Would you build your “forever home” on a shaky foundation just to save a few dollars? 🏠🏚️
Probably not. Yet, many patients shop for dental implants looking for the lowest bidder, not realizing that “cheaper” often means cutting corners on the engineering.
Dr. Ewing believes in total transparency. The cost of your new smile isn’t just for the porcelain; it’s for the engineering behind it.
At Smile Makers, we specialize in the FP1 “Star” Restoration.
Unlike standard options that replace your gum tissue with bulky pink plastic, our goal is to preserve your natural tissue so your teeth emerge just like real ones.
This method takes 4 to 5 times longer to design. It requires:
🤖 Robotic Precision (Yomi Robot)
🦷 Solid Zirconia (The strongest material available)
📐 Multiple Prototypes (We test 3-4 versions before finalizing)
“This is not a place to cut corners,” says Dr. Ewing. “It’s an investment for decades to come.”

Is the cost of dentistry holding you back from the smile you deserve? 💸
We get it. High-quality care is an investment. But just like buying a house or a car, you rarely have to pay for everything all at once.
At Smile Makers, we don’t just engineer smiles; we engineer affordability. 🏗️
Dr. Ewing explains our three strategies to make your treatment manageable:
1️⃣ 3rd Party Financing: Partners like CareCredit and Proceed Finance allow you to spread payments over years, so you can get your ideal smile now and pay over time.
2️⃣ In-House Payment Plans: For many restorative cases, we can set up plans directly with our office so you are finished paying by the time your treatment is complete.
3️⃣ “Phasing” Treatment: This is our secret weapon. We can often break a large treatment plan into bite-sized “phases.” We share the same vision for the finish line, but we get there at a pace that fits your budget.
Don’t let the price tag scare you away from health. Let’s sit down and build a financial plan that works for YOU.

Fear is like a shadow—it always looks bigger than the object casting it. 🌑
Dr. Ewing has found that dental anxiety isn’t usually about “teeth.” It’s actually about three very specific things: Uncertainty, Pain, and Cost.
At Smile Makers, we don’t just treat your smile; we treat those three fears directly.
1. Uncertainty? We turn on the lights. No secret plans, no confusing jargon. You will know exactly what is happening every step of the way.
2. Pain? We believe in “Sleep Dentistry.” From IV sedation to General Anesthesia, we ensure you feel nothing but relief.
3. Cost? We break it down into “bite-sized pieces.” With financing and phased treatment plans, we fit the care you need into the budget you have.
“We make complicated dentistry easy.”

Fear of the dentist is usually fear of the unknown. It’s like walking into a dark room and not knowing where the furniture is—you’re afraid you’re going to get hurt. 💡
Dr. Ewing has analyzed this fear, and it almost always comes down to three things:
1️⃣ Uncertainty: “What are they going to do to me?”
2️⃣ Pain: “Is this going to hurt?”
3️⃣ Cost: “Can I afford this?”
At Smile Makers, we turn the lights on. 🔦
We eliminate Uncertainty by over-communicating every step of your plan so there are zero surprises.
We eliminate Pain with advanced sedation options (from pills to full sleep) and conservative techniques.
We eliminate Cost Anxiety by offering flexible financing, payment plans, and “phasing” treatment into bite-sized pieces you can handle.
“We make complicated dentistry easy.”

Exciting things happening this month at Smile Makers! Let us introduce you to our new and improved robot, the Yomi S 🌟 This is the newest version of the Yomi robot. Some of its awesome features are AI-powered planning, enhanced ergonomics, voice activation, and a smaller design that allows more space for the doctor to work. Today we have both robots working at the same time, double fun ! We are very excited to enter into this new era of the latest technology in the dental space. Smile Makers is proud to be the FIRST and only dental practice in the entire west coast to operate using Yomi S 🙌

Imagine a contractor telling you they need to tear down your whole wall to find a stud. Now imagine another contractor using a high-tech scanner to find the stud instantly—no demolition required. 🏠🛠️
That is exactly what happened to NuNu.
Other offices told her she needed a “Sinus Lift”—an invasive surgery to add bone to her upper jaw before she could even think about implants. She was terrified.
“The dentist hurt my feelings so bad... it’s really hard,” she remembers.
But Dr. Ewing saw something different. Using the Yomi Robotic System, he could see a 3D map of her jaw that revealed safe bone others had missed.
🤖 The Yomi Difference:
“It shows him where the nerves are, where the bone is,” NuNu explains. “It guides his hand every step of the way.”
Because of this precision, Dr. Ewing placed her implants perfectly without the sinus lift.
✅ Less pain.
✅ Faster healing.
✅ “I’m so happy about that!”
Have you been told you don’t have enough bone? You might just need a better guide.

