Whether you need one implant or a full-arch solution, our Dental Implants team maps bone density and nerve position first, then builds a surgical guide around what your jaw can actually support.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Dental Implants is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
Surgical placement is performed under full malpractice coverage and current state licensure, verified before any procedure is scheduled.
Digital planning software lets us preview implant angle and depth on-screen before the surgical guide is even printed.
Bone grafting, if needed, is quoted separately and explained clearly, not bundled into a vague lump sum.
If an implant fails to integrate within the normal healing window, revision options are discussed at no additional consultation fee.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
For an isolated gap, we place a single implant post and let it heal for several months before attaching the final crown. Temporary options are available so you're never without a visible tooth during healing.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, four to six strategically angled implants can anchor a full arch of fixed replacement teeth. The final, permanent bridge is fitted once the implants have fully integrated.
Ridge preservation grafting at the time of extraction helps prevent the bone loss that makes future implant placement harder. We'll tell you honestly if grafting is optional or necessary for your specific case.
Two-stage placement buries the implant under the gum to heal before a second minor procedure exposes it; single-stage keeps it visible from day one. Both approaches are backed by the same integration monitoring and warranty terms.
Once an implant has integrated, it can support a single crown, a multi-tooth bridge, or a full removable or fixed denture. We check occlusion carefully so the new tooth doesn't take on more bite force than it should.
Implants need their own maintenance routine, and we screen for peri-implantitis — inflammation around an implant — at every recall visit. Recall visits for implant patients often run a little differently than a standard cleaning.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
A quick call gets you booked for imaging and a first look at whether implants are the right fit.
We review bone volume, nerve position, and implant angle with you before you leave the consultation.
You'll get a full cost breakdown covering every stage — implant, any grafting, abutment, and crown — before signing off.
We track integration at set intervals and only proceed to the final restoration once the implant has properly fused.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Dental Implants.
“I'd put off replacing a molar for three years out of fear of surgery. The CBCT scan showed me exactly what was happening before anything was decided.”
“Full-arch implants gave my mother her bite back. The temporary teeth the same day as surgery made all the difference psychologically.”
“They explained bone grafting clearly instead of just adding it to the invoice. I appreciated knowing why it was actually necessary.”
“Recovery was easier than I expected. Mild soreness for two days, and the follow-up checks caught nothing unusual.”
“The quote covered every stage upfront, so there were no surprise charges when it came time for the crown months later.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Dental Implants.
Single-tooth cases typically run three to six months including healing; full-arch cases can run longer depending on grafting needs.
Discomfort is typically less than patients expect — a few days of soreness rather than significant pain.
We monitor integration at scheduled intervals specifically to catch this early if it occurs.
Only if imaging shows insufficient bone volume — we'll show you the scan and explain the reasoning either way.
Cost depends on how many implants and whether grafting is needed; you'll get a full written breakdown before committing.
Fit and shade are checked at delivery, and adjustments are made until the bite feels right.
