Elite Oral Surgery and Dental Implants is in Bonney Lake — about 20 minutes from Edgewood via SR-410 East. Board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, single-doctor practice, full-arch dental implants at $15,000 per arch all-inclusive. For Edgewood residents historically driving to Tacoma or Federal Way for specialty oral surgical care, Elite offers a different option in the East Pierce County direction.
Schedule a Consultation →Edgewood sits at the northwest edge of Pierce County. Most Edgewood residents already drive SR-410 East regularly for shopping in Sumner, recreation at Lake Tapps, or trips toward Mount Rainier. Elite Oral Surgery is along that same familiar corridor.
Schedule ConsultationEdgewood residents researching oral and maxillofacial surgery typically consider options in Tacoma, Federal Way, or further north into Auburn and Renton. Elite Oral Surgery in Bonney Lake offers an alternative direction — about 20 minutes east via SR-410 — with structural advantages that distinguish it from the multi-surgeon group practices and chain implant centers in those other directions.
The practice is single-doctor (Dr. Volland personally performs every consultation, surgery, and follow-up), publishes flat $15,000 all-inclusive pricing for full-arch implants, and offers the full surgical scope including remote anchorage protocols for severe maxillary atrophy. For Edgewood residents, the structural advantages are real even at 20 minutes — and the price differential to Tacoma multi-provider practices and Federal Way chain centers typically more than offsets the additional drive time.
Structural advantages that distinguish Elite from the multi-provider practices and chain implant centers Edgewood residents would otherwise consider in Tacoma, Federal Way, or beyond.
$15,000 per arch — surgery, IV sedation, same-day printed PMMA provisional, prototype try-in, and the final zirconia bridge included. Posted publicly. Tacoma- and Auburn-area OMS practices typically don't publish full-arch pricing, with patient-reported quotes commonly running $25,000-$45,000 per arch. The price differential alone often justifies switching to Elite, before considering the shorter drive.
Most multi-surgeon group practices and chain implant centers Edgewood patients would consider operate with rotating providers — a different doctor for consultation, surgery, and follow-up. Elite is a single-doctor practice. Dr. Volland personally performs every consultation, surgery, prototype try-in, final delivery, and follow-up visit. For full-arch cases that span 12 weeks of treatment, that continuity is a structural advantage worth driving 20 minutes for.
Patients with severe maxillary atrophy who've been told they need extensive grafting — or that they're not candidates for full-arch implants at all — are often candidates with remote anchorage protocols. Zygomatic implants and the PATZI sequence aren't standard at most Pacific Northwest OMS practices; they're standard here. Edgewood patients seeking second opinions on candidacy after being turned away elsewhere frequently find Elite offers a different clinical answer.
About 20 minutes via SR-410 East. Not the closest option to Edgewood — Tacoma practices are closer — but the price differential to Tacoma multi-provider practices typically more than offsets the additional drive time. For full-arch cases at $25,000-$50,000 in Tacoma versus $15,000 at Elite, the math favors the longer drive substantially.
The route from Edgewood is straightforward: SR-410 East through Sumner to Bonney Lake. From most Edgewood neighborhoods, the drive is approximately 18-22 minutes depending on starting point and time of day. The corridor is highway, not local roads — predictable and consistent.
Edgewood residents already drive variations of this corridor for routine destinations — Sumner, Bonney Lake commercial areas, Lake Tapps, Mt. Rainier access. The drive to Elite Oral Surgery uses the same SR-410 East route, just a few minutes farther east than where most Edgewood residents typically end their trips.
For surgery days under IV sedation, you'll need a driver to bring you home — IV sedation universally requires a driver regardless of distance. Most Edgewood patients arrange a family member or friend; the 20-minute drive is well within range for that arrangement.
Every procedure offered at Elite is available to Edgewood-area patients — from routine wisdom teeth removal to the most complex full-arch implant cases.

Learn More →Edgewood sits in northwest Pierce County, surrounded by Tacoma to the west, Federal Way to the north, and Puyallup to the south — historically not thought of as part of the East Pierce County corridor. With Elite Oral Surgery in Bonney Lake, the calculation shifts: Edgewood patients are roughly 20 minutes east via SR-410, comparable to or shorter than the drive to specialty practices in Tacoma's downtown medical district or chain implant centers in Federal Way.
