Smile Center Dentistry plans every implant case around a 3D cone-beam scan and a written treatment sequence, so you know the number of visits and the total cost before you commit.
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.
You get a written quote covering the implant, abutment, and crown stages before treatment starts — no per-visit surprises.
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.
One missing tooth, one titanium post, one custom crown — planned from a single CBCT scan and placed under local anesthesia. Most single-tooth cases need two to three visits total, spaced around the healing timeline.
Full-arch implant bridges are planned around available bone, often avoiding the need for grafting even in patients with some bone loss. Many patients leave with a temporary fixed arch the same day surgery is completed.
Ridge preservation grafting at the time of extraction helps prevent the bone loss that makes future implant placement harder. Grafting adds healing time but significantly improves long-term implant stability.
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.
The final restoration is custom-shaded and shaped to match your bite and the teeth around it. We check occlusion carefully so the new tooth doesn't take on more bite force than it should.
Catching early gum inflammation around an implant is far easier to treat than waiting until bone loss has started. We'll show you the specific home-care technique for your implant restoration.
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.
The CBCT scan and a same-visit review let you see your own bone structure and hear the plan explained on-screen.
Surgery gets scheduled once you've reviewed and approved the written plan and price.
Implant placement is followed by a monitored healing period, then final crown, bridge, or denture attachment.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Dental Implants treatment with us in the past year.
“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.
The final crown is custom-shaded to match surrounding teeth, and most patients report it feels like their natural tooth within weeks.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Dental Implants before you even finish describing your situation.
Our Dental Implants team serves Carnation and the surrounding area, with CBCT imaging available on-site so scans don't require a separate trip. If you're outside our immediate service area, call anyway — we can often still schedule your consultation.
