Smile Implant Center

I really needed it. It really was like a miracle for me that exists something that could give me my smile back. My sister and I, we both have it at the same time she was in one chair I was in another, but we did it. I think it’s a miracle, because of my age. To have that— You can smile, you can laugh, you can eat your corn, you can do— You know, it’s fantastic. It’s a miracle. I call it a miracle. Miracle doctor. The same day that we, we have the, the contact done but they did all that to find out what we need, my sister and I. I never went to any dentist. I went straight to Smile Implant Center. I saw see all the— so many people working, so professional. I said no, I will not leave from here if I don’t get my teeth done. In the other places, I know you have to be without teeth until everything goes alright, and then you come back, and then you have to be hiding. Here, no. Here they did everything and I never have to be without teeth. I would strongly recommend to come to Smile Implant, and you will be happy, forever. Pros: You can smile, you can laugh, you can eat your corn more

They feel like they're your own teeth. I’ve told other people, I’ve told them. If you’re even thinking it, just do it. Because I, the pain is not that bad, its a lot less pain than it would have been if I had gone and got it done piecemeal, little by little, over a six month period. I’d be going through pain all the time. the thing that impressed me most was after I could eat so good. You can eat anything you want and you don’t have to worry about your teeth. If you have false teeth, whether they’re coming out. You don't have to worry about taking them in or out. So when I came in they told me, well they could do it probably two days. Well when I came in, instead of taking two days they did it all in one day. But the big thing I noticed when I came in here was they were very efficient, very quick. Everybody was organized. I mean, everthing’s on a – no wasted time. It was very efficiently done. I don’t see how it could have been done any faster than what was done. I don’t see how it could have been done any faster than what was done. I would definitely recommend the Smile Implant Center for speed, price and efficiency. Pros: speed, price and efficiency more

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. I have a friend who have a front tooth implant from some other center, and a couple years later it doesn’t work so you have to take it out. And I actually refer her to see Dr. Teich at the Smile Implant Center. And it’s been five years. She completely happy with it. Whatever the Smile Implant Center done here, it’s revolutionary. It’s a technique that probably world-renown and I’m happy that I have been here and choose this center to do my implant. At the Smile Implant Center they combine the art and the science to make every individual look perfect with a beautiful smile more

I've consulted a lot of other people. I'll tell you. 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. So I've been wearing this thing you know, dentures, for I don't know 10 months 11 months now... Waiting for this day. To put that implant back in. Get me my real uppers. I said you know what I gotta call these guys. 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. Pros: value, good more

Now I can smile again. Thank you Dr. Teich you make me happy you make me smile again. You made my life, and I'm able to smile again, All the time, you know for the first time, for the past two weeks, when I'll be able to move my mouth more because its swollen and now my kids notice that now I open my mouth and smile. Before I wasn't able to do that. Now it feel very true of myself. now when I'm done with my bottom, thats what you have to do.Be conversational: Write as if relaying your experience to a good friend. Be thorough: Mention your favorite products or services offered by this business, such as menu items, home delivery or spa treatments. Be local: Identify the neighborhood where the business is located and mention nearby attractions when relevant. Pros: It works more

In my job I'm talking to people all the time. I'm either presenting or I'm talking one on one with people, and what had occurred to me, because my mouth had gotten so bad, my teeth had gotten so bad, what had happened was I was concentrating more on hiding my mouth, than communicating with people. and I imagine of the message was getting lost, and I imagine probably even some of my confidence was being impacted, and I had talked to my dentist about the possibility of implants. And he didn't do it all the time, but he said I could certainly do it for you that it would be very expensive, so I heard an ad for the smile implant center and I said, let me give it a shot. Let me got and talk to these folks, and I did, and I was very impressed with how they approached me to begin with, how they looked at the problem. and as I looked at it I was really looking at value. not value in term with what's the cheapest way to do this. because I could have just gotten dentures and it would have all been over with, but I looked at three things. Professionalism, the people doing it, did they really know what they were doing? and in fact they did. I did all kinds of research and these folks really knew what they were doing. I looked at what they were doing, the procedures, the materials. Did some research on that, found out this stuff is good. it has a proven track record. And third, was cost, and I was stunned by the cost. When I talked to my dentist about it, he gave me one figure, for just doing part of my mouth. The figure that I got for having my entire mouth done here was about a 1/3 of what my dentist quoted me for part of my mouth. Prior to coming in and having this done, everyone explained to me in great detail exactly what was going to happen. That of course took care of a lot of the apprehension. When I got here, of course, we went through it again. And everybody was concerned about my comfort. First they said we don't want this to be a painful bad experience, and they made sure that was the case. It was not painful, actually the day went by fairly quickly. I got up walked myself out of here to my car with no problems at all. And felt great. I've had a number of friends who've had problems with teeth, whether missing a tooth or dentures. And I suggested to them that they'll want to take a look at the smile implant center. Where as cost may not be the biggest determining factor for me, I know it is for a lot of people. And you just can't beat the cost of having it done here. So I did this, it was great, I have to tell you I walked out of here, the first day, with a full set of teeth. What you see in my mouth now, the day that I had the procedure, this is it. but frankly I was eating, fairly normally, 4 days after I had it done. And I haven't had a problem with it, this is great. And most important of all, what worked out absolutely the best, is when I smile now, my wife smiles again. Pros: value, professionalism, knowledge, cost more

