Terrible Experience
I fell for the TV ad and went down to get a free consultation. I had all the scans done and then sat with an account manager to weigh up my options. I needed 4 crowns, two extractions, 2 implants, 2 bone grafts and a sinus lift. It cost me nearly 5 figures to get it done but I wanted it done and out the way. I sat in the chair after being given an oral sedation. The dentist came in and looked in my mouth and said I needed a filling. He stopped and left the room and 25 minutes later the account manager came in and said I needed to pay for the filling now and wanted my credit card. I had to sign for the charge while heavily sedated. Over 30 mins later the same dentist came back in and shouted at his assistant to hurry up as he wanted to go to lunch. Then I was knocked out by the medication. I woke at about 7pm (I arrived at 9am) in excruciating pain with no one in my room and most of the lights off. Finally someone came in and put me in a wheelchair and placed me in the waiting room. Nothing…no prescription for my medication, no post-surgery rundown…I found someone who I begged for painkillers. I was sent on my way with a small bag of cotton swabs, 2 badly photocopied sheets of things to do and two business cards with two appointment times on them. I went down about two weeks later to have some impressions done (for my crowns) and have my stitches taken out. I was there nearly 4 hours. Two weeks later I went down to get them and again was waiting for hours. I got them done and they looked OK. I went to sleep that evening and woke up with a cracked front tooth. I went down and wasted another half day to get a temporary one fitted AGAIN. The following night ANOTHER permanent one cracked. Now I wear a gum shield EVERY single night. The only night I forget to put it in I get a cracked front tooth. That’s 3 out of 4 cracked. I recently went down for my scheduled appointment to have the second step of the implants done. I went down for a 9am appointment and was told because I didn’t want to take the oral sedation I would have to come back at 1pm. WHY? I came back at 1. I STOOD there for 2 hours before I finally asked how long it was going to be. I was taken into a room and a guy came in to inject the anesthetic and was about to do the wrong area. I told him to stop. He argued with someone and then came back and got it right. 45 minutes later with it wearing off I finally got out of the chair and went to see if anyone was coming back. Someone did finally and the work was done (except for the stitches). I was told to keep my mouth shut with gauze to stop the bleeding. 30 minutes later I started to feel dizzy so I wandered into the hall and asked if someone can help me as I was nearly choking on my own blood. At this point Dr Teich marched down the hallway and said angrily “I suggest you sit down and stop disrespecting my staff. I’ve had 6 complaints about you today”. I knew that was a lie as I’d only spoken to three of them. He then slammed the door in my face. Someone immediately came into the room to help me (while mumbling under his breath). I walked out and demanded to see Mike Schneider to express my absolute shock but another member of his crew, a guy called Art Thompson was requested. I was ushered into an office so the other people couldn’t hear what I was saying. I demanded an apology from Dr Teich. Art said he’d call me the next day which he did but he hadn’t spoken to Dr Teich yet. That was over a month ago. I’ve left 5 messages for him. The bad news for them is that I’m a member of the press. I took pictures of the bloody tissues crammed under doors, blood on the supposedly clean tools, and the dirt and dust in all the rooms. Maybe an undercover operation will expose who this company really is. If you want to WASTE YOUR time for mediocre work then please go ahead and visit them but you’ve been warned. Oh, google Dr Teich too…an interesting read.

I'm getting dental work and that I'm getting compliments on my teeth all the time so that's how it should be.
Why is it that the main thing on your site is a complaint? I had some issues growing up, you know, bad teeth. Than had them pulled out and realized that was not what I was going to do. And so I did some research, and came across the smile implant center, and they're the ones I felt happy with. I love the people here, overall, I mean, I felt comfortable with the doctor right from the beginning. I did some research, I talked to everybody, and he's the one who made me feel the most comfortable. I'm old now, so to come at my age, and to see what they were able to do, because my jaw bone had disintegrated. And they really built me up and its been wonderful. I can't believe it, I really didn't think they were going to be able to do it, when I first got here. And than he told me he could and I trusted him. And he did it. I tell everybody about the place. It's not that I tell them exactly what I'm doing, but they know I'm getting dental work and that I'm getting compliments on my teeth all the time so that's how it should be.
My experience is positive so I figured I'd share.

