Whether it's one tooth or a full arch, Dental Implants in Campo starts with a CBCT scan, not a guess. Smile Center Dentistry plans every case with 3D imaging before a single post goes in.
Osseointegration takes months either way — we'd rather spend an extra week planning than redo a placement. We'd rather tell you a case needs more healing time than rush a restoration that fails in a year.
Our implant providers carry current Campo, CA licensure and continuing education specific to oral implantology. We're glad to discuss the provider's specific implant case history if you ask.
Every case starts with a CBCT scan, so we know exactly where the implant post can safely go before we touch a drill. A digital surgical guide, built from that scan, keeps placement accurate to the plan.
Bone grafting, if needed, is quoted separately and explained before it's added to your plan. Financing options are discussed at consultation if the full cost is a concern.
If your crown or abutment needs adjustment after placement, we handle it at no extra charge within the guarantee window. Ask about specifics before treatment — we'd rather you know upfront than discover it later.
Not every patient needs the same implant approach — here's what we actually offer after your scan.
A titanium post replaces the root, topped with a custom crown shade-matched to your surrounding teeth. Healing time is discussed upfront, typically three to six months before the final crown.
For multiple missing teeth in a row, two or more implants can anchor a fixed bridge instead of individual posts for every gap. We explain the trade-offs between this and single implants before you decide.
Full-arch restoration means a fixed, non-removable set of teeth anchored to a handful of implants rather than a full row. This option is discussed in detail with realistic timelines, not a same-day promise that overstates recovery.
When a CBCT scan shows insufficient bone density, grafting rebuilds the site before an implant can be safely placed. We walk through healing time for grafts honestly, since it adds months, not days.
Implants don't get cavities, but the surrounding gum tissue still needs monitoring for peri-implantitis. We build these checks into your recall schedule automatically.
Not every case qualifies for a same-day temporary — bone quality and bite force both factor into that decision. We'll tell you honestly at your consult whether your case is a candidate.
We ask a few quick questions by phone to flag anything that needs extra attention at your consult.
You'll see your own scan on screen while we explain exactly what it shows.
We lay out single-stage vs. two-stage placement, grafting needs if any, and itemized costs before you commit.
Healing checkpoints are scheduled in advance so nothing gets missed between placement and final restoration.
"They explained bone grafting to me in plain English before I agreed to anything — no surprise add-ons later."
"Got a full upper arch done here. It's not an overnight process like some ads claim, but they were honest about that from day one."
"Shade-matching on my implant crown was spot on — nobody can tell which tooth it is."
"No bundled mystery pricing. They broke down every piece of the implant cost before starting."
"Surgical guide made from my CBCT scan — they showed me exactly where the post would go before the procedure."
Full-arch cases can take longer depending on grafting needs — we give you a realistic timeline at your consult, not a rushed one. A rushed timeline is how implants fail, so we build in the time bone actually needs.
Low bone density doesn't automatically disqualify you; it usually just adds a grafting step before placement. Grafting adds time but often makes the difference between a stable implant and a failed one.
Cost depends on how many teeth are missing and whether grafting is needed — we give itemized pricing at your consult, not a vague range. We'd rather walk through the numbers together than have you guess at a website estimate.
We discuss sedation choices at your consult so you're comfortable with the plan going in. We check in after placement to make sure recovery is going as expected.
Care is similar to natural teeth, with extra attention to gum health around the implant site. Peri-implant gum health is checked at every recall, not just assumed to be fine.
Some plans cover a portion of implant costs — our front desk will verify your specific benefits before treatment. We'll tell you plainly what's likely out-of-pocket before you schedule anything.
