Dental Implants Miami | Tooth Replacement

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums to replace the roots of missing teeth. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them, providing a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth.

At Smile Design Miami, we offer state-of-the-art dental implant solutions that provide numerous benefits:

Permanent tooth replacement that looks and functions like natural teeth
Preserves jawbone health and prevents bone loss
No need to modify adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges
Improved speech, comfort, and chewing ability
Long-lasting solution with a success rate of over 95%

The Dental Implant Process

1

Consultation & Planning

Our dentists will evaluate your oral health, take 3D scans, and create a personalized treatment plan. We'll discuss your goals and answer all your questions about the procedure.

2

Implant Placement

The titanium implant is surgically placed into your jawbone. After placement, a healing period of 3-6 months allows the implant to bond with your bone (osseointegration).

3

Final Restoration

Once healing is complete, we'll attach an abutment to the implant and then place your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture for a natural-looking, functional result.

Types of Dental Implant Solutions

Single Tooth Implants

Replace one missing tooth with a single implant and crown, preserving adjacent healthy teeth and maintaining proper alignment.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Replace multiple adjacent missing teeth using strategically placed implants to support a dental bridge, providing stability and function.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Secure full or partial dentures with multiple implants for improved comfort, stability, and chewing ability compared to traditional dentures.

All-on-X

Replace an entire arch of teeth using just 4-6 strategically placed implants, providing a fixed, permanent solution in fewer appointments.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Aesthetic Excellence

Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth. The crown is custom-designed to match your existing teeth in color, shape, and size, creating a seamless, beautiful smile.

Bone Preservation

Implants stimulate and preserve bone tissue, preventing the bone deterioration that typically occurs when teeth are missing. This helps maintain facial structure and appearance over time.

Durability

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike dentures or bridges that may need replacement every 5-10 years, implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss.

Improved Functionality

Implants restore full chewing ability and speech clarity. They're anchored securely in your jaw, eliminating the slipping or discomfort that can occur with removable dentures.

No Special Maintenance

Implants require the same care as natural teeth—regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. No special cleaning solutions or nightly removal like with dentures.

Protect Adjacent Teeth

Unlike traditional bridges that require grinding down adjacent teeth, implants are self-supporting and don't compromise the health of neighboring teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report that the discomfort during and after the procedure is much less than they expected. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and most patients return to work the next day. Any post-operative discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

How long does the implant process take?

The entire process typically takes 3-6 months from initial consultation to final restoration. The majority of this time is for healing and osseointegration (the implant bonding with your jawbone). However, in some cases, we can offer same-day implants where you leave with a temporary restoration on the same day as implant placement.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most adults with good general health are candidates for implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gum tissue, adequate bone to support the implant, and good oral hygiene practices. During your consultation, we'll evaluate factors like bone density and medical history to determine if implants are right for you.

How much do dental implants cost in Miami?

The cost varies depending on several factors including the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of restoration. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan with costs. We offer financing options to help make this investment in your oral health more affordable.