Its attractive when you have a beautiful smile you can obtain all of that at the Smile Implant Center.
I was in search of a dentist. I knew there was work that had to be done. I had a full bridge, a crown, about 8-10 teeth, different parts of the mouth, OK, total. So dentures was not an option for me, I was not looking for that, I was looking for implants. So I interviewed a couple of other doctors actually. They had nothing to offer me other than, come back, we will take x-rays, we will charge you for this, and we will charge you for that.
Than I happened to see this advertisement for the smile implant center. They were offering full mouth x-rays. They were offering full examination. A 3D panoramic view of your entire mouth. Do you know what that would cost at the last dentist I went to? Too much for me, so there fore I went with Smile Implant Center.
I was a dental specialist in the Air Force, so I do know a little bit about teeth. What happens when you neglect your teeth, they fall out. First of all you loose bone density that separates the teeth and they start to fall out of your mouth. You get gum disease. Your chin starts to collapse on you. Your speech becomes impediment. You do not feel good about yourself. So therefore you need to see a dentist. Now coming to the Smile Implant Center everything is readily available for you. The doctors there. The lab is here. The technicians here. You do not have to go anywhere. As opposed to the other dentist, that I went to and interviewed them. They were going to send me to the lab around the corner. I would have to go somewhere else to have an x ray. So it was a real big inconvenience for me. I did not like that.
At the Smile Implant Center its all in house. Its all a one stop shop. Because they can accommodate you with new technology. You do not have to keep your teeth in a jar at night. You do not have to be embarrassed. You do not take them out. Just that simple, you don't take them out.
Its an implant so its unique. They make the teeth look so natural because they are. They are made with the best of quality to fit your mouth superbly to fit your bite.
When you talk to someone and you listen up intently what do you look at? Their eyes and their teeth. They are captivated with that. And if you don't have nice teeth you can't really sell yourself. Its attractive when you have a beautiful smile and you have beautiful teeth. And you can obtain all of that at the Smile Implant Center.

World renown!
In England at the moment there are a lot of people who go to Hungary and Poland and even South Africa because of the language, but Los Angeles is further. my cousin who lives in Los Angeles, who is one of your patients too, said, “Do not worry. Come to America. You know, everybodys got implants there.” And implants were hardly known in England at that time. when I first came and had implants, eight of them and Dr. Teich wonderfully took that piece which was not supposed to be there out and replaced it. without any trouble. And about two years ago suddenly I— a piece came into my mouth the size of my small finger of the consistency like a pumice stone. And I was very alarmed and concerned. I went to various dentists, My ordinary dentist said to me: “You must do something about it. I am not an expert in implants. I do not know what to do. But I will not take responsibility, you staying in this condition.” I did not realize the danger of exposing myself with this thing having come off. go to the Health Service which we have got which is not—you know, you think it does not cost, it costs quite a lot. A crown is already half an implant and it’s better to get a whole implant when you need it at the age of 60 or whatever than waiting and deteriorating more and more.
People go for implants but abroad because in England they are so expensive. There are some people who say they know, but they know absolutely nothing. 'not like Dr. Teich does?' No. So I feel I really went down the wrong alley by waiting a year and half to get an appointment there in the first place and than not being told about a Waterpik, or the use of a Waterpik, but just being told just leave it and keep it clean. And than on the other hand, my ordinary dentist telling me that he does not, is not prepared to take responsibility because he does not know anything about implants. And I am endangering myself of just leaving it. So this is why I came here., but it does not make sense to people who do not know in England. You wait for a year to get an appointment and then the man says just leave it. And I rang here. Talked to Dr. Teich. And he said just come. And we have to take new x rays because the old x rays, its no good sending x rays from England. You cannot go to someone else in Hungry or Poland. If I start it here. But it is still very efficient and very pleasant. And one cannot afford to miss any of the work you do. And this is very impressive and I feel the rest of the world seems to be years behind what you are doing.
The Smile Implant Center is my dental center and I would always use it again.

We honor our service. We honor our practice.
I did not even have to ask for it. You know, give me a discount or anything. They just say no charge. We honor our service. We honor our practice. And that is about it. The other people they were charging me $2, 300 each. This doctor charged me about $900. But the equipment at Smile Implant Center, the know-how of Smile Implant Center, the customer service at Smile Implant Center, and they treat you like you are family. They treat you like you are family. They know dental implant. They know what they are doing. The Smile Implant Center, I honestly feel, when I walk in, I am walking into my own house. I am that much comfortable. And I sincerely mean it. I am not saying this thing because people like to hear it, but I mean it. You make an appointment, very, very professionally, they take care of you. The Smile Implant Center I have referred all, about 50, 60 people to this place. And I will refer more because the doctor treat people like his own family. Maybe he does not know me. Maybe he does not know me because he has so many patients. €“ When you come to this place, and then you have all the implant and everything, and you walk out, you feel like you are being treated like a king. Let us put it this way. As I said, I a€™m not exaggerating. It is the way they treat you. It is the way they welcome you. It is the way they follow up, follow up. And then the guarantee they have. Four years after. Where would they do that? Honestly, where? Show me. Four years after. In a nutshell, the Smile Implant Center is professional, professional service. They do a wonderful job. You do not feel the implant. You really do not feel the pain. And after that, 24 hours, they call you. They follow up on you. What, four days, five days after that they ask you to come. They check on you. And the procedure goes on. I really want to congratulate them, I want to congratulate them.

