I was a patient of another dentist who was unavailable, and had a dental emergency. I got an appointment within a few hours on the same day, the staff was very supportive and helpful, and Dr Sigmon was professional and thoughtful. They helped me with a very difficult situation, and more reasonable with the out-of-pocket! They actually made me think about switching dentists ..

I had a great first visit at Compass Dental! Staff is very friendly and Dr. Sigmon is fantastic. He explained everything about my oral health to me and I left with no questions!!

If I could give zero stars I would! I heard good things about this guy, Ryan Sigmon, how great he was. So my family and I decided to see for ourselves. After a couple visits I began to realize all he wanted to to was conduct some type of procedures on my teeth or my husband and our children. I literally had a cavity filled one week then had my 6 month cleaning within the next few weeks only for him to suggest something else... seriously! I have went to the dentist my entire life, I have always taken my children to the dentist and have NEVER had this many issues until Ryan Sigmon began treating us. My opinion is that he is money hungry, he wants to constantly be doing something to keep you coming back time after time. I have spoken with others who also go to Compass dental only for them to tell me the same thing but they state they had never really thought about it but now that I mentioned it... Sadly some of the work he has completed on myself, my husband and my daughter, we all three continue to have issues (pain or sensitivity) related to his work, when a follow up appointment was made and my husband for example went back to try and correct the issue with what was causing him pain - pain that he did not have prior to the treatment with Mr. Sigmon - well Sigmon didn't want to fix it, told my husband he wasn't sure but maybe he needed yet another procedure! We thought, of course he does... it literally was always something! So seek treatment here at your own risk, Sigmon will make a dent in your wallet that's for sure, paying for unnecessary procedures, even with insurance! This dentist office is a joke! Seen a different dentist, no problems - how about that :)

The cost of implants varies depending on what the implant will be supporting (whether dentures, crowns, or bridge) and how much available bone is present. Assuming good bone, a standard implant will cost approx $4500. This includes the surgical placement of the titanium implant fixture "screw" and the final porcelain tooth colored crown which attaches on top of the implant fixture. As far as pain is concerned, most of our patients report no pain at all during the procedure and a mild discomfort afterwards which can be controlled by Tylenol or Advil.
"screwed in teeth" are actually called dental implants. They are placed in the upper and/or lower jaw and then denture like teeth are either snapped to them or a metal framework is screwed into them and then teeth are built on that framework. They work similar to a wall anchor you use in your home to hang artwork. The process for getting implants starts with a comprehensive evaluation to see what existing teeth you have and the quality of the jaw bone underneath. This usually includes a CBCT scan (3D scan) of you jaws to further evaluate the bone quantity and quality. If we are doing a full mouth of dental implants, the procedure consists of putting you to sleep, removing existing teeth, placing a surgical guide and then placing the implants (a minimum of 4 on top and 4 on bottom). Temporary teeth are then placed while the implants "integrate" for 6 months. Finally, after healing, molds of your mouth are made and, either "snap-in" or "screw-in" teeth are fabricated by or laboratory.
