We understand how difficult it can be to navigate what to do.

TruSmile is committed to making sure you are comfortable during your treatment. We offer IV sedation for your procedure. Most patients have what they call “discomfort” and use over-the-counter pain medications. However, we discuss pain management options with you to ensure any pain is under control.
We treat many different kinds of patients here at TruSmile and that does include people with advanced problems. Our doctors do an assessment at the free consultation to determine candidacy. Don’t let fear of your dental condition keep you from understanding what we can do to help you at TruSmile.
The best news is that fixed dental implant treatments at TruSmile provide you with the most natural looking prosthetic teeth. Today the All-on-4® is the closest option to the teeth you were born with.
Healing times can vary among patients. Most patients tell us they have mild discomfort the first few days after the procedure. Some patients take a week off from work, but many tell us within a few days they were back to their normal activities within doctor’s instructions.
At TruSmile Dental Implant Center, we’ve worked hard to keep costs affordable for our patients. We offer several types of dental implant choices that meet your personal, medical and financial situation. We also work with several third-party financing companies that offer low monthly payment plans. The best way to learn more about the costs is to make an appointment for a free consultation.
We invite you to bring a loved one or friend to your consultation. You will be learning a great deal of valuable information and it is often helpful to have someone present to assist in any questions or decision making.
At TruSmile, we do offer financing through third-party companies that offer our patients affordable monthly payment options. At your free consultation, our team will go over your treatment plan in detail and assist in understanding financing.
All patients get to meet their doctors at TruSmile. You will meet one member of our doctor team at the free consultation. We care about our patients and want you to feel part of our family.
Bone loss can be one of the main factors used in determining candidacy. Most often, bone loss is an issue for people who are in complete dentures, those who are missing several teeth or people who suffer with periodontal disease. When a tooth is removed you begin to rapidly lose bone. It is important to stop bone loss. Dental implants can virtually stop bone loss.
No. A referral from your Doctor is not necessary to come to the free consultation. However, bring any information about your medical situation with you and we will work with your medical doctor if there is a medical issue that we need to understand.
We are happy to provide a second opinion to you. We feel that once you come to TruSmile, you won’t want to go anywhere else for treatment.
