Book a free consultationElfers is in west Pasco County, beside New Port Richey, with US-19 carrying the traffic south. Dr. Moradian treats Elfers patients at Affordable Dentures and Implants in Tampa.
Making one trip do the work of two
Pasco is the far end of this list, so the appointments are worth batching. The consult and the scan can happen in one visit, and what comes out of them is a plan for the whole course of treatment rather than a date for the next appointment.
A cone beam CT scan shows a 3D image of your jaw’s anatomy. It settles where the bone can hold a fixture, how many implants a full arch needs, usually four to six, and where each one goes. Nothing surgical is scheduled before it exists.
What Elfers dental work covers
Implants where a tooth is gone. A fixed arch where most of a row is gone. Dentures, removable, for an arch or a run of teeth. Extractions, planned alongside whatever replaces the tooth, because leaving a gap lets the teeth beside it move into the space.
Where a tooth can be kept it is kept: a root canal takes the inflamed nerve out so the tooth itself can stay.
What happens after an extraction
The socket heals over weeks, and the bone underneath changes shape as it does. That is why the conversation about what replaces the tooth happens at the same time as the extraction rather than afterward. An implant may be placed later, once the site has settled, but the decision to have one is better made while the options are all still open.

Elfers dental questions
Can appointments be batched to cut the number of trips?
The consult and the scan are usually done in one visit for patients travelling in, and the plan that comes out of them sets the rest of the schedule in advance.
