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.
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.
Bone grafting, if needed, is quoted separately and explained clearly, not bundled into a vague lump sum.
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 Bothell West team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
For an isolated gap, we place a single implant post and let it heal for several months before attaching the final crown. 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. 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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The final crown is custom-shaded to match surrounding teeth, and most patients report it feels like their natural tooth within weeks.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Dental Implants before you even finish describing your situation.
Our Dental Implants team serves Bothell West and the surrounding area, with CBCT imaging available on-site so scans don't require a separate trip. If you're outside our immediate service area, call anyway — we can often still schedule your consultation.
