Editorial Standards: How We Write About Dental Implants

Dental implant information online is often written to sell first and inform second. This page explains the standards our own pages follow, so you can judge what you read here — and hold us to it.

What we will not publish

• Invented statistics, success rates, or study citations. Where a fact varies from patient to patient, we say so instead of quoting a number.
• Invented doctors, credentials, patients, or outcomes. A clinician is named on this site only after the practice has confirmed the name and credential.
• Reviews we cannot point to. Patient quotes come from public Google reviews of our offices, are attributed the way they appear there, and link back to the source. Each office's overall rating is the one Google shows.
• Offices we do not have. Pages for nearby communities always name the real office patients visit and state that there is no office in that community.

How we write about price

A price is only useful if you know what it includes. Our $699 dental implant offer covers the titanium implant post, the implant consultation exam, and X-rays; the CT scan, abutment, crown, and sedation are priced separately and quoted in writing before any treatment begins. Every page that mentions the offer states those terms next to the price, and an automated check blocks any page that does not. Other costs are never estimated on this site, because an honest total requires an exam and imaging — see what makes up the cost of a dental implant.

Financing is described as offered through third-party partners such as Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit, subject to credit approval. We do not quote rates or approval odds.

Medical review

Articles are general education, not advice for your mouth, and each one says so. When a licensed clinician has reviewed an article, it shows the reviewer's name and the review date. An article without that line has not had a clinical review yet — we leave the line off rather than imply one.

Health topics such as medications, diabetes, and gum disease are written to help you prepare questions for your dentist and physician. They never advise starting, stopping, or changing a medication.

Keeping pages current

Every article and page carries a review date. On or before that date we re-check its facts, links, and offer wording against the practice's current information, and the visible updated date changes only when the page does.

Corrections

If something on this site is wrong, out of date, or unclear, email info@699dentalimplants.com with the page address. We review every report and correct errors promptly. For questions about your own treatment, schedule a consultation instead — an exam answers what an article cannot.
