I always thought I took pretty good care of my teeth. I flossed every day. I used a Waterpik. I brushed after every meal. But still what happened to me happened to a lot of my friends, too. my dentist had that fateful talk with me when he told me I didn’t have enough good teeth left to support the teeth in the upper jaw of my mouth. I was going to have to get dentures. But who wants to wear dentures? So I asked around. I had a dentist that I had gone to for 10 years in Irvine. Is asked if there was anything I could do besides getting dentures? My dentist said that there was this technology called implants. So, I didn’t know any better, so I went with him. They sent me to an x-ray place. They charged me $400 or $500 to take x-rays. Then I went to the oral surgeon. Of course, this is an oral surgeon that does a lot of other things. Probably most of what he does is extracts teeth for teenagers. You know, wisdom teeth, that sort of thing? Fixes TMJ and jaw problems and even did some cosmetic surgery. So he—he charged me $30, 000, $32, 000 for ten implants in my upper jaw. And took about, oh, six months all together. I had to wait while the jaw cured and everything got back to healed and everything. And during that period I had to wear this very, very uncomfortable plate, you know the kind of thing my grandmother had. You know, it was just uncomfortable. I travel on business and it was just one of the worst six months of my whole life. And then after the thing’s healed up, I went back to my original dentist who charged me another $10, 000 or $12, 000. Course they also charged me for office visits. They charged me a lot for the x-rays. They charged me for anesthesia, you know, so I’d be a little more relaxed during surgery. And the whole job all together came out costing me more than $45, 000.
but six months later my wife and I were vacationing in this real expensive, fancy resort in Mississippi gulf coast, and right in the middle of dinner the first night, my implant bridge broke. So we cancelled our vacation. They didn’t give us our money back; it cost a lot of money. Flew back to California and the dentist said that the oral surgeon’s work wasn’t right and one of the implants had failed. And the oral surgeon said no it was the dentist’s fault, he hadn’t done the job right. So they decided to quote me on how much it would cost to fix the side that had broken off.
And then I saw an advertisement for the Smile Implant Center so I came to them. First of all its a totally different kind of place. All the x-rays are free, all the exams are free, all the anesthesia is free. They told me I couldn’t go wrong because what they were gonna do was all the work-up before they charged me a penny. So they did all of that, they did the exam, they put the results up on a great big screen so the doctor could explain to me what he was going to do, and the cost was like $3, 500. So where my dentist wanted to charge $13, 500, the Smile Implant Center was quoting me only $3, 500. Well over the next several years, the work of that dentist failed, and the work of the Smile Implant Center never broke and never failed and I never had any problems with it. I was really impressed. I talked to my old dentist and he thought it was so cheap the work probably wouldn’t last. But over the next several years, the work of that dentist failed and the work of the Smile Implant Center never broke. It never failed and I never had any problems with it. I was so impressed I referred a number of my friends. They’ve all gone to them. Between my wife and I, we’ve sent maybe 20-25 people to the Smile Implant Center, and every one has come back to us with the same story. They love the work. They love the high-tech equipment. They appreciate not doing all these extra charges that make the bill a lot higher. And all of them are comfortable and happy with the implants that they got.

Smile Implant Center was there when i needed them and they did an excellent job. When my bridge broke, I wondered what I was going to do. I didn’t want another bridge and asked what my options were. My regular dentist suggested implants, but the cost was just too high. Looking for someone who could do quality service at a reasonable price, I heard the advertisement for the Smile Implant Center on the radio. I asked about the facility from other people and it had a good reputation. I made the call, came in for a consultation and signed up for the program. Everyone was nice and they had more practice, more expertise than anyone. Impressed by the good job they had done and the competitive price, I’ve even recommended the Smile Implant Center to others. Now I can say, “The Smile Implant Center is my dental implant center!”

I was at my family reunion when I was eating on a rib and bit on a bone. I just heard my teeth go crack and I knew I had broken my teeth. I went to a dentist there, but they told me that they could not do anything because would take me too long there and I had to fly back home. So when I went to the dentist here, they pulled the roots out and I asked the dentist about implants. He said I could not afford them and that my insurance wouldn’t pay for them. When I left, I got in the car and heard the commercial for the Smile Implant Center on the radio. I pulled over and wrote the number down, then I took my cell phone and I called. I had just had my teeth pulled. I didn’t have any teeth in my mouth and I hated that. So I asked them how soon I could get some teeth and they said they would not leave me toothless. They would put two teeth in my mouth right away! And they didn’t ask me if I could afford it. They explained everything and told me how much it would cost. I could have walked off then if I didn’t want it and it wouldn’t have cost me anything. So it was up to me to accept or not. They all treated me very nice. I couldn’t ask for better treatment. I come in and they know me.
