Smyle Dental – Dr. David Zaghi / Dental Implants
Smyle Dental Newhall replaces missing teeth with implants that restore the root as well as the crown. A titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with your own bone tissue and becomes a permanent foundation. Every case is planned with 3D imaging, and you see the plan, the options and the cost in writing before anything begins.
What we treat
A titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it integrates with your own bone through osseointegration. Implants are the only tooth replacement that keeps stimulating the jaw during chewing, which is what prevents the bone resorption that follows tooth loss.
Sufficient bone is what makes an implant hold. We measure your bone density and volume with 3D imaging at the consultation, then tell you honestly whether you have enough bone to support an implant or whether grafting is needed first.
Digital impressions and 3D cone beam CT scanning map your jaw structure, nerve pathways and sinuses before the day of surgery. That planning decides the size, type and exact position of each implant, and keeps the placement clear of the anatomy around it.
Smaller-diameter posts, typically 1.8 to 3mm against 3.5 to 6mm for a standard implant. They suit narrow spaces between teeth and jaws with reduced bone volume, where a conventional implant is not an option.
The crown is the part you see. Working with our laboratory partners, each one is matched to the colour, texture and translucency of your surrounding teeth so the restored tooth reads as your own.
The same system scales. One implant for a single gap, several to carry a bridge, or a full arch supported on implants instead of a removable denture. Which route suits you depends on how much bone you have and how many teeth are missing.
Implants are a significant investment, and Smyle Dental Newhall works to make the treatment reachable rather than quoting a number and leaving you with it.
We work with most major dental insurance providers and help you get the most out of your benefits. Coverage varies by plan, and many policies cover part of the treatment or the procedures around it. Our team checks your benefits and files the claims for you.
We also work with CareCredit patient payment plans, so the cost can be spread across manageable monthly payments instead of delaying treatment. New patients can start with a comprehensive exam and a full set of x-rays for $99.
Why people stay
First visits are booked longer on purpose so nothing is rushed, and we stop the moment you raise a hand. Most new patients tell us they have put this off for years.
Images, options and the cost in writing first. The least invasive option that actually solves the problem is the one we recommend.
Santa Clarita and Bakersfield run to the same standard with Dr. Zaghi at both. Book whichever is closer, or move between them.
The average dentist in Bakersfield sits at 4.3 stars across a handful of reviews. This practice holds 4.9 across 932 reviews, 822 in Bakersfield and 110 in Santa Clarita.
You may be able to use your own dental insurance if you have a policy that allows you to choose your own dentist. If this is the case, we are happy to file your insurance claims for you so that you can be reimbursed by your insurance company.
Both offices hold time open each day for pain, swelling and breakages, because those never arrive on a convenient schedule.
Reviews
I got my wisdom teeth removed here and it went great! Doctor Zaghi did such an amazing job and made me feel really comfortable the whole time he was super nice and friendly . The procedure was quick and way less scary than I expected. Also the staff were super nice, kind , and helpful too. Thank you

Most people are, but it depends on your bone. At the consultation we take 3D images to measure the density and volume of the jawbone where the implant would sit. If there is enough bone we can proceed. If there is not, grafting can often build it up first. You will be told which of those applies to you before any treatment is booked.
The implant post itself is designed as a long-term solution and can last decades with proper care. The crown on top is the part that sees daily wear and may need replacing sooner. Good hygiene and regular check-ups at Smyle Dental Newhall are what make the difference.
An implant replaces the root as well as the visible tooth, so it keeps stimulating the jawbone and prevents the bone loss that follows a missing tooth. It is also self-supporting, unlike a traditional bridge which requires grinding down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
Placement is done under local anaesthetic, and the position is planned in advance from your 3D scan rather than decided on the day. We book the appointment longer than a standard visit so nothing is rushed, we explain each step before it happens, and we stop the moment you signal.
