My implant bridge that was placed by my old dentist broke about six months after it had been installed. It did so at a very bad time. My wife and I were on a vacation cruise when it broke and I had to fly back to California right away. My dentist said there was nothing he could do and I did not want to return to the expensive and apparently ineffective oral surgeon so I visited several dental implant specialists who advertised in the newspapers and on-line. I was quoted prices from $7,500 to $13,500 until I found the Smile Implant Center advertisement. I was impressed right away that one of their implantologists had been an implant specialist for several years and even had implant patents registered in his name. They did all the work in their own facility and that meant they controlled how the crowns were made. They did "high tech" X-Rays at no charge, and really seemed to know what they were doing. I was very happily surprised when they quoted me a price of under $3,000 to add new supports and remake my broken permanent bridge. That price was 75% lower than one quote I had been given and Smile Implant Center with all their capabilities, experience and lower prices made me feel confident in choosing them to do the work. Boy, am I glad I did! The implants they repaired and replaced are still 100% functioning today. I was totally "fixed up" in little more than a week as the Smile Implant Center doctor used a kind of implant that did not require the six month wait and I saved 75% as well. I felt good. I could eat anything I wanted to eat and could go on business trips and vacations with no worry my teeth would break away from home.

I needed full implants on the top and bottom. I originally learned about Smile Implant Center because I saw the commercial on TV. Prior to that, I had been to another dental office, and they told me that I didn't have sufficient bone to have it done. He also mentioned the price, and we didn't have anymore conversation after that. It was way too expensive! My doctor at Smile Implant Center said my bone looked good and the price was a lot lower. The whole process took about 3 weeks to one month because I had to get my finances in order, but the actual procedure was very quick. The day I came in, I saw a lot of patients, and the way the staff managed things was pretty impressive. Everybody was so organized, nobody was yelling at anyone. They all communicate by headset and the whole thing is pretty cool. I do feel some pain, but I'm very happy with the results.

I had implants placed in the past, but they weren't done right, so I had to have them redone. My dentist referred me to Smile Implant Center. Overall, it was a much better experience. The staff was great! Whoever needs to have dental implants should go there right away.

My teeth were falling apart. I heard your ad on the radio about 6 months ago. When I first came in, there were so many people in your office, and I thought, “I can’t handle this.” I started going around everywhere, checking with other dental offices. I was quoted prices as high as $70,000. I waited in one particular office for 4 hours, and the dentist only looked at me for 1 minute and charged me $100 bucks. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I went back to Smile Implant Center and things were really smooth. Other offices told me it would take 6 months, but you managed to get it done in just 2 days. And here I am, all finished and with no pain. Everything was really great!

I orginally heard about Smile Implant Center on TV and then researched them on the Internet. I went to the office and talked to them, and even though I had cruddy-looking teeth they made me feel good. They were super! I have grandkids, and my granddaughter commented on my teeth one time. It was very emotional for me. Having the ability to smile is so important. It took me two months to get the courage to go down there, and I think that they did just a wonderful job.

I originally learned about Smile Implant Center from a newspaper ad, and I decided to begin my treatment there because of the personal touch I experienced in the office. The doctor took the time to talk to me about the procedure, and I felt like we were on friendly terms. Over the course of 1 year, I had 24 dental implants placed, and now that it's all over, I can say it was definitely worth it. It's like having my real teeth back.

I heard about Smile Implant Center on the radio, and I had implants done over 10 years ago, so I was already familiar with the procedure. It was very expensive at that time. The cost is what brought me here. At first I was a bit taken back because of the size, but the coordination of everything here blows me away. Johnathan and Roger are a phenominal team. I had a few extractions, 6 implants, and 7 crowns done. Everyone works as a team, and they're very, very friendly. The level of communication for such a large operation was pretty spectacular. Normally you'd expect it to be unorganized. I wish I could bring that to my business. People my age who are still active certainly don't want to have dentures. I ski, snowboard, and parachute, and I can't have something that's going to fly out of my mouth.

I came in because I saw their ads on TV and heard them on the radio. I was looking for an office that had the experience and technology to get the job done. I had 4 implants placed in just one day. The next day I was good to go. I couldn't believe it! Everyone I came in contact with in the office was very positive and helpful. I was really thankful to the whole staff. I was even able to go to work the next day. I didn't expect that. I am very happy with the whole experience, and I scheduled an appointment for my wife as well.

I did a lot fo research and had multiple check-ups, and I was told this procedure could not be done in one day. Your price was so much more reasonable than anywhere else. That, by far, offset the additional mileage to get to your office. I heard about you on the radio. The thorough, free examination was a big reason I chose Smile Implant Center. Other doctors just looked at my mouth and didn't take an xray or anything. Another factor that played a role in my decision was your lack of bait-and-switch pricing. After my initial exam, I raved about you guys. I had been to a lot of places that charge 2 or 3 times your price, and they're prices always came with a lot of caveats about what might happen and how there could potentially be a lot of extra charges. I called your place a "Dental Hospital". I've never seen so many people in such a large dental facility. It was absolutely amazing! The staff uses technology to communicate and everything ran very smooth. It took about an hour or and hour and a half to move through the stations, but the people and the efficiency were excellent. Everyone that I encountered was cordial and knowledgeable. Other than the location being a bit far away from where I live, I can't come up with anything negative to say.

I had two cracked teeth and I heard about Smile Implant Center on the radio. I came in and had both teeth extracted. I also had to have a bone graft performed due to major bone loss on the bottom left of my jaw. After that healed, I had the implants placed and I came back in today to take measurements for the crowns. I was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the information I was given by the staff. They explained that there would be some swelling after the extraction, but that it would subside by the fifth day, and sure enough, they were right. The swelling subsided on day five. The office ran like a machine, wiht each person fulfilling their specific roles. Initially I debated whether to have a bridge put in, instead of implants, but now that my journey is coming to an end, I can say it was well worth it.
