At Smile Santa Maria Dental, we believe you shouldn’t have to drive all over the central coast to get your smile back. In many offices, you get a cleaning at one place, are sent to a surgeon across town for an implant, and then have to go back to the first doctor for the crown.
We don’t work that way. Dr. Issa has the advanced surgical training to handle complex treatments, from placement to restoration, right here in our office. We control the quality at every step, ensuring the result is seamless, efficient, and built to last.
Advanced Implant Solutions (All-On-X)
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, standard dentures aren’t your only option. We specialize in full-arch replacements, often called “All-On-X.”
This is a life-changing procedure where we place 4 to 6 dental implants into your jawbone and attach a full bridge of permanent teeth to them.
- The difference: unlike dentures, these teeth do not come out. You brush them like real teeth.
- The impact: You can bite into an apple again. You can laugh without covering your mouth. It restores 90% of your chewing power compared to the 20% you get with traditional dentures.
Implant-Supported Overdentures
For patients who want stability but aren’t ready for a fixed bridge, we offer implant-supported overdentures. We place implants that act as “snaps” for your denture. You still take the teeth out to clean them, but when they are in, they are locked down tight. No more floating, no more messy adhesive.
High-Quality Crowns & Bridges
When you break a tooth, you want the repair to look like you, not like a piece of dental work. We focus on biomimetic restorative dentistry, using materials that mimic the strength and light-reflecting properties of natural enamel.
We use high-grade zirconia and e-max ceramics. These materials are incredibly tough (so they don’t chip when you chew) and completely metal-free (so you never see that gray line at your gums). Whether it’s a single crown or a bridge to fill a gap, our goal is for you to forget which tooth we worked on.
Same-Day Emergency Care
Pain doesn’t respect office hours. When you have a toothache, a broken crown, or a swollen face, waiting three weeks for an appointment isn’t an option.
We build flexibility into our daily schedule specifically for emergencies. If you are hurting, call us. Our priority is to get you out of pain the same day. We diagnose the problem quickly using digital imaging and get you stable so you can sleep tonight.
Why Choose A Comprehensive Practice?
It comes down to trust. When the doctor who plans the surgery is also the one placing the teeth, there is no miscommunication. Dr. Issa knows the end goal before he places the first implant.
- Efficiency: Fewer appointments, less driving.
- Consistency: One team that knows your history and your anxiety levels.
- Accountability: We stand behind our work from start to finish.
