Full Treatment Process
What to Expect From Your First Call to Your Final Follow-Up
Every treatment at Metro Dental — whether a single veneer or a full 3-on-6™ reconstruction — follows the same coordinated seven-step process. This is what you can expect from your first phone call through long-term maintenance. Every step happens at our Lexington, MA office, with your treating doctor — Dr. Fedorenko or Dr. Ford — overseeing your care from start to finish.
-
01 Same-day response
Initial Contact & Scheduling
When you submit a consultation request or call us — new patients (617) 356-0860 or existing patients (617) 918-7887 — our team responds within one business day during office hours (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM). We will ask a few brief questions about what brings you to us — a specific concern, a recommendation from another patient, or a second opinion you are seeking — and schedule your consultation, usually within the following week.
There is no obligation at this stage. The initial call is simply about understanding your situation well enough to make your first visit efficient.
-
02 60–90 minutes
Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Imaging
Your first in-office visit is the most important. Plan for 60 to 90 minutes so we have time to do this properly. You will meet your treating doctor — Dr. Alex Fedorenko or Dr. Christian Ford — directly, — not a hygienist or assistant standing in — for a complete evaluation.
What is included:
- Full clinical exam of your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues
- CBCT 3D scan that maps your bone, nerve positions, and sinus anatomy in high resolution
- Intra-oral photography that lets us document your starting point and plan aesthetic changes precisely
- Bite analysis to check for grinding, uneven wear, or occlusal problems that need to be factored into any long-term plan
- Conversation about your goals — what has been bothering you, what you want your smile to look like, what you can and cannot commit to in terms of time and investment
You will leave this visit with a clear picture of what is realistic, what is not, and what options exist. No pressure to proceed the same day.
-
03 Within 3–5 business days
Written Treatment Plan & Estimate
After your consultation, your treating doctor reviews the imaging and clinical notes, then prepares a written treatment plan that covers:
- Phased sequence of care — exactly what happens first, second, third
- Timeline expectations for each phase, including healing periods
- Line-item cost estimate with each procedure priced individually
- Financing walk-through showing CareCredit and Proceed Finance monthly payment options for your specific case
- Alternatives — if multiple treatment paths are reasonable, we describe both and recommend one
You receive the plan by email or can pick it up in the office. This is your document to review, share with family, and ask questions about before any treatment begins.
-
04 Weeks to months
Preparatory Phase (If Needed)
Not every case needs this phase, but complex implant and full-mouth reconstruction cases usually do. Preparatory work may include:
- Gum disease treatment to bring active gum disease under control before any restorative work
- Extractions of failing teeth that cannot be saved
- Bone grafting to rebuild jawbone volume where long-term tooth loss has caused resorption
- Sinus lift surgery to create vertical bone space for upper-back-tooth implants
- Gum grafting to correct recession before cosmetic restoration
Because Dr. Fedorenko and Dr. Ford perform this surgical work in-house, these procedures happen in our office — no referrals out, no cross-office handoffs. Healing periods between phases are planned into your overall timeline, and we monitor progress with periodic follow-up imaging.
-
05 One or more visits
Surgical Phase
For implant cases, the surgical phase places titanium implants into the prepared bone under local anesthesia. Oral sedation is available for anxious patients or longer procedures. Most patients drive themselves home after single-implant placements; sedated patients need a designated driver.
For 3-on-6™ and All-on-X full-arch cases, we often place a temporary bridge the same day as surgery, so you leave with functional, presentable teeth while the implants heal.
Post-operative care is managed at our office. You will receive detailed written instructions, prescriptions if needed, and direct contact information for questions during your recovery. A follow-up visit the next week confirms proper healing.
-
06 3–6 months
Healing & Integration
Dental implants require osseointegration — a biological process where the titanium surface fuses with your natural bone. This takes 3 to 6 months depending on your bone quality, smoking status (smoking significantly slows healing), and overall health.
During this phase you visit us every 6 to 8 weeks for brief check-ins. We confirm proper healing with clinical exam and, when indicated, follow-up imaging. If a temporary bridge is in place, we monitor its stability and adjust as needed.
This is the least eventful phase of treatment — and a sign things are going well.
-
07 Long-term
Final Restoration & Long-Term Care
Once osseointegration is confirmed, your treating doctor places the final restoration — a custom porcelain crown, bridge, or the three 3-on-6™ porcelain bridges. This phase typically takes two visits: precision impressions and lab fabrication, then placement, bite adjustment, and final polish.
