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.
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.
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.
Here's the range of Dental Implants our Apple Valley 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Describe your situation and we'll schedule a CBCT scan and consultation, often within the same week.
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.”
These are the questions Apple Valley 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.
Placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients describe recovery as mild soreness manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
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.
Fit and shade are checked at delivery, and adjustments are made until the bite feels right.
If you're unsure whether your part of Apple Valley is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
