One clinician owns the plan, start to finish.
Dental Art Center is a single-site practice in north-east Oklahoma City. Out-of-state patients are a large share of the surgical diary, which is why the scheduling, the records handover and the remote follow-up are built around them rather than bolted on.
Dr. Edward Lorents
Clinical Lead, Dental Art Center Oklahoma City
Dr. Lorents leads clinical protocol development, treatment planning review and provider training at Dental Art Center. His day-to-day work is split between complex aligner cases and implant restoration, and he personally reviews every treatment plan written for a patient flying in from another state.
12+ years of clear aligner work sits behind the Infinity Aligner protocol used here, and the same planning discipline is applied to implant and veneer cases: the outcome is designed and agreed before a single tooth is touched.
- Complex malocclusion and aligner biomechanics
- Implant placement and full-arch restoration
- Anterior aesthetic and veneer cases
- Treatment planning review for out-of-state patients
- Every plan reviewed by Dr. Lorents
- Written fee quote before you book a flight
- Digital records released to your home dentist
- Remote follow-up for out-of-state patients
Everything a travel case needs is under one roof.
Nothing in a two-trip plan can afford to wait on a courier. Imaging, guide printing, surgery and finishing all happen on site, and the ceramist is in the same city.
Imaging and planning
CBCT, intraoral scanning and facial scanning in-house, so surgical guides are designed and printed on site rather than outsourced and waited on.
Surgical suite
A dedicated surgical operatory for implant and full-arch work, separated from routine restorative rooms.
Restorative and finishing
Shade-matching under corrected lighting, with the ceramist reachable in the same city rather than in another time zone.
Published fees, not quoted on request.
A practice that will not publish a fee is usually pricing the patient rather than the procedure. These are the five structural reasons the number here is lower.

Commercial rent, not coastal rent
Clinical space on the north-east side of Oklahoma City costs a fraction of what the same square footage costs in Manhattan, Boston or West Los Angeles. That difference sits in the overhead line of every single fee a practice quotes, and it is the largest component of the gap.
The lab is in the same city
Ceramics are designed and finished locally rather than shipped out of state or overseas. Shorter turnaround means fewer temporary stages, fewer appointments, and no courier cost buried in the crown fee.
One clinician owns the plan
Dr. Lorents plans, places and restores. There is no referral fee between a surgeon and a restorative dentist, and no second consultation charged to hand the case over.
Trips are planned, not improvised
Out-of-state cases are scheduled in blocks so chair time is used fully. A predictable schedule costs less to run than a diary full of gaps, and that saving is reflected in the quote rather than kept.
No insurance billing department
Fees are published and paid directly. Practices that bill insurers carry administrative cost and inflate list prices to survive network discounts. A flat published fee does not need that padding.

Modelled gap on this case
$2,340 (39% less)
- A written fee range, not a starting-from figure
