What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium or zirconia posts that replace the root of a missing tooth. Once integrated with the jawbone (osseointegration), they support a crown, bridge or full arch prosthesis that looks and functions like natural teeth.
Single Tooth Implant
Replaces one missing tooth without touching adjacent healthy teeth.
Implant Bridge
Two or more implants support multiple teeth when several are missing in a row.
Full Arch / All-on-X
Strategically placed implants retain a full, fixed arch for maximum stability & comfort.
Overdentures
Snap-in dentures anchored to implants for dramatically improved chewing & speech.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Preserve jawbone: Prevent bone loss that occurs after extractions or long-term denture wear.
Natural function: Eat steak, apples & nuts confidently – no slipping or adhesives.
Protect healthy teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don't require drilling neighboring enamel.
Long-term value: With home care & checkups, implants can last decades.
Improved facial support: Maintain lip and cheek fullness for a more youthful profile.
Confidence: Speak and smile freely with a secure, lifelike restoration.

Dental Implant FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
With proper hygiene and professional maintenance, implants can last several decades or even a lifetime. Crowns or prosthetics may need periodic replacement due to normal wear.
Am I a candidate if I have bone loss?
Often yes. Bone grafting or use of angled implants can make treatment possible even after long-term tooth loss or denture wear.
Does insurance cover implants?
Many plans contribute to portions like exams, imaging or the crown. We provide a pre-treatment estimate so you understand any out-of-pocket amounts.
Are implants painful?
Most patients are surprised how comfortable the procedure is. Minor soreness usually resolves within a few days.
How much do dental implants cost in Aventura?
Costs depend on number of implants, bone quality and restoration type. A personalized estimate follows your consultation & 3D assessment.
What if I need to replace all my teeth?
Full arch solutions (All-on-X or implant overdentures) can restore an entire smile with fewer implants than replacing each tooth individually.
