The Benefits of Dental Implants
If you hide your smile or avoid social situations, then you know the negative effects an incomplete smile can have on your life. Dental implants will boost your self-confidence, so you’ll want to smile around others more often and likely be a happier person overall.
Restorations will also improve your health. The implant fixtures are placed on your jawbone to stimulate growth and protect your gums from bacteria. Since bad oral health can lead to serious health conditions, dental implants will help prevent them.
If you’ve been turned down for dental implants in the past due to insufficient bone density, you might still qualify for dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures , dental implants are affixed to your jawbone at an angle, eliminating the need for additional jawbone density for stability.

How much do Dental Implants cost?
Generally, the cost of single-tooth implants cost around $1,000 – $3,000. All-on-4 treatment can range anywhere from $15,000 and $24,000 to restore an upper or lower arch of teeth. This price can also vary depending on your personalized treatment plan, which accounts for your oral health and requirement of a supplemental procedure.
Most insurance companies will cover a portion of the cost, but some may not. It’s best to contact your provider prior to your consultation to get a better understanding of your coverage. If you’d like, a member of our dental team can contact them for you to ensure you get the maximum benefits possible.
Technology
At Southern Cal Smiles, we use advanced technology. This is essential for achieving the ideal placement of the dental implants that hold your All-on-4® prosthetic in place. By placing your implants in the optimal location, we reduce your recovery time and ensure the longevity of your new smile.
Examples of our cutting-edge technology include:
Cone Beam Imaging by Sirona Orthophos SL–Cone beam imaging is a fast and convenient way to get a three-dimensional picture of your smile with excellent image quality. You simply stand still while the Sirona Orthophos SL makes one rotation around your head. The result is a stunning image of your teeth and the surrounding structures with the highest degree of sharpness available. We use this information to design a treatment plan just for you.
Advanced Surgical Guides Using CEREC technology–CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a computer system used by dentists to create a virtual picture of your smile. This is an invaluable tool when it comes to designing and implementing dental restorations.
The small CEREC intraoral camera creates a digital impression that’s projected onto a computer screen. Using CEREC’s computer-assisted design tool, we’re able to fabricate surgical guides that help us determine the ideal placement for the four dental implants that secure your All-on-4® prosthetic.