For Edgewood residents facing full-arch tooth loss, full-arch dental implants at Elite represent a different option than the chain implant centers and multi-provider practices in Tacoma and Federal Way that Edgewood patients have historically considered. Elite's primary clinical focus is full-arch reconstruction, with All-on-4, All-on-6, and zygomatic protocols available. The all-inclusive price is $15,000 per arch — typically $5,000-$35,000 less than what Edgewood patients are quoted at chain centers and South Sound multi-provider practices. The drive east on SR-410 is comparable to the drive to most Tacoma or Federal Way specialty practices; the cost savings and structural advantages of single-doctor independent practice are what make the trip worthwhile.
For most Edgewood patients researching All-on-4 dental implants, the protocol is the most-studied full-arch option with strong long-term data — 95%+ implant survival at 10 years. Edgewood's central position in northwest Pierce County means patients typically have multiple options within a 20-30 minute drive in any direction; the cost differential to Elite ($5,000-$35,000 per arch) is the meaningful factor that justifies the eastward drive over closer chain options.
All-on-6 dental implants use six implants per arch when biomechanics warrant additional support. At Elite, All-on-4 and All-on-6 are priced identically at $15,000 per arch. The recommendation between protocols is based on what your specific case requires, not on which option generates more revenue. Tacoma and Federal Way multi-provider practices typically charge $4,000-$8,000 more for All-on-6; the absence of that markup at Elite reflects the independent ownership structure rather than a quality difference in the implants or restoration.
Edgewood patients with severe maxillary atrophy who've been told they "aren't candidates" for full-arch implants without months of grafting may be candidates for zygomatic implants. The protocol anchors longer implants in the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the resorbed upper jaw, eliminating the 6-9 month grafting timeline. Zygomatic protocols aren't standard at most Pacific Northwest OMS practices — making Elite a meaningful second-opinion option for Edgewood patients who've been turned away at Tacoma or Federal Way practices.
"Full mouth dental implants" is the broader term most patients use when first researching the procedure. It overlaps with All-on-4, All-on-X, and full-arch implants — the underlying procedure is the same, described with different vocabulary. The clinical evaluation is identical regardless of which terminology you used to find the practice; the consultation typically converges on the same protocol selection based on 3D imaging.
For Edgewood patients missing one or several teeth, single dental implants are the modern alternative to bridges and removable partials. The implant integrates with the jawbone and supports a crown that functions and looks like a natural tooth. For patients referred by an Edgewood-area general dentist, Elite handles the surgical placement; the restoration crown is typically completed by your referring dentist. For Edgewood-area dentists who've historically referred to multiple OMS practices in different directions (north to Federal Way, west to Tacoma, south to Puyallup), Elite represents a single consistent surgical referral resource.
For Edgewood families with teenagers or young adults — Puyallup School District families (which includes much of Edgewood), or those at Pierce College or the University of Washington Tacoma — wisdom teeth removal at Elite is performed in a controlled surgical environment with in-house IV sedation. Most cases involve removal of all four third molars in a single 60-minute session under IV sedation, with most patients returning to school or normal activities within 5-7 days. Referral from your general dentist is requested.
For Edgewood patients facing oral surgery who prefer or require IV sedation, Elite provides in-house IV sedation administered by Dr. Volland under Washington State General Anesthesia Permit. Sedation training comes from Dr. Volland's Naval residency at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. You'll need a sober adult driver to take you home — IV sedation universally requires this regardless of distance, even for the 20-minute drive on SR-410.
For Edgewood-area general dentists encountering complex extractions — broken teeth at the gumline, fractured roots, ankylosed teeth, or anxious patients requiring sedation — referral to Elite for surgical extractions provides a controlled surgical environment with appropriate instrumentation and IV sedation availability. Edgewood-area dentists who've historically split referrals between Tacoma, Federal Way, and Puyallup OMS practices may find Elite a more consistent referral relationship — single doctor, established communication patterns.