Long-term care begins immediately:
- Routine cleanings every 3 to 6 months depending on your case
- Annual exams with updated imaging to monitor implant health
- Maintenance of the 3-on-6™ Limited Lifetime Lab Warranty requires meeting routine cleaning and follow-up expectations
- Same-doctor continuity — you continue to see your treating doctor — Dr. Fedorenko or Dr. Ford — for all follow-up visits, not a rotating associate
With proper maintenance, dental implants themselves often last 20 years or more. The crowns or bridges on top may be maintained or replaced over that period, but the titanium foundation below is designed to remain stable for many years with proper care.

I dont leave reviews anymore...I forget to update them sorry
I rarely write positive reviews, but this time I want to say thank you 100%. I truly appreciate honest doctors who care about their reputation, their work, and their patients — not just money. This doctor is exactly that. The free consultation lasted over an hour, not 10 minutes. X-rays were taken, and everything was clearly explained and shown to me: what treatment was needed, why, and what the underlying causes were. There was no rush and no pressure — just professionalism, attention, and genuine care. I am also very happy with the treatment itself. Highly recommended!
I’d love to share my experience at this dental studio. This was one of those rare times when a dental visit felt calm, comfortable, and genuinely pleasant. I received a complimentary consultation where everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, and a thoughtful treatment plan was created for me. Throughout the entire visit, I felt completely taken care of. The team worked with such professionalism, precision, and care, always paying close attention to my comfort. All of my dental treatment was done beautifully, and I left not only with great results but also feeling relaxed and truly grateful. I’m so happy I trusted this team and found a dental studio I can confidently call my own. Thank you for your professionalism, kindness, and care. I will definitely be coming back.
I went to another dentist for five years, and I was disappointed with that place! As for Metro Dental & Implant Studio, the first visit proved to be very effective and informative. I received excellent advice and a clearer idea of what I need to do with my teeth in the coming time! Thank you to these people for their high professionalism and individual approach!
I haven’t been to the dentist in 9 years and finally decided to make a trip from Missouri to see Dr. Alex and his team! It was the best decision I’ve made! Ребята, у кого проблемы с зубами настоятельно рекомендую эту клинику! Прошел весь курс лечения за два дня. Если бы еще раз приходилось лечить зубы, это было бы только в Метро дентал! Alex is perfect doctor, a Pro in his trait !
Дуже дякую лікарю Алексу за гарну роботу відносно моєї посмішки. Людина знаходиться на своєму місті 😊🙌 всім добра 😊
Привіт. Завітали в студію і нас одразу охопила благоприємна атмосфера🤗 Адміністратор Кароліна дуже мила 🥰 Гігієна та чистота на вищому рівні. Нам порекомендували і ми стали пацієнтами. Алекс та його команда відповідальні професіонали своєї справи. Ми щиро раді знайомству з цією неймовірною командою🥰 з нетерпінням чекатиму кінцевого результату для мого брата. Сподіваюся він сяятиме не лише посмішкою але і щастям🤗
Всем привет! Сегодня я хочу дополнить свой отзыв о клинике которую посещаю без стресса и каких то негативных эмоций! Мне не повезло и зубы мое слабое место...поэтому опыт лечения у меня очень большой. И я могу твердо утверждать ,что это лучшая стоматология из всех где мне приходилось лечить зубы! Команда Алекса очень организованная и невероятно компетентна ! При всем этом работники постоянно изучают новые технологии и приспособления. Подход очень индивидуальный к каждому клиенту, терпение и выдержка на высоте. Сотрудники сплочённые и предупреждают действия друг друга, я в восторге! При не предвиденных обязательствах, всегда стараются назначить запись или перенести если не получается приехать в уже назначенный день! Рекомендую от всего сердца! Спасибо!!!

Выражаю свою признательность волшебным рукам и настоящему лечебному таланту 👍💪🏻Alex Fedorenko Неоднократное двухчасовое лечение пролетало незаметно, все манипуляции были легки и безболезненны, руки врача были невесомы и совершенно не задевали ни щек, ни губ, не давили на челюсти, 🤩а обстановка в кабинете спокойная умиротворяющая, иной раз даже забывала, что нахожусь в кресле стоматолога, если глаза закрыты и звучала негромкая музыка. 😊Благодарю вас, Alex Fedorenko ,за ваш талант Врача!. Рекомендую! И обязательно приеду еще если мне понадобится 😉🤩🫶🏻
Посещала клинику несколько раз, осталась очень довольной. Доктор Алекс проявил профессионализм в своем деле, учитывая мое положение ( беременность) , все прошло успешно, и чувствовала себя очень хорошо. Огромное спасибо!!!
