Elite Oral Surgery and Dental Implants is sixteen minutes east of Tacoma in Bonney Lake. Board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, single-doctor practice, full-arch dental implants at $15,000 per arch all-inclusive — including the final zirconia bridge. The kind of practice you'd hope existed and now does.

Schedule ConsultationElite Oral Surgery and Dental Implants opens in February 2027 in Bonney Lake — sixteen miles east of Tacoma, sixteen minutes via SR-410. The practice is built around four ideas that collectively don't exist at most Tacoma-area OMS practices: a single-doctor relationship with a board-certified specialist, transparent published pricing for full-arch implants, in-house milling for same-day provisional teeth, and the full surgical scope including remote anchorage protocols for patients with severe maxillary atrophy.
For Tacoma-area patients, this means an option that didn't exist before. Whether you're considering wisdom teeth removal, a single dental implant, or full-arch implant therapy — the practice is set up to deliver each at a level that Pacific Northwest patients haven't typically had access to. The 16-minute drive is the price of entry, and most Tacoma patients quickly discover it's a non-issue.
What follows is what makes Elite different from the Tacoma-area OMS practices you already know about — and why patients who try us tend to recommend us to others.
Structural advantages that change what your oral surgical experience looks like — and that don't exist at most established Tacoma-area OMS practices.
$15,000 per arch — surgery, IV sedation, same-day provisional, prototype try-in, and the final zirconia bridge included. Posted publicly. No upcharges for the materials that other practices treat as premium upgrades. Tacoma OMS practices typically quote case-by-case after paid consultation, with full-arch cases commonly running $25,000-$45,000. The structural reason we can publish a flat $15,000 is geographic (Bonney Lake commercial costs are a fraction of Tacoma's) and operational (single-doctor practice without group-practice overhead). The savings come from operations, not corner-cutting.
Most Tacoma-area OMS practices are multi-surgeon group practices where consultations, surgery, and follow-up may involve different providers. Elite is a single-doctor practice. Dr. Volland personally performs your consultation, your surgery, every prototype try-in, the final delivery, and every follow-up visit thereafter. For full-arch implant cases that span 12 weeks of treatment, that continuity isn't a marketing claim — it's the structural reason the experience is different.
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 Tacoma-area practices; they're standard here. Combined with the full traditional OMS scope (wisdom teeth, bone grafting, sinus lifts, surgical extractions, IV sedation, TMJ), the practice handles the cases that other offices have to refer out.
For full-arch cases, the day of surgery includes a printed PMMA provisional bridge designed and produced in our in-house lab. You leave with teeth that look natural and let you eat soft foods that night. The prototype try-in at week 8 and final zirconia bridge at week 10-12 are produced through our lab partnerships. The in-house workflow means tighter quality control, faster turnaround on adjustments, and a treatment course measured in weeks rather than months.
Tacoma-area OMS practices include capable, board-certified surgeons. The differences with Elite aren't about clinical competence; they're about how the practice is structured. Both columns describe board-certified oral surgical care.
Established practices in this model deliver capable care and have served Tacoma well for years. The structural differences with Elite reflect different business choices, not differences in clinical competence.
The practice is built specifically around delivering full-arch implant therapy and the complete OMS scope at a level Pacific Northwest patients haven't traditionally had local access to. The 16-minute drive from Tacoma is the only thing standing between you and a meaningfully different experience.
From most Tacoma neighborhoods, you're at the office in 16-22 minutes. The drive is highway via SR-410 — predictable, familiar, and shorter than crossing Tacoma itself.
If you've ever driven to Federal Way for shopping, Auburn for a medical appointment, or Sumner for the Washington State Fair, you've already made this drive — multiple times. SR-410 East is one of the most familiar corridors in Pierce County. The geographic distance from Tacoma to Bonney Lake is closer to many Tacoma residents than the distance from one side of Tacoma to the other.
From central or north Tacoma, take I-5 South to SR-512 East, then SR-410 East directly to Bonney Lake. Light off-peak traffic; moderate during morning and evening commute hours but still reasonable. The most common Tacoma route.
From University Place, Fircrest, or west-side neighborhoods, take SR-16 East to I-5 South, then SR-167 South to SR-410 East. Slightly longer routing but better for west-side starting points.
Bonney Lake sits at the SR-410 / SR-162 junction in East Pierce County. Our office is in the Bonney Lake commercial district with dedicated on-site parking and no parking fees. Most Tacoma patients tell us the drive feels much shorter than they expected — most of it is highway, not stoplights, and the route is straightforward.