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. more

I thought the people were real friendly. That’s the first big thing. They were very friendly. They didn’t waste time getting to you. They were quick to ask you questions. It was real clean. The dentists, they seemed very professional. Seemed like a place you want to come back to just by the first impression. Plus the information you give, for being free, it’s a whole lot of information. Because I had gone by Loma Linda and they want three or four hundred – I might be wrong. I think it was almost at least $300 just to sit down and talk to you. Pros: Free consultation and more! more

My dad gave me an ad from a newspaper, and two friends said I should go to Dr. Teich. Both of them had, so I did. Really the first impression that registered with me was that everything that he said turned out to be right. I mean, and sense. Every single thing has been great and that means a lot to me. I’ve probably been into the offices 40 times. I had really, really bad teeth. And when I was a little over a year old, about thirteen months, I almost starved to death. And also when I was in my early twenties, I was in a lot of fights. ‘Cause you’re Irish? Well, and Marines. So, my four teeth have been through a lot in their lifetime. In tooth years, they’re about 150 years old. My teeth were so infected and unhealthy that they were genuinely threatening my life. He said it’s either gonna be his way or he wouldn’t treat me at all. He said these are the things that I want to do and that’s what we’ve got to do. I trusted him and my health has gotten better and better and better, and now I have a mouth that has no infections. I’m still rebuilding, adding teeth, but I have no infections. My whole health, my whole body, my whole outlook on life is better and stronger now because I don’t have that huge thing dragging me down. He’s made a gigantic difference in my life. It didn’t just cost me a lot of time but also a lot of money, but the big thing was a lot of worry. I was always worried about my mouth and I don’t worry anymore. If I have a problem, I call immediately, they get me in, they take of it, they make it go away and I like that. If people ask me, I tell them the straight scoop. I think they can tell just by hearing me talk about Dr. Teich and the Smile Implant Center that I totally trust it. Pros: great results, hey get me in more

When I was sixteen, I was in a car accident. My chin went all the way into the steering wheel and bashed my teeth back. I lost one tooth and another was slowly dying. Now I’m 51 and it finally died. All of a sudden my tooth came out, just a clean, dead tooth. My dentist gave me a name of an oral surgeon. I was figuring out how this worked, thinking I gotta go to the oral surgeon, then he does his thing, then I go back to my dentist. He does this thing. I’m doing this back and forth stuff. I’m a tennis player and I talk to ladies on the tennis courts. Some have had dental implants and they’ve been back and forth to so many appointments. I just didn’t have time for that. I found out about Smile Implant Center, I called and they immediately got me in within a week. They have this treatment plan where they do scans and x-rays and everything so they can find out what’s going on with you and what you actually need for them to do the right procedure for you and do it in a timely manner. I loved it. I came here; they did it. I didn’t have to go see this person and that person. And they just did it right here at the Center. And they did a beautiful job. The main thing is you want convenience. You want it to be easy. You don’t want to be nervous and scared and all that and I wasn’t. And they took care of me. Plus, they totally want to make sure no one knows you have a dental implant. It all blends in. No one can tell. My daughter came back from college and she couldn’t tell which tooth was my dental implant. This new technology of dental implants is just wonderful. Don’t all of you remember going to grandma’s house and seeing her teeth in a cup of Efferdent solution? Well that’s all gone. You don’t have to do that. There’s no maintenance with dental implants. It’s your tooth. It’s really your tooth. It’s there forever. It doesn’t come out. It doesn’t need to soak in a cup. And that’s why it’s so much better than dentures. There’s no maintenance with it. There’s none at all. Once it’s implanted, it is your mouth. It is your tooth forever. There’s no more worries. And it’s terrific. I’m so happy. Dental implants are today and they are the future and they are awesome.\r Berk, N 009739:\r Pros: Highly experienced Staff and Modern Technology Cons: Long Drive from my house in San Diego more

I’m Charles. I was in World War Two. I shipped overseas as a tank driver and landed in England, and then crossed the channel in the Normandy invasion. I made it through and came out of the service after four years. After knocking around as a civilian, my teeth started to go bad and I saw a very good commercial on television for the Smile Implant Center. I wanted to tell you that it’s everything it’s bragging about. They did a wonderful job on my lower jaw and now I’m going to get my upper jaw done. The doctors and nurses are all very, very efficient. Thanks to Smile Implant Center I feel good because of my good teeth. I lived healthy all my life: a lot of exercise, no smoking, no drinking, no junk food, no drugs. And thanks to Smile Implant Center, I’m going to continue my way of life.\r Raspisarda Charles 006924:\r \r Raspisarda C 006924:\r \r \r Pros: My favorite office. They picked me up in a limo.

