Dental Implants for Dallas Patients at Forte in Plano
4.9★ from 450+ Google reviews · Free consultation + 3D scan
Dallas is a large starting point for any drive estimate, so it is useful to be clear about where Forte's implant care takes place. The public Implant Center is in Plano, at 424 Maplelawn Dr. Dallas patients visit that office for consultations, 3D imaging, surgery, restoration, and the in-house laboratory. This is not a description of a second public implant surgery location in Dallas.
Dr. Lee Fitzgerald coordinates care from consultation to final teeth. The first consultation and 3D CT scan are free, giving you a place to discuss one missing tooth, a loose denture, or a possible full-arch plan without choosing a procedure beforehand. The drive from Dallas is about 25–30 minutes via US-75 or the Dallas North Tollway, depending on your starting point and traffic. There is also a separate resident-only care option at Highland Springs, explained below; implant surgery is done in Plano.
Dallas and Highland Springs: choosing the correct location
The Plano Implant Center is open to everyone. Highland Springs has a separate option for residents, with care by appointment in the Medical Specialty Suite at Crestview Terrace. If you live in that community, the Highland Springs page is the right place to begin learning about the resident service. It is not a general Dallas office for everyone seeking an implant consultation.
Implant surgery is performed at the Plano center. When you contact the team, state whether you are a Highland Springs resident so they can help clarify the location for the appointment you need. Distinguishing these two settings avoids confusion about where imaging, surgery, and laboratory care are coordinated. Dallas-area residents who are not using the resident-only option should plan their visit around the Plano street address.
Why patients drive from Dallas to Dr. Fitzgerald
For a patient comparing several Dallas-area options, the organization of treatment is worth asking about. At Forte, one doctor, Dr. Lee Fitzgerald, follows care from consultation through final teeth. The lab operates in the same Plano building. You can discuss how surgery and restoration are planned together, how materials are selected, and who explains the stages rather than treating those questions as unrelated parts of the process.
Dr. Fitzgerald teaches implant surgery to other dentists; his biography provides more background. Forte has a 4.9-star rating from 450+ Google reviews. The before-and-after gallery also shows actual cases. Neither a rating nor a photograph can decide your candidacy. Use them to learn about the practice and prepare questions, then rely on your own examination and the explanation of your written plan when considering treatment.
All-on-4 prices for Dallas patients
The published All-on-4 starting option is $15,500 per arch for nano-ceramic. Full zirconia is listed at $19,500 per arch, with a lifetime warranty on full zirconia arches only. Make sure a quote identifies upper teeth, lower teeth, or both, especially if you are researching full-mouth care. Those starting figures are not a personal total for every treatment need. Your exact price is given at the free consultation.
The dental implant cost page links the financing providers CareCredit, Proceed, and Happen, formerly LendingClub. Approval and terms are determined by the lender. Ask the practice to explain the recommendation and material first, then review the financing information separately. Comparing the scope of care is more meaningful than comparing a per-arch figure with a larger plan that may describe different work or a different material.
Getting to the Plano center from Dallas
Allow about 25–30 minutes from Dallas using US-75 or the Dallas North Tollway as the main route toward Plano. Follow current directions for the last part of the journey to 424 Maplelawn Dr, Plano, TX 75075. The city covers a wide area, and traffic can change the drive considerably. Check the route from your own address rather than treating the estimate as a guarantee from every part of Dallas.
Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 7am to 3pm. Before you travel, confirm the type of appointment and any instructions from the team. A free first consultation and a surgical visit have different practical needs. If treatment is recommended, ask about the preparation and transport arrangements for that specific appointment as part of your planning.
Dallas questions about the first implant assessment
Your concern may be smaller than a whole arch, or you may want a deeper explanation of full-mouth care. Bring that question to the free consultation and 3D scan. The All-on-4 guide can help you understand healing teeth and final teeth, but the approach and timing need to be confirmed for you individually. Call 972-612-7800 or use the booking button to begin the conversation without selecting a treatment in advance.
Questions, answered
Dallas questions about offices and implant planning
Is Forte's public implant surgery office in Dallas?
The public Implant Center is at 424 Maplelawn Dr in Plano. Dallas patients attend that location for coordinated implant care. The Highland Springs option is resident-only, and implant surgery for those residents is also completed at the Plano center.
Who can use the Highland Springs option in Dallas?
It is for Highland Springs residents, by appointment in the Medical Specialty Suite at Crestview Terrace. If that applies to you, start with the Highland Springs page or tell the team when calling. It is not a second public implant center.
Which Dallas route should I use for a consultation?
US-75 or the Dallas North Tollway may be suitable depending on your address. Use about 25–30 minutes as an approximation, then check traffic and directions to the exact Plano office. The time is not the same from every part of Dallas.
Can I discuss full-mouth care without committing at the Dallas-area visit?
Yes. The free consultation and 3D CT scan provide an opportunity to understand the recommendation. Ask whether treatment involves one arch or both, what material is proposed, and what your exact price would be before making a decision.
