What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small metal post, usually made of titanium, that acts as a replacement root for a missing tooth. A general dentist places the post into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time to provide a strong, permanent base for an artificial tooth, bridge, or denture.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dental Implants in Palmetto Bay, FL
A dental implant is placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. After healing, the implant can support a crown, bridge, or other restoration designed to replace the visible portion of the missing tooth or teeth.
Many adults with missing teeth may be candidates for dental implants. Factors such as gum health, available bone, medical history, smoking, and overall oral health can affect candidacy. A clinical evaluation and imaging are necessary to determine your options.
The timeline varies depending on your oral health, healing, number of implants, and whether additional procedures are required. Implant treatment commonly takes several months because the implant needs time to integrate with the surrounding bone.
Dental implants are designed as a long-term tooth replacement. With good oral hygiene, regular dental care, and healthy habits, the implant itself can function for many years, although the restoration attached to it may eventually require replacement.
In some cases, an implant can be placed at the time of extraction. In others, the area needs time to heal first. Bone condition, infection, tooth location, and other clinical factors determine which approach is appropriate.
Insufficient bone does not automatically rule out implant treatment. Depending on your situation, bone grafting or another procedure may be considered to create adequate support for an implant.
Local anesthesia and appropriate comfort measures are used during implant placement. Some temporary soreness, swelling, or tenderness is normal afterward, but the experience varies by patient and procedure.
Coverage varies significantly between dental insurance plans. Some plans may contribute toward portions of implant treatment or the final restoration. Our team can help review your available benefits and treatment costs.