I went to some other implant centers at first for consultations. They tried to charge me for the CT scan and they tried to charge me for the x-ray. I hadn’t even decided to do this procedure but I already have to pay them, and I wasn’t a fan of that. But at the Smile Implant Center I had no obligation at all. The consultation was completely free and if I didn’t like what I was being offered I could have just walked away. It makes me feel that the Smile Implant Center is genuine and honest about the service that they are trying to provide. I decided to use the Smile Implant Center because of the quality of service. With the professional staff I felt that I would be more comfortable here. I had my first implant done at the Smile Implant Center back in ’95 and I came back for the second implant in ’98. My wife has come here too, and I refer many friends and family here. They are all very happy patients of the Smile Implant Center. 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.

My Husband and i have been patients at Smile Implant Center for over 4 years. My husband and I had gone to another dentist for our implants, but my implants failed and my husband’s was done incorrectly. Luckily, we found the Smile Implant Center. Before, I didn’t have confidence when I was smiling or talking. All the crowns in my mouth felt big and thick, not natural at all. I have a history of gum disease, so my teeth and the bone were just falling apart. I had to have surgery to replace the bone and then do the implants, so I was scared at first. But I could see the positive attitude and their confidence in the faces of the staff. I knew that they knew what they were doing, so I felt more comfortable. They are so, so helpful and very generous. And I think everyone has this problem where the doctor’s office won’t call you back. But at the Smile Implant Center, they always follow up and when I have questions they always call me back. I like this office because they do have the big lab in the building. It’s really convenient for me. I don’t have to wait. Just a few minutes and the job is done. You do not have to pay for the consultation. It’s free. All the x-rays and everything are free. And then after the implants were finished, somehow my husband had a little problem. He came back and we been surprised to find that there was no charge at all. At other places, when they take your denture out, they charge you to fix every little bit here and there. My friends and family, they asked me what changed with my face. They thought I just had plastic surgery done. They saw that I smile more now, that I’m happy and relaxed. I told them that’s the difference. I’m very happy about my teeth now. I give the Smile Implant Center an A+. I trust them. And don’t worry if you’re not comfortable with English. They have staff here who can speak many languages and they will be patient and make sure you understand everything.\r Crystal N 004343\r \r Pros: Excellent staff High quality treatment Cons: no evening hour appointments more

014804 Massu V:\r \r Before I came to the Smile Implant Center I went to a few places. Even at UCLA it would take a long time and I have to go back and forth and back and forth. I had no time for that because we live in San Francisco. Even after I started taking x-rays at UCLA, I stopped and came here. I saw the commercial on TV and I decided to come here and try. I like the prices better than the others and I really like all the staff here. Dr. Alberto was really great and he knows what he’s doing. My kids and my friends were really excited to see my new teeth. They told me they look like they’re mine, they don’t look like implants at all. I can eat better too, because before my teeth were all capped and I couldn’t really chew very well. We’ve recommended the Smile Implant Center to others already!\r Pros: Nice staff, very experienced doctors, clean beautiful office Cons: sometimes they are behind schedle more

My wife and I visited your office in July 2009 after having a full mouth implant procedure done by an incompetent dentist. You advised us what was needed to correct his mistakes and make everything right. The procedures you performed were very extensive but well worth it. She no longer suffers discomfort and pain at the implant sites and does not have to put up with improperly made dentures. Also the mental suffering she endured during this time. You saved her life. We deeply appreciate your experience and professionalism. We would also like to compliment your staff. \r Everyone is a true professional at what they do and the most helpful and courteous people we have dealt with. Especially Anna at the front counter who always made us feel so welcome when we arrived at your office and for being able to answer all questions accurately that we asked. Please keep up the excellent work. I have referred three friends to your office. Again thank you very, very much to you and your staff.\r \r Shelley T \r Mark O Pros: experience and professionalism Cons: I should have found them first. more

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. Pros: Fast, affordable, friendly and great quality Cons: A bit of a drive from my house more

If you don't mind a very long day of surgery and having your cheek stitched to your gum (which will pull and be painful forever after) and to not know which surgeon will be working on you while you are under sedation then go to Smile Implant Center. If you have a problem, don't bother to ask them what is the matter because they will not have the answer. If you would like to wait 8 months for your crowns and have nondissolvable stitiches then go to Smile Implant Center. Also, you might ask what kind of implant system they use and research it.\r Best of luck!!! Cons: What Price Dental Implants? more
