A missing tooth does more than change your smile — it changes how you chew, speak, and how your jawbone holds up over time. 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 Kiel, WI licensure and continuing education specific to oral implantology. Credentials are available on request, before you ever sit in the chair.
We use 3D cone-beam imaging to map bone density and nerve position before recommending a single-stage or two-stage approach. A digital surgical guide, built from that scan, keeps placement accurate to the plan.
You'll see the cost of the post, abutment, and crown broken out separately, not bundled into a vague estimate. We'd rather you understand every line item than sign off on a lump-sum number.
If your crown or abutment needs adjustment after placement, we handle it at no extra charge within the guarantee window. Guarantee terms are explained in writing at your consultation, not buried in fine print.
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.
A bridge anchored to implants avoids grinding down healthy adjacent teeth the way a traditional bridge would. 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.
Not every jaw is ready for an implant on day one — grafting buys the density needed for a stable, lasting post. 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.
Call +1-866-227-2801 and describe which teeth are missing and how long they've been gone — that shapes what we scan for.
You'll see your own scan on screen while we explain exactly what it shows.
You leave with a written plan, not a verbal estimate you have to remember.
The implant post is placed, allowed to integrate with the bone, then topped with your custom crown, bridge, or arch.
"Lost a molar years ago and finally did the implant. The CBCT scan they showed me made the whole process make sense."
"Four implants supporting my whole upper arch, and they told me realistic healing times instead of a rushed promise."
"The crown they matched to my implant is honestly indistinguishable from my real teeth."
"Itemized quote for the post, abutment, and crown separately — I actually understood what I was paying for."
"Checkups every few months to monitor bone level around my implant. Feels like they're actually watching for problems, not just billing me."
Most single-implant cases run three to six months total, including healing time before the final crown. We check on integration progress at scheduled intervals rather than guessing when it's ready.
Often yes, with bone grafting first — the CBCT scan tells us exactly how much density you have and whether grafting is needed. 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. Post-procedure soreness is normal for a few days and manageable with standard pain relief.
Care is similar to natural teeth, with extra attention to gum health around the implant site. We show you specific cleaning techniques for around the implant at your follow-up visit.
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.
Our implant team serves Kiel and the surrounding zip codes, so nearby residents don't have to travel far for 3D-guided planning. If you're unsure whether your case needs a specialist referral, we'll tell you honestly at your consult rather than taking on a case beyond our scope.
We'll tell you honestly whether you're a good candidate before you spend a dollar.
