small Diameter Implants to restore chewing ability and create beautiful smiles, which ultimately changes peoples’ lives. Dr. Brockley is the proud owner and operator of the first Mini Dental Implant Center of America in the Greater Pittsburgh area. Dr. Brockley has achieved Diplomate status in the International Academy of Mini Dental Implants. He is the President Emeritus of the Butler County Dental Society. Dr. Brockley was also a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Dental Corps. He is a a lifetime member of the Delta Sigma Dental Fraternity, and he was the Class Secretary for the University of Pittsburgh Dental School. Dr. Brockley likes to spend time with his family at home or while traveling, has been an avid scuba diver since 1980, and describes himself as a “just okay” golfer.