I can taste food again
I came to Smile Implant because I have always had my mind set on implants since my regular teeth went bad. I was searching the internet and I saw them on the internet and I started reading. Went to their site and started reading what they do. The most important thing that caught me with the Smile Implant was them mentioning being able to taste your food again. And I said okay because that had been my biggest problem over the past years. I called them and set up an appointment, and told them I’d like to come and see if I could afford it. They said come in, talk to us, we’ll work something out. And I did. I come in, I talked with the doctors and stuff and they told me what they would do and how long it would take. And that is when, I’m kinda thinking of pain at the time because you usually get that needle when you go into the dental office. And when they told me that it would be done with medication, then I said, oh. My blood pressure comes down now. And they set up an appointment. I came in I think it was the 29 of March and they started the procedure on the 29 of March and on the 30 of March they were finished. And I had no pain whatsoever from day one until today, still don’t have any pain, and that in itself is worth the whole process to me.
Every time I see them my family and friends now, they say, Show me that smile. And of course I have to do it because it makes me happy.

Its been a good experience for me.
My husband had gone to get implants but in the other office in Santa Ana. And eventually he got his smile the way he wanted, he’s very happy with it. He told me that they’d run all these tests and x-rays and said I was alright to go for it, you know. So I gave my okay to go ahead and, something more comfortable than that partial I had. And right now I’m happy as can be. So I mean I went through the whole operation and all. It was discomfort for a while but it’s expected, you know. And now I’m happy with my smile. The staff here is very accommodating, very helpful and patient. Its been a good experience for me. I think that’s wonderful that they give you an opportunity to check and see what needs to be done or if they can help you at first, you know, or what capacity it’s gonna extend to that initially won’t cost you to find out. And then you can mull it over and find out if it’s worth it to you or if you can or can’t. But, you know, at least you have a choice, which a lot of people won’t come in for that kind of money for just not knowing anything.

I’m in sales so a beautiful smile will do a lot. So I feel the implant would serve the need but obviously it’s also the hygiene, it’s also the taking care of the teeth itself. So implant is the next step, it’s the future. And I am happy that I have it done.

I went to some other implant center. They try to charge me for the CT scan and they try to charge me for the x-ray. And I don’t even decide to do this and that but I already have to pay them, and that’s something that I feel I should not be, I was not a fan about. But at the Smile Implant Center I have no obligation at all. The consultation is completely free and if I don’t like what I am being offered I can just walk away. It’s something that I feel that the Smile Implant Center is genuine and honest about the service that they are trying to provide.

One of the reasons that I chose the Smile Implant Center because they have the whole lab here in the office. I used to go to other dentists and just to have a tooth or a tooth filling they have to wait for the lab. Here, everything is done in house and they can control what’s going on and they will have it done correctly.I have a friend who had a front tooth implant from some other center, and a couple years later it doesn’t work. It had to be taken out. I actually referred her to see Dr. Teich at the Smile Implant Center. It’s been five years and she’s completely happy with it. What the Smile Implant Center has done here is revolutionary. It’s a technique that’s probably world-renown and I’m happy that I have been here and chose this center to do my implant.

One of the main concerned that I hadn’t decide to go with the implant because with the missing teeth eventually the bone loss will progress and the implant will stop that process and it can hold the same structure that you now have. With the bone loss it can change the structure of your face.

At the Smile Implant Center they combine the art and the science to make every individual look perfect with a beautiful smile

finally something makes sense
I've consulted a lot of other people. They're all out of their minds. When I talked to Dr. Teich, and he gave me the whole layout, I said finally something makes sense. You know, and reasonable sense. These other guys, if my first born wouldn't object they'd want him. And it was a whole thing, it was going to take 3, 4, or 5 years. Or whatever. You know, we have to do this and than have to wait 3 years. What are you talking about, all I want is some implants? Everybody else gets them.
I had been to other dentists. In fact even friends of mine and discussed implants and getting stuff done, and the costs. And I think Smile Implant Center beat them by somewhere around 5-8 thousand. Well that's significant. So I mean they were holding true to their advertising. And I said well, I'm going to do it. I'm not sorry because I think they went above and beyond what they were suppose to do anyway. Actually what that proved to me was that they really cared about was the final outcome is GOOD. This should be it, this should be my very last one. And I get all the teeth and its even gonna look better than this. And that ain't bad.