For Edgewood patients whose bone volume isn't adequate for immediate implant placement, bone grafting rebuilds the foundation. The most common application is socket preservation immediately after extraction — preserving bone volume around the extraction site to maintain neighboring teeth stability and (when relevant) preserve options for future implant placement. Sinus lifts rebuild bone height in the upper-back areas where the maxillary sinus has expanded into space previously occupied by tooth roots. Both procedures are commonly performed at Elite as part of broader treatment plans.
For Edgewood patients comparing Elite to Tacoma, Federal Way, or Puyallup practices, our Comparing Full Arch Options page provides a six-question evaluation framework that applies to any practice you're considering.
Structurally, yes. Elite is single-doctor (most Tacoma- and Auburn-area OMS practices are multi-surgeon groups), publishes a flat $15,000 per arch all-inclusive full-arch price (most don't publish), offers in-house milling for same-day provisional teeth (most rely entirely on external labs), and provides the full OMS scope including zygomatic implants and remote anchorage protocols (which many practices refer out).
Clinical competence is comparable across board-certified OMS practices in the South Sound region. The differences with Elite are about practice model and pricing structure, not clinical quality. For Edgewood residents — particularly for full-arch implant cases — the structural advantages combined with the price differential typically justify the 20-minute drive over closer multi-provider practices in Tacoma or Federal Way.
For full-arch implant cases, Elite publishes $15,000 per arch all-inclusive — including the final zirconia bridge. Tacoma- and Auburn-area OMS practices typically don't publish full-arch pricing publicly; quotes are provided after paid consultation, and patient-reported pricing in those areas commonly runs $25,000-$45,000 per arch with zirconia frequently positioned as a premium upgrade.
For other procedures (wisdom teeth, single implants, extractions), pricing is more comparable across competent practices — though Elite's all-inclusive structure and in-network status with most major dental carriers tends to result in lower predictable out-of-pocket costs.
Yes — at every visit. This is the structural difference between Elite and most multi-surgeon practices: there is one surgeon at Elite, and that surgeon performs your consultation, your surgery, every prototype try-in (for full-arch cases), the final delivery, and every follow-up. No partner. No rotating provider.
Yes. We accept referrals from any general dentist, regardless of geographic location. Most Edgewood-area general dentists already refer some cases to oral surgeons in Tacoma or Federal Way; adding Elite simply gives them another specialty referral option in the East Pierce County direction. For wisdom teeth, single implants, surgical extractions, and other procedures, a referral from your general dentist is requested. For full-arch implant consultations, no referral is required and consultations are complimentary.
Elite Oral Surgery is in-network with most major dental insurance carriers. We verify your specific dental insurance benefits before treatment and provide a written estimate of patient responsibility. For full-arch cases, dental insurance typically provides limited coverage, but medical insurance may cover meaningful portions of treatment when the case qualifies as medically necessary — see our insurance page for verification options. HSA and FSA funds are eligible for all our procedures.
For true emergencies (significant facial trauma, severe acute infection, uncontrolled bleeding), the nearest emergency departments include MultiCare Good Samaritan in Puyallup and St. Anthony Hospital in Gig Harbor. For urgent but non-emergency situations, our office line provides same-day or next-day guidance, and we make every effort to evaluate established patients who develop post-operative concerns. The eight-minute drive applies to follow-ups; emergency care uses local resources, just as it would regardless of where your surgical practice is located.
Elite Oral Surgery and Dental Implants opens in February 2027 in Bonney Lake. The facility is in the buildout phase as of the date you're reading this page. Consultations can be scheduled in advance of opening; surgical scheduling for patients beginning treatment in early 2027 is starting to fill in.
If you're researching options for full-arch implants or planning surgical care, we recommend scheduling a consultation now even if your treatment timeline extends a few months. The Founders pricing for the first 40 surgical patients fills based on consultation date, not solely on procedure date.
For full-arch implants, the consultation is complimentary — including 3D imaging and a written treatment plan with itemized pricing. For other procedures, a paid consultation and referral from your general dentist are requested. In either case, you'll meet with Dr. Volland personally and find out what kind of practice has been the next town over all along.
