PAIN-FREE PAYMENT OPTIONS

We disclose fees upfront, so you know what to expect from day one. We accept major insurance plans file insurance on your behalf, and also partner with third-party financing companies that offer manageable monthly payments.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING GUIDED IMPLANT SURGERY

When you return for the placement procedure, you can choose from one of several gentle sedation options to reduce anxiety and pain. We use digital surgical plans created during your first visit to custom design a surgical guide fabricated with our own 3D printer. Dental implants are placed in areas of your jaw that have dense bone and positioned to optimize the fit of your final teeth. If necessary, we can usually extract any remaining teeth and perform bone grafting during the same appointment. You’ll leave SLC Dental with an attached set of comfortable temporary teeth that function fully and look natural.

NEW SMILE FOR LIFE

After your dental implants are placed, it takes at least three months for your gums and jawbone to heal. During this time, the dental implants fuse with your bone to create a strong base for your final set of teeth. When healing is complete, you’ll return to our office for your happy, healthy new smile created from high-quality zirconia. With a fully renewed smile, you’ll once again be able to live a confident and healthy life!
