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.
Every implant case is planned or reviewed by a licensed dentist with documented implant training, not a general assistant.
A cone-beam CT scan maps bone volume and nerve position before we ever pick up a drill, which is how we avoid surprises mid-surgery.
Bone grafting, if needed, is quoted separately and explained clearly, not bundled into a vague lump sum.
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.
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. We'll explain which method applies to your case and why during the planning visit.
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. 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.
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 Lake Shore 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.
We monitor integration at scheduled intervals specifically to catch this early if it occurs.
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.
Fit and shade are checked at delivery, and adjustments are made until the bite feels right.
If you're unsure whether your part of Lake Shore is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We coordinate Dental Implants care across Lake Shore, from initial consultation through final restoration, without referring you elsewhere for imaging. If you're outside our immediate service area, call anyway — we can often still schedule your consultation.
