Puyallup, WA - April 22, 2025 — The truth is, dental implants are not a one-size-fits-all solution. And that’s exactly why Woodland Dental Center in Puyallup is shaking things up with a game-changing approach: personalized dental implant treatment plans, designed around your specific needs, smile goals, and lifestyle.

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), over 3 million people in the U.S. have dental implants, and that number is growing by about 500,000 annually. With so many individuals turning to implants to restore their smiles, the team at Woodland Dental Center recognized the need for a more tailored and patient-focused approach to treatment.

“Every smile is different. So why should every treatment be the same?” asks Dr. Hanks, lead implantologist at Woodland Dental Center. “We want to provide our patients in Puyallup with dental solutions that are as unique as they are—no guesswork, no cookie-cutter treatments.”

Why Personalization Matters in Implant Dentistry

Dental implants are widely regarded as the most effective long-term solution for missing teeth, with success rates as high as 98% according to the Journal of Oral Implantology. But the key to that success often lies in the planning stage.

Woodland Dental Center has integrated advanced diagnostics, including 3D cone beam imaging and digital smile design technology, to analyze bone structure, gum health, bite alignment, and even facial symmetry. These tools help create fully customized implant plans that optimize both functionality and aesthetics.
“When patients come in for implants, we assess everything from their bone density to their daily habits like grinding or smoking,” says Dr. Hanks. “That way, we’re not just placing an implant—we’re designing a solution that’s meant to last and feel natural.”

A Patient-Centered Process

• The personalized implant experience at Woodland Dental Center includes:
• Comprehensive consultation and digital scans
• Customized treatment planning and 3D modeling
• Precision-guided implant placement
• Follow-up care and long-term maintenance plans

This process is especially impactful for patients who may have been told they were not ideal candidates for implants in the past due to bone loss or chronic dental issues.

Backed by Research, Built on Relationships

The American College of Prosthodontists reports that 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth, while 40 million are missing all of their teeth. And while dentures remain a popular option, studies show that dental implants provide better stability, improved chewing function, and higher patient satisfaction over time.

A 2023 study published in the Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research journal found that patients who received customized implant treatments had a 21% higher satisfaction rate and 15% fewer complications compared to those treated with traditional, non-individualized protocols.

Woodland Dental Center’s new program builds directly on these findings, emphasizing collaboration between patient and provider, and focusing on long-term oral health outcomes, not just short-term fixes.

Empowering the Puyallup Community

For Woodland Dental Center, this new initiative is about more than just implants—it’s about empowering people in the Puyallup area to take control of their oral health.

To raise awareness, the practice is offering free implant consultations throughout the next two months, including CBCT scans and full evaluations.

“We want to educate and support our community, not just sell a service,” says Dr. Hanks. “When someone walks through our doors, they’re not just getting a dentist—they’re getting a partner in their smile journey.”