Imagine having a GPS that could find a shortcut that everyone else missed—saving you hours of travel. 🗺️🚗
That is exactly what the Yomi Robot did for NuNu.
Other dentists told NuNu she needed a “Sinus Lift”—an invasive surgery to add bone to her upper jaw before she could get implants. She was terrified.
But Dr. Ewing has a different view. Using the robotic precision of Yomi, he could see exactly where her nerves and bone were.
“It guides his hand every step of the way,” NuNu explains.
Because of this technology, Dr. Ewing found strong, safe bone that others missed. He placed her implants perfectly without the sinus lift.
✅ Less surgery.
✅ Faster healing.
✅ Tears of joy, not pain.
“I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew I was coming out with a beautiful smile.”

Do you “white-knuckle” your way through dental visits? Or worse—do you avoid going altogether because the anxiety is just too much? 😰
We want you to know two things:
1. You are not alone.
2. You don’t have to be afraid anymore.
At Smile Makers, we treat the person before we treat the teeth.
Dr. Ewing understands dental fear better than most—he actually founded the Dental Phobia and Anxiety Research Division at Columbia University. He knows that a “gentle hand” isn’t always enough.
That is why we offer a full spectrum of sedation options to help you relax completely:
✨ Oral Sedation: For mild anxiety, just take a pill and drift.
✨ IV Sedation: “Twilight sleep” where you are comfortable and unaware.
✨ General Anesthesia: For those who want to be fully asleep, monitored by a board-certified MD Anesthesiologist.
Imagine closing your eyes, drifting off, and waking up with your procedure finished and your new smile ready. That is the Smile Makers promise.

Does the thought of a dental appointment make your heart race? You are not alone. 🫀
For millions of people, dental anxiety isn’t just “nerves”—it’s a genuine barrier that keeps them from the health and smile they deserve.
At Smile Makers, we don’t judge that fear. We understand it deeply.
In fact, Dr. Ewing didn’t just study dentistry; he founded the Dental Phobia and Anxiety Research Division at Columbia University.
We have built our entire practice around your comfort. Whether you need a little help relaxing or want to be completely asleep, we offer a full range of sedation options tailored to YOU:
💊 Oral Sedation: Take a pill and drift into relaxation.
😴 IV Sedation: Supported by a CRNA for deeper twilight sleep.
💤 General Anesthesia: With a board-certified MD Anesthesiologist for complete unconsciousness.
It’s time to stop white-knuckling through your visits. It’s time to relax.

Most “full arch” dental implants come with a compromise: To replace your teeth, surgeons often have to remove bone and replace it with a bulky “artificial pink gum” bridge (known as FP3).
It works, but it can feel thick and foreign in your mouth.
At Smile Makers, we strive for something better: The Ewing Thin Arch Method. 💎
Think of it like restoring a classic car. You don’t want to slap a cheap body kit on top of it; you want to restore the original lines.
Using the robotic precision of the Yomi Robot, Dr. Ewing places implants so perfectly that we can often preserve your natural gum tissue.
The result?
✅ No artificial pink gums.
✅ Teeth that emerge naturally from your own tissue.
✅ A thinner, more comfortable feel (like your original teeth).
✅ No dietary limitations.
This is the difference between “getting repairs” and “getting restored.”
Don’t settle for the bulk. See if you are a candidate for the Thin Arch. 👇

Imagine trying to stand on one leg in a moving bus. It’s hard to stay stable, right? Now imagine linking arms with 4 other people. Suddenly, you aren’t going anywhere. You are solid. 💪
That is the secret to “Teeth in a Day.”
Many patients are told they have to wait 8 months for their implants to heal (osseointegrate) before they get teeth. That’s because single implants are like standing on one leg—they can wobble if loaded too soon.
But at Smile Makers, we play a team sport.
By placing 4 to 8 implants and linking them together immediately, we create “Cross-Arch Stabilization.” The implants support each other, distributing the force evenly so your bone can heal perfectly while you enjoy your new smile that same day.
We are Smile Makers, not “Gap Makers.” We believe you should never have to go home hiding your smile.

Have you ever used a GPS app to get home? 📍🚗
Usually, it gives you three options:
1️⃣ The Fastest Route (Speed).
2️⃣ The Route with No Tolls (Budget).
3️⃣ The Scenic Route (Experience).
None of them are “wrong.” They just prioritize different things.
Dentistry is exactly the same.
If you visit three dentists and get three different plans, it doesn’t mean someone is lying to you. It means there are different paths to the same destination: a healthy smile.
• Plan A might focus on maximum longevity (doing it once, forever).
• Plan B might optimize for your current budget.
• Plan C might focus purely on aesthetics.
At Smile Makers, our job isn’t to force you down one road. Our job is to be your navigator. We explain the pros and cons of every route—longevity, cost, speed—and let YOU choose the one that fits your life.
Confused by your options? Let us clear up the map for you. 👇
