A missing tooth changes how you chew, how your jawbone holds up over time, and eventually how your smile looks — our Dental Implants process starts with a CBCT scan so the plan is exact before any surgery happens.
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.
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.
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.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, four to six strategically angled implants can anchor a full arch of fixed replacement teeth. 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. We'll tell you honestly if grafting is optional or necessary for your specific case.
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.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Dental Implants at any of our affiliated offices.
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.”
These are the questions Yorktown 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.
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.
If you're unsure whether your part of Yorktown is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We coordinate Dental Implants care across Yorktown, 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.
