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.
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.
Here's the range of Dental Implants our Marathon team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
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.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, four to six strategically angled implants can anchor a full arch of fixed replacement teeth. The final, permanent bridge is fitted once the implants have fully integrated.
When a tooth has been missing for a while, the jawbone underneath often needs rebuilding before an implant can be placed securely. We'll tell you honestly if grafting is optional or necessary for your specific case.
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.
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.
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.
Implant placement is followed by a monitored healing period, then final crown, bridge, or denture attachment.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Dental Implants.
“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.
Placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients describe recovery as mild soreness manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
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.
Cost depends on how many implants and whether grafting is needed; you'll get a full written breakdown before committing.
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.
We coordinate Dental Implants care across Marathon, 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.
