Schedule ConsultationLake Tapps is a community where people are accustomed to knowing what good looks like — in restaurants, in homes, in healthcare, in the way services are delivered. Many Lake Tapps residents have historically driven to Tacoma, Bellevue, or Seattle for specialty care that meets a certain standard, accepting the drive as the cost of access.
Elite Oral Surgery is built specifically to be that standard of practice — single-doctor, full surgical scope, transparent published pricing, and a patient experience designed for the kind of care decisions Lake Tapps residents take seriously. The fact that it happens to be seven minutes from your house is incidental to the quality of the practice; it's just a happy geographic coincidence that the kind of specialty practice you'd drive to Bellevue for is now in Bonney Lake.
For most specialty care decisions worth making well, geographic convenience is usually the wrong variable to optimize for. The right surgeon, the right pricing structure, and the right practice model matter much more than how close the office is to home.
What's nice about Elite for Lake Tapps residents is that you don't have to choose. The practice is structured around the things that actually matter for full-arch implants and complex oral surgery — and it's located closer to you than most chain stores.
Structural advantages that distinguish Elite from the larger group practices and chain implant centers Lake Tapps residents have historically traveled to.
$15,000 per arch — surgery, IV sedation, same-day printed PMMA provisional, prototype try-in, and the final zirconia bridge included. Posted publicly. The practices Lake Tapps residents historically traveled to typically don't publish full-arch pricing, with patient-reported quotes commonly running $25,000-$50,000 per arch. Transparent pricing is unusual in this market — particularly at the higher end Lake Tapps residents have been accustomed to comparing.
Most large multi-specialist practices Lake Tapps residents have driven to operate with rotating providers — a different doctor for consultation, surgery, prosthodontics, and follow-up. Elite is a single-doctor practice. Dr. Volland personally performs every consultation, surgery, prototype try-in, final delivery, and follow-up. For complex care decisions, that continuity is rare and valuable.
Patients with severe maxillary atrophy who've been told they need extensive grafting — or that they're not candidates for full-arch implants — are often candidates with remote anchorage protocols. Zygomatic implants and the PATZI sequence aren't standard at most practices Lake Tapps patients have driven to. Combined with the full traditional OMS scope, the practice handles cases other offices have to refer out.
What's structurally interesting is that Lake Tapps residents don't have to choose between geographic convenience and the kind of practice they were driving to find. Elite is structured around delivering full-arch implant therapy, complex OMS care, and a single-doctor relationship at the level patients have traveled to access — and it happens to be a short drive from Lake Tapps. Both things at once.
If you're a Lake Tapps resident, Bonney Lake is the commercial district you use most. The Walmart, Safeway, Fred Meyer, and the SR-410 retail corridor are all in Bonney Lake. Sumner is two minutes farther, and beyond that, Auburn and Puyallup. The geographic life of Lake Tapps wraps around the SR-410 corridor; Elite Oral Surgery is in the middle of it.
What this means practically: the drive to your oral surgery appointments is the same drive you'd make for a routine errand. Surgery day still requires a driver (IV sedation universally requires that), but routine consultations, follow-ups, and treatment-planning visits fit easily into the rhythm of daily life rather than requiring you to clear a half-day for them.
For Lake Tapps residents accustomed to driving to Tacoma or Seattle for specialty care that requires significant time blocking, this is a meaningful change in how complex healthcare fits into your schedule.

Learn More →For full-arch implant therapy specifically, the answer is consistently yes — and often structurally better. Elite is independently owned (not a chain network or DSO-managed practice), single-doctor, and publishes a flat $15,000 per arch all-inclusive price that's lower than most Bellevue and Seattle quotes. Dr. Volland is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, with eight years of active-duty Naval service including residency at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. The clinical credentials and outcomes are comparable to any high-end specialty practice in the region.
For other procedures — wisdom teeth, single implants, routine extractions — the difference is less pronounced; competent OMS practices anywhere in the South Sound deliver similar outcomes for these procedures. Where Elite's structural advantages compound is full-arch implant cases, complex remote-anchorage cases, and patients seeking a single-doctor relationship through extended treatment.
For full-arch implants, the typical Bellevue or Seattle market range is $30,000-$50,000 per arch with zirconia. ClearChoice locations typically run $20,000-$35,000 per arch. Elite publishes $15,000 per arch all-inclusive. The price differential is meaningful — $15,000-$35,000 in savings on a single arch — and not the result of cutting clinical quality. The structural reasons are geographic (Bonney Lake commercial costs are a fraction of Bellevue/Seattle), operational (single-doctor versus multi-specialist team overhead), and ownership-structure-based (independent owner-operator without DSO management fees).
For most other procedures, pricing is closer to comparable across competent practices — though Elite's all-inclusive structure for any procedure where it applies still tends to result in lower out-of-pocket costs than itemized Seattle-market pricing.
You'll see Dr. Volland personally 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 visit. No partner. No rotating provider. No associates seeing patients on the surgeon's behalf.
This is intentionally different from large group practices — and from chain implant centers, which typically operate with a multi-specialist team where the surgeon you meet at consultation may not be the surgeon performing your procedure.
The Elite Oral Surgery facility is 4,500 square feet in the Bonney Lake commercial district. The building includes five operatories (three active initially), comprehensive sterile processing, an in-house lab with milling capabilities, and a separate event space used for continuing education events with referring dentists. The patient experience environment is designed for the more involved appointments full-arch implant cases require — comfortable consultation rooms, modern imaging, and operatories built for long sedation cases.
Scheduling tends to be flexible for established patients, and the single-doctor model means appointment continuity is straightforward. Most full-arch cases are handled with a four-visit cadence over 12 weeks, with follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months built into the all-inclusive price.
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, medical insurance often provides meaningfully more coverage than dental insurance — most dental plans cap major procedures at $1,000-$3,000 lifetime, while medical insurance may cover substantial portions of full-arch treatment when the case qualifies as medically necessary. Our office handles verification across both. See our insurance page for verification details.
HSA and FSA funds are eligible for all our procedures and effectively reduce your out-of-pocket cost by your marginal tax rate.
Yes, and we encourage it. Your general dentist remains responsible for your routine cleanings, hygiene maintenance, and any non-surgical dental work. We coordinate with referring dentists and provide treatment summaries for their records. Many Lake Tapps general dentists have established referral relationships with other specialty practices in the region; adding Elite as a referral option doesn't change your relationship with your general dentist — it just gives you a closer specialty option for surgical care.
For Lake Tapps residents, post-operative care is geographically straightforward — follow-up visits are the same seven-minute drive as initial visits. For complications that require same-day evaluation, we make every effort to see established patients that day. For true emergencies, the nearest emergency departments include MultiCare Good Samaritan in Puyallup and St. Anthony Hospital in Gig Harbor; both are equipped to manage post-operative oral surgical issues.
The geographic proximity to your home is one of the practical benefits of Lake Tapps residents using Elite — recovery happens at home, follow-ups don't disrupt your week, and we're closer than emergency facilities you'd use anyway.
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 seven minutes from your house all along.
