A dental implant and cosmetic dentistry center in a Pacific Northwest suburb ranks on page one of Google for seven implant searches in its October 2026 Semrush report. Those include “same day dental implants [city]” (about 880 searches a month) and “implant dentistry [city],” a search where advertisers pay about $33 per click.
The practice name, website, doctors and city have been withheld. Keywords that name the city or practice use placeholders. This case study presents a documented search footprint, not a verified count of consultations or treatment cases.

The Business Context
Implants are among the highest-value treatments a dental practice offers, and patients usually research them for weeks before booking a consultation. They search for the treatment and the town: “dental implants [city],” “implant dentist [city],” “single tooth implant,” “full-arch restoration.” A practice that ranks only for its own name never reaches those patients.
This practice needed to show up when local patients researched implants, same-day smile restorations and cosmetic work, not only when they already knew the practice name.
Page-One Implant Rankings
Of the 13 implant-related searches in the report, 7 rank in the top ten and 11 in the top twenty. Together the 13 searches total about 2,000 monthly searches. City names are replaced with “[city].”
| Search | Placement | Monthly searches |
|---|---|---|
| permanent smile | Image results #1 | 170 |
| implant dentistry [city] | Organic #4 | 70 |
| implant dentist [city] | Organic #4 | 50 |
| same day dental implants [city] | Organic #7 | 880 |
| dental implants [city] WA | Organic #9 | 140 |
| single tooth implant [city] | Organic #10 | 70 |
| bone graft dentist [city] | Organic #10 | 50 |
These are expensive clicks to buy. Advertisers pay an estimated $32.60 per click for “implant dentistry [city]” and $29.72 for “dental implants [city] WA,” and the practice reaches both searches through organic results without paying per visit. Its same-day smile restoration page also holds the top image result for “permanent smile,” a common way patients describe a full-arch implant restoration.
Cosmetic and Local Map Visibility
The practice holds the #1 local map position for “cosmetic dentist [city] WA” and the #1 map and organic positions for its own name. Cosmetic searches add more page-one rankings:
| Search | Placement | Monthly searches |
|---|---|---|
| cosmetic dentist [city] WA | Local pack #1, organic #4 | 50 |
| full smile makeovers [city] | Organic #5 | 50 |
| cosmetic dentist [city] | Organic #6 | 170 |
Branded searches also perform as they should: the practice ranks #1 for its name and appears in its own Google knowledge panel, so patients who hear about it from a friend can find it right away.
Overall Search Footprint
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Ranking keywords | 114 |
| Keywords in the top three | 7 |
| Keywords on page one (top ten) | 20 |
| Keywords in the top twenty | 46 |
| Estimated monthly organic visits | About 280 |
| Estimated equivalent ad value | About $880 a month |
This is a small, local footprint, which is normal for a single-market dental practice. What matters is that its strongest rankings sit on the treatments it most wants to sell.
The Nearest Opportunities
Several valuable searches rank in positions 11 to 20, just short of page one:
- “dental implants [city]” at #14, about 260 searches a month and an estimated $22 per click
- “full-arch restoration [city] WA” and “bone grafting [city] WA” at #15
- “emergency dentist [city]” at #15, about 140 searches a month, with six more urgent-care searches in the top twenty
- “dental clinic [city] WA” at #19, about 390 searches a month
The report also shows a clear structural fix. For most implant searches, the homepage outranks the dedicated implant page: “dental implants [city] WA” ranks #9 with the homepage but #42 with the implant page. A separate paid-search landing page also competes for the same terms, ranking in the 80s and 90s. Consolidating implant signals on one strong implant page, through internal links, clearer on-page focus and canonical handling of the landing page, is the most direct route to moving these searches into the top three.
What This Illustrates for Dental Implant SEO
Implant patients search by treatment and location, and advertisers pay $20 to $33 a click to reach them. A practice that earns organic page-one rankings for those searches gets a steady stream of qualified research traffic without paying per click. Dedicated pages for individual implant services, same-day restorations and bone grafting, along with a well-maintained Google Business Profile, give the practice more ways to be found.

How to Read These Figures
Source: Semrush Organic Research: Positions export (US database), generated October 25, 2026. Keyword rows have individual update dates between August 30 and October 23, 2026. Traffic, traffic value, cost per click and search volume are third-party estimates, not first-party analytics, booked consultations or revenue. Map and image results vary with location, device and time.
Rankings were largely stable against Semrush’s previous check. This is a dated snapshot rather than a before-and-after measurement, and it does not establish campaign actions, revenue or return on investment.
