This is the single largest price gap between Oklahoma City and the high-fee states, and it is the case type most out-of-state patients come here for. The quote covers surgical planning, the implants, the provisional fixed bridge and the definitive bridge for one arch. Both arches can be staged in the same trip pair when the clinical picture allows it.
The fee covers
- CBCT scan, facial scan and guided surgical plan
- Implants required for the arch, typically four to six
- Extractions of the remaining teeth in that arch
- Fixed provisional bridge delivered the same trip
- Definitive bridge on the second trip
- Post-operative reviews across both trips
Quoted separately
- Zygomatic implants, if the bone picture requires them
- The opposing arch, quoted separately
- Sedation beyond in-clinic IV sedation, if requested
- Flights, hotel and ground transport
Compared with California, where the same case is estimated at $31,720, this works out 55% lower once travel is paid.
What actually happens, in the order it happens.
2 trips, 5 nights in Oklahoma City in total. Nothing on this list is scheduled until a written fee has been agreed.
Trip one, day one
About 3 hours
CBCT, facial scan, medical review and a guided plan you review with Dr. Lorents before a surgical date is confirmed.
Trip one, days two and three
Full day, then review
Extractions, guided implant placement and delivery of the fixed provisional bridge. You leave with fixed teeth, not a denture.
Healing at home
16 to 20 weeks
Integration at home on the provisional bridge, with scheduled remote reviews and records shared with your local dentist.
Trip two
Three to four days
Final impressions, bridge try-in, definitive bridge delivery and bite refinement.
Who this suits, and who it does not.
Screening happens before you book a flight, not at the chair. If the case is wrong for this treatment you are told at the assessment stage, with an alternative.
A good fit
- A failing dentition with multiple untreatable teeth
- Long-term denture wearers who want something fixed
- Advanced periodontal disease across a whole arch
- Patients who have been quoted over 20,000 dollars per arch at home
Not a fit
- Patients who can still save the majority of their natural teeth
- Uncontrolled systemic disease affecting healing
- Anyone unwilling to commit to two separate trips

Your state figure is a modelled estimate, not a quote. The Oklahoma City figure is the published clinic fee. How these numbers are built.
Estimated net saving, travel included
1 arch of full-arch fixed bridge treatment in California is estimated at $31,720. The same treatment at Dental Art Center, with flights, hotel and ground transport counted, comes to $14,402.

Cheaper here does not mean lesser here.
The implant systems, the ceramics and the scanners are the same ones used by the practices charging twice as much. Five structural things make the invoice different, and none of them is the dentistry.
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.
