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.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Dental Implants, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
Every implant case is planned or reviewed by a licensed dentist with documented implant training, not a general assistant.
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.
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.
When a tooth has been missing for a while, the jawbone underneath often needs rebuilding before an implant can be placed securely. 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. 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. Impressions are taken digitally in most cases, avoiding the old-style tray and putty process.
Implants need their own maintenance routine, and we screen for peri-implantitis — inflammation around an implant — at every recall visit. 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.
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.
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.”
These are the questions Salamanca patients ask most before booking 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.
Failed integration is uncommon but possible; if it happens, we discuss revision options at no additional consultation charge.
Not every patient needs grafting; the CBCT scan tells us definitively before we recommend it.
We quote implant, abutment, and crown stages separately so you can see exactly where the cost comes from.
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.
We coordinate Dental Implants care across Salamanca, from initial consultation through final restoration, without referring you elsewhere for imaging. Parking and accessibility were considered when we set up our imaging suite for implant patients.
