Placed and restored by one team
Columbia dental implants
Brickyard Dental Group plans, places, and restores dental implants in one office, from a single tooth to a full arch. That means fewer referrals, fewer handoffs, and one team guiding your care.
Experienced implant care, all in one practice
Your implant care is handled by dentists with advanced surgical training:
Dr. Mike Barno
Dr. Mike Barno is an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and has taught implant surgery, IV sedation, and bone grafting at Augusta University.
Dr. Caroline Hartley
Dr. Caroline Hartley is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists with advanced implant training.
Dr. Hudson Gray
Dr. Hudson Gray completed advanced implant and surgical training during his residency at Prisma Health Richland.
Dr. Drew Edwards
Dr. Drew Edwards earned his DMD from the Medical University of South Carolina. His background as a former EMT informs his calm, attentive approach to patient care.
That depth of experience means many Columbia dental implant cases can be planned, placed, and restored without sending you to another office.
What to expect at your first visit
Your first appointment includes a limited exam and a CBCT scan, which gives your dentist a 3D view of your bone, nerves, and sinus anatomy.
From there, you can learn whether you are a candidate for an implant, whether grafting may be needed, and what the expected timeline looks like.
You’ll leave with a written treatment plan and cost estimate.
From one tooth to a full arch
Single implant
One titanium post, one crown, no filing down of the teeth on either side.
Multiple implants
Several posts supporting a bridge across a longer gap.
Full-arch and All-on-4
An entire upper or lower arch carried on four to six implants.
Same-day placement
Possible in selected cases where bone quality allows an extraction and placement in one appointment.
Implant-retained dentures
A removable option that snaps onto implants instead of relying on suction.
When more bone is needed
After a tooth is lost, the jawbone can shrink over time. If your CBCT scan shows there is not enough bone to support an implant, grafting can help rebuild the foundation.
Bone grafting can add healing time before implant placement, but it may make treatment possible when there is not enough bone to begin with.
Treatment may include
Your dentist will explain which approach and grafting material best fit your case.
Getting through the surgery comfortably
Placement is done under local anesthetic, and most people are surprised by how ordinary it feels. For longer surgeries, or for anyone whose blood pressure spikes in the parking lot, Dr. Barno and Dr. Gray provide moderate IV sedation. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation are also available.
What do dental implants cost?
Dental implants typically range from $1,600 to $2,500, depending on your treatment needs. Your total may include implant surgery, grafting, the abutment, and the final restoration. You’ll receive a written estimate for your full treatment plan before care begins.
Insurance coverage varies, but Brickyard Dental Group files claims and estimates your expected reimbursement in advance. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry, and iCredit Works.
Eligible veterans may receive care through the VA Community Care Network.

Questions about dental implants
Candidacy comes down to bone volume, gum health, and general health rather than age. A CBCT scan at the first visit answers it directly, and grafting can often create the foundation when bone has been lost.
Dental implants typically range from $1,600 to $2,500, depending on how many teeth are being replaced and whether procedures like bone grafting are needed. After your scan, you’ll receive a written cost breakdown before treatment begins.
A straightforward single implant usually spans three to six months, most of which is healing time while the implant fuses to bone. Full-arch cases and cases needing grafts take longer.
Some plans contribute toward part of the treatment and many do not cover it at all. The front office verifies your benefits and files the claim so you receive whatever your plan allows.
Yes. Full-arch and All-on-4 style cases are planned, placed, and restored in this office.
The placement itself is done under local anesthetic and is generally less uncomfortable than an extraction. Soreness for a few days afterward is normal and usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
