We prove a theorem which provides a method for constructing points on varieties defined by certain smooth functions. We require that the functions be definable in a definably complete expansion of a real closed field and be locally definable in a fixed o-minimal and polynomially bounded reduct. As an application we show that in certain o-minimal structures, definable functions are piecewise implicitly defined over the basic functions in the language.
