The Procedure

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone where a tooth is missing. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone through a natural process called osseointegration, creating a permanent, stable anchor for a custom-crafted crown above the gumline.

The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural one. You brush it like a natural tooth, bite with it like a natural tooth, and, unlike dentures, you never remove it.

Dental implants also preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing, making them the healthiest long-term solution available.

Is This Right for You?

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults with good general health qualify for dental implants. The key factors we assess: sufficient jawbone density to anchor the implant, and no active conditions that would interfere with healing. Both are treatable, and we work with you to address them before proceeding.

Single Missing Tooth

One implant, one custom crown. The most precise, natural-feeling replacement for a single lost tooth.

Multiple Missing Teeth

Individual implants or implant-supported bridges restore function and aesthetics without affecting healthy adjacent teeth.

Full Arch Candidates

Patients missing most or all of their teeth may be better served by All-on-4 dental implants in Miami, which replaces an entire arch with just four implants.

The Process

What to Expect

Dental implants are placed across several appointments over a few months. Here's the complete journey.

1

Consultation & Imaging

3D imaging and comprehensive planning to assess bone density and determine exact implant placement.

2

Implant Placement

The titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone under local anesthetic, a simple, routine procedure.

3

Osseointegration

Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a permanent, unshakeable foundation.

4

Abutment Placement

A small connector piece (abutment) is attached to the implant to support your custom crown.

5

Crown Delivery

Your custom-crafted crown is attached, shaded, shaped, and sized to match your natural teeth perfectly.

Common Questions

Dental Implant FAQ

Most adults with good general health and sufficient jawbone density are candidates. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or active gum disease need to be addressed first. We'll assess your candidacy thoroughly during your consultation.
From implant placement to final crown, the process typically takes 4–6 months. Much of that is healing time, your actual time in the chair is minimal. We keep you comfortable and informed throughout.
Implant placement is performed under local anesthetic and most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. Post-surgery soreness is mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief for 2–3 days.
The titanium implant root is designed to last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacement after 15–25 years. With proper oral hygiene, implants are the longest-lasting tooth replacement solution available.
Days 1–3: Mild soreness and minor swelling are normal. Soft foods, ice as needed, and over-the-counter pain relief are sufficient for most patients. Days 4–14: Resume normal brushing, avoid the implant site directly. No smoking during this period. Months 1–6: The implant fuses with your jawbone (osseointegration). A temporary crown is in place and fully functional throughout. After final crown: Treat it exactly like a natural tooth. Brush, floss, and keep biannual hygiene appointments. No special care required.
Coverage varies by plan. Some insurance policies cover a portion of implant costs, and we can help you understand your benefits at your consultation. Out-of-pocket cost varies based on: number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, crown material (zirconia vs. porcelain-fused), and your specific anatomy. Explore our flexible dental financing options, including CareCredit and in-house plans, to make your treatment work within your timeline.
