What Are Dental implants?
Dental implants are a highly effective restorative dental treatment designed to replace missing teeth, offering a strong and permanent foundation for replacement teeth. An implant consists of a small titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Implants create a stable and durable base for various dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

This is by far the best dentist in Kendall. I've been living here for more than 20 years, and I have had many prior experiences with other dentists, and never have I had such a good experience. I had a dental implant done here about 2 years ago, and I have no complaints.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are medical devices surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They serve as artificial roots that support replacement teeth such as crowns or bridges, while also serving to stabilize partial or complete dentures. Dental implants are able to enhance both function and aesthetics.
Can implants help denture wearers?
Yes, and here's how! Dentures can become loose and float on your gums, causing a number of challenges. From friction-induced pain and inflammation, to challenges while eating, talking, and interacting with others, you may find that your dentures are less secure than your natural teeth. For those experiencing these types of challenges with their dentures, especially lower dentures, dental implants can help secure your dentures allowing you to eat and speak with confidence and comfort.
It has been over a year since loosing a tooth, can I still get a dental implant?
With implants, the sooner the better! Because bone loss begins immediately following the loss of your natural tooth, delays in restorative treatments may require additional interventions and procedures. We work with you to determine if dental implants are right for you and will develop an individualized treatment plan based on your needs. In certain cases, a bone graft procedure may be necessary prior to the surgical installation of your implant to ensure that the surrounding jawbone tissue is dense and strong enough to support the implant.
How do dental implants prevent bone loss?
The process of bone loss (a deterioration of the jawbone tissue which supports the roots of your natural teeth) begins the moment you lose a natural tooth. Without the support of your teeth and facial bones, your face can begin to look prematurely aged and the structure of your face will change. Dental implants help fill the void left by your natural tooth, maintaining the existing bone structure and preventing bone loss, allowing you to maintain a more youthful appearance.
Are implants expensive?
Dental implants represent an investment in the long-term health of your jawbone and facial structure, as well as the lasting comfort and confidence in your eating, smiling, and overall quality of life. While the cost of implants can be more than dentures alone, the benefits can be truly life changing. We work with you to provide clear pricing and offer flexible financing and payment options.
