What happens at a full-arch consultation?

Reviewed by Dr. L. Eric Pulver, DDS, FRCD(C), board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon · Updated October 2026

A full-arch consultation at Implanted Wisdom at Pulver Oral Surgery is a visit to find out whether fixed implant teeth are right for you and what your treatment would involve. The consultation is free and takes about 20 minutes. You'll meet Dr. Pulver, talk through your goals, and leave with a clear picture of your options before deciding anything.

What to expect

1. Conversation about your goals. What's bothering you about your teeth or dentures, and what you want your new smile to do.
2. Health review. Your medical history and medications, so any plan is safe for you.
3. Your options explained. Board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Eric Pulver tells you what he would recommend and why, including the tradeoffs of each option.
4. Your recommendation and cost. Under his Patient-Specific Protocol™, you hear what your treatment would involve and what it would cost, with time to ask questions and think it over.
