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.
You get a written quote covering the implant, abutment, and crown stages before treatment starts — no per-visit surprises.
Osseointegration is checked at defined intervals, and we won't load a crown onto an implant that hasn't properly fused.
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. Temporary options are available so you're never without a visible tooth during healing.
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.
Which approach we use depends on bone quality and where in the mouth the implant is going. We'll explain which method applies to your case and why during the planning visit.
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.
Catching early gum inflammation around an implant is far easier to treat than waiting until bone loss has started. 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.
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.
We track integration at set intervals and only proceed to the final restoration once the implant has properly fused.
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.
Most patients complete treatment within four to eight months, with the implant integration phase taking up most of that time.
Discomfort is typically less than patients expect — a few days of soreness rather than significant pain.
Failed integration is uncommon but possible; if it happens, we discuss revision options at no additional consultation charge.
Only if imaging shows insufficient bone volume — we'll show you the scan and explain the reasoning either way.
We quote implant, abutment, and crown stages separately so you can see exactly where the cost comes from.
Fit and shade are checked at delivery, and adjustments are made until the bite feels right.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Dental Implants before you even finish describing your situation.
Our Dental Implants team serves Lake Arrowhead 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.