For surgery days under IV sedation, you'll need a driver to bring you home. The 16-minute drive home from Bonney Lake is no different logistically than a drive from a Tacoma practice — IV sedation requires a driver regardless of distance.
Every procedure offered at Elite is available to Tacoma-area patients. Whether you're researching full-arch implants, scheduled for wisdom teeth, or evaluating a complex case, we handle it.

We're new — that's why you haven't heard of us yet. But Dr. Volland isn't new to oral surgery: board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2023, eight years of active-duty Naval service including residency at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and four years as the embarked oral surgeon aboard USS Nimitz. The full credential timeline is on his bio page.
The price is real, all-inclusive, and not the result of cutting clinical quality. Same titanium implants from major manufacturers, same zirconia from established dental labs, same surgical techniques drawn from peer-reviewed literature, same WA General Anesthesia Permit-authorized IV sedation. The savings come from how the practice is structured: geographic location (Bonney Lake commercial costs are a fraction of Tacoma's), practice model (single-doctor versus multi-surgeon overhead), operational focus (full-arch is the practice's primary service rather than one of many), and ownership structure (independent owner-operator without DSO management fees).
What's included: surgery, IV sedation, same-day printed PMMA provisional, prototype try-in at week 8, final zirconia bridge at week 10-12, all standard imaging, and follow-up visits at 3, 6, and 12 months. What's separate: bone grafting and zygomatic implants when clinically required (priced separately, in writing, before any surgical date is scheduled). Comparable Tacoma-area full-arch quotes typically run $25,000-$45,000 per arch.
Yes. We perform wisdom teeth removal as a routine part of the practice. Single-session removal of all four impacted teeth under in-office IV sedation is the standard approach unless there's a clinical reason to do otherwise. The practice has the WA State General Anesthesia Permit, which authorizes administration of IV sedation in-office by Dr. Volland.
For wisdom teeth specifically, the 16-minute drive from Tacoma to Bonney Lake brings you to a single-doctor practice where Dr. Volland personally performs the procedure and conducts your follow-up. A referral from your general dentist is requested for wisdom teeth cases. Your general dentist, who you already see, can refer to us as easily as to any other Tacoma-area OMS practice.
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, your prototype try-in (for full-arch cases), your final delivery, and every follow-up visit. No partner. No rotating provider. No 'we'll see who's available.'
For complex full-arch cases especially, that continuity has clinical value (the surgeon who placed your implants is the surgeon evaluating your healing) and emotional value (you build a relationship with one provider rather than fragmented exposure to multiple). The single-doctor model is core to how the practice is built.
The structural differences are described in detail in the comparison section above. Briefly: Elite is a single-doctor practice (most Tacoma-area OMS practices are multi-surgeon group practices), publishes a flat $15,000 per arch all-inclusive full-arch price (most Tacoma practices quote case-by-case after paid consultation), offers in-house milling for same-day provisional teeth (most rely on external labs), and provides the full OMS scope including zygomatic implants and remote anchorage protocols (which many practices refer out).
What's the same: clinical competence is comparable across board-certified OMS practices regardless of structure. Tacoma's established practices include capable surgeons providing capable care. The choice between Elite and another Tacoma-area practice is a choice between practice models, not between surgeons of different competence levels.
Yes. We verify your dental insurance benefits before treatment and provide a written estimate of patient responsibility. For full-arch cases, dental insurance typically provides limited coverage (most plans cap at $1,000-$3,000 lifetime for major procedures regardless of practice). For wisdom teeth, single implants, and other procedures, coverage is typically more substantial — often 50-80% of allowable charges.
HSA and FSA funds are eligible for all our procedures. Five financing partners (Cherry, Proceed, Sunbit, LendingClub, CareCredit) are available for spreading payment across multiple months. Full-arch financing is typically structured to provide 0% APR promotional periods for qualified borrowers.
Yes. We accept referrals from any general dentist, regardless of geographic location. Most Tacoma-area general dentists already refer some cases to oral surgeons in the broader region; adding Elite simply gives them another specialty referral option. Your dentist sends a referral with imaging and clinical notes, and our office contacts you to schedule a consultation.
For full-arch implant consultations, no referral is required and consultations are complimentary. For wisdom teeth, single implants, surgical extractions, and other procedures, a referral from your general dentist is requested — both for clinical continuity reasons and for paid-consultation policy reasons.
The Elite Oral Surgery facility is 4,500 square feet in the Bonney Lake commercial district, with dedicated on-site parking and no parking fees. 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. For Tacoma patients used to denser commercial environments, the Bonney Lake location is more relaxed and easier to navigate.
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 whether what we offer is what you've been looking for.
