Meet Elite

The specialty practice Sumner residents have been driving farther to find.

Sumner residents have historically driven to Tacoma, Auburn, or beyond for specialty oral surgical care — particularly for full-arch dental implants and complex cases. Elite Oral Surgery in Bonney Lake changes that equation: an option closer than any of those previous destinations, with structural advantages that distinguish it from the multi-surgeon group practices and chain implant centers Sumner residents have driven to.

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 Sumner residents, that combination is now eight minutes away — closer than Auburn, much closer than Tacoma, and structurally different from what's available at any of those farther destinations.

Why Sumner Patients Choose Elite

Four reasons to skip the longer drive to Tacoma or Auburn.

Structural advantages that distinguish Elite from the practices Sumner residents have historically traveled to for oral surgical care.

Advantage 01
$15,000

Published, all-inclusive full-arch pricing.

$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.

Advantage 02
One Surgeon

The surgeon at consultation is the surgeon at every visit.

Most multi-surgeon group practices Sumner residents have driven to 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, not a marketing claim.

Advantage 03
Full Scope

Including remote anchorage and complex cases.

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. Sumner patients seeking second opinions on candidacy frequently find Elite is the practice that offers a different answer.

Advantage 04
8 Minutes

Genuinely the closest specialty option for most Sumner residents.

Eight minutes via SR-410. For most Sumner neighborhoods, no other oral and maxillofacial surgery practice is closer. The structural advantages above don't come with a geographic tradeoff — Elite is both the more specialized option and the closer option, which is unusual in the Pacific Northwest specialty care market.

For Sumner

The drive is the same one you already make.

Local Geography

SR-410 East — eight minutes from downtown Sumner.

The route is straightforward: SR-410 East directly from Sumner to Bonney Lake. From most Sumner neighborhoods, the drive is 8-12 minutes depending on starting point and time of day. The corridor is highway, not local roads — predictable and consistent.

Sumner residents already drive this corridor routinely — for shopping in Bonney Lake's commercial district, for trips to the Plateau, for Mt. Rainier and Crystal Mountain access. The drive to Elite Oral Surgery uses the same familiar route as those everyday 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 Sumner patients arrange a family member or friend; the geographic proximity makes that arrangement straightforward.

Sumner Patient Questions

Questions Sumner residents actually ask.

I've been driving to Tacoma or Auburn. Is Elite really that different?

+

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 differences in clinical quality. For most Sumner residents — particularly for full-arch implant cases — the structural advantages combined with the shorter drive make Elite the more practical choice.

How does Elite's pricing compare?

+

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.

Will I see Dr. Volland personally?

+

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.

Can my Sumner general dentist refer me to Elite?

+

Yes. We accept referrals from any general dentist, regardless of geographic location. Most Sumner-area general dentists already refer some cases to oral surgeons in the broader region; adding Elite simply gives them another specialty referral option that's now closer than the alternatives. 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.

What about insurance?

+

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.

What about emergencies?

+

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.

Is the practice actually open yet?

+

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.

Begin

Eight minutes east, then you'll see why.

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.
