Bingham Farms-based dentist Dr. Timothy Kosinski is offering discounts totaling $100,000 to residents needing dental implants who participate in his educational study.

“Many of my patients have been out of work for many months now and could use some help paying for dental implants,” said Dr. Kosinski in a news release. Kosinski operates SmileCreator of Bingham Farms. “And so I am offering $1,000 off to the first 100 implant patients who sign up for this relief offer.”

Candidates for the $1,000 discount must meet specific criteria such as missing teeth, being healthy and having strong bone. The work covered by this major savings program includes the implant and abutment, the part that fits into the implant before the crown is affixed, and the final crown. With this $1,000 savings the total cost for a complete implant can be affordable. Similar savings are made for implants and denture work.

Dr. Kosinski is also offering financially strapped individuals who cannot afford necessary dental implant surgery the chance to save over $2,000 by volunteering to be patients for a national dental implant training program.

The SmileCreator is the only dentist in Michigan selected to provide patients for general dentists licensed in Michigan who are being trained to conduct dental implant surgery.

The program is being conducted jointly in Michigan by Dr. Kosinski and Dr. Todd B. Engel and the Ladera Ranch Implant Institute in California. Participating dentists will be trained for two days and then on the third day will perform an actual dental implant on patients who volunteer at the SmileCreator office.

“I am looking for individuals who need a dental implant and would be interested in having the procedure done by a ‘licensed student dentist’ under the supervision of a highly-trained Ladera Ranch mentoring implant dentist,” said Kosinski. “This is a great opportunity for anyone who is financially strapped at this time but still requires dental implants.”

Kosinski will evaluate dental implant candidates to see if they meet the specific requirements to be part of the Ladera Ranch training surgeries, including missing back teeth, being healthy and having adequate bone to accept a dental implant.

Patients who volunteer for bone grafting or implants will agree to be photographed and videotaped. “There is no experimental work involved here at all,” stresses Kosinski. “This is all high-quality work using high-end products and the best in technology. Just because people are in financial need now does not mean they should not have the highest quality dental care possible. After all, how can you find a decent job if your teeth look bad? I am doing this to give back to my community.”

Anyone interested in being evaluated to qualify to be a Ladera Ranch patient or volunteer for a bone graft procedure should call Lorry or Kim at 248-646-8651 to schedule an evaluation.

The SmileCreator office is located at 31000 Telegraph Road, Suite 170, Bingham Farms, MI 48025.
