Dental implants are becoming more popular among our patients in Miami Beach, FL, Bal Harbour, FL, Surfside, FL, and the surrounding areas for a number of reasons. Implants are utilized to offer patients a foundation for new restorative teeth where natural teeth are missing or have been extracted. The dental implants offer the patient the opportunity to regain normal function of the tooth without resorting to a bridge or dentures.

Prior to having the procedure, you should browse some dental implants before and after pictures to help visualize your results. If you'd like to make an appointment, or if you're curious about dental implants prices, please call our offices today and one of our helpful staff members will assist you.

What does the Dental Implants Procedure Entail?

The tooth structure has two main sections, the root and the crown. The root is the section of the tooth that is located below the gumline. Dental implants act as the restorative for this section of the tooth. The metal implant acts as an anchor in the jawbone.

The first step of the procedure is surgical placement of the dental implant. Under regular dental anesthetic, the gum tissue is opened and the dentist places the implant into the jawbone. When this is achieved, the tissue is then sutured closed. There is not often significant discomfort with this procedure. This process can take from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of implants being placed.

This dental implant will be left untreated for a period of 3 to 6 months. During this time, the bone will grow around the implant in a process called osseointegration. A removable crown may be utilized during this time period to allow for chewing and to preserve the cosmetic appearance..

The next step in the process is to attach an abutment to the tooth. This is achieved by exposing the top of the implant and placing the abutment. This is the part of the implant that will support the final crown. Finally, an impression is taken of the implant and a final restoration is crafted. This restoration will be comfortable and cosmetically pleasing. Your completed dental implant will be fully functional, allowing you to resume normal activities.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants have a proven scientific basis, and their existence will prevent progressive bone atrophy. Your dental implant will osseointegrate (bond) with the existing bone, providing firm support for your teeth. Your new implants will also be aesthetically pleasing, and you will no longer have pain during talking or eating.
