Dental Implants Lake Mary, FL
An implant replaces a missing tooth root. Whether it is right for you depends on bone, gum health and what the rest of your mouth is doing.
Dental implants are titanium posts placed in the jaw to support a crown, a bridge or a denture. The planning matters more than the surgery: the position, the bone available and the bite all affect the result. Some cases are straightforward, some need bone grafting or coordination with a specialist, and some are better treated another way.
Who this is for
- A missing tooth with healthy neighbouring teeth
- Several missing teeth where a bridge would mean cutting healthy teeth
- A loose lower denture that could be supported by implants
- Patients who have been told they are not suitable elsewhere and want a second opinion
Dental Implants Lake Mary – What the Visit Involves
- Examination, X-rays and a discussion of the alternatives, including a bridge or denture
- An assessment of bone and gum health, with further imaging if needed
- A written plan covering stages, healing time and fees
- Placement and restoration, often with more than one clinician involved
- Review appointments to check healing and the final restoration
Options we may discuss
Single implant crown – Dental Implants Lake Mary
Replaces one tooth without touching the neighbours.
Implant bridge
Supports several teeth on fewer implants.
Implant-supported denture
Adds stability to a removable denture.
Bridge or denture
Sometimes the simpler, more appropriate choice.
What affects the cost
Implant treatment is staged, so the fee has several parts: assessment and imaging, implant placement, healing, and the final crown or denture. Some cases need grafting. We quote each stage in writing, and we tell you which parts are performed here and which are referred.
Aftercare and maintenance
Implants need the same care as teeth, plus regular checks of the surrounding gum and bone. Longevity depends on health, hygiene and loading, and no clinician can honestly guarantee a lifetime result.
Dental Implants: common questions
Am I too old for an implant?
Age alone is not a reason to avoid implants. General health, bone quality, gum condition and healing capacity matter more. We assess those before recommending treatment.
How long does implant treatment take?
Usually several months from placement to the final restoration, because the bone needs to heal around the implant. Some cases can be planned differently, but shortcuts can reduce predictability.
Does it hurt?
Placement is done with local anaesthetic. Most patients report soreness and swelling for a few days, managed with ordinary pain relief and the aftercare instructions we provide.
Do you do the whole procedure here?
Depending on the case, some or all of the treatment is carried out here, and complex surgical placement may be coordinated with a specialist. We will be explicit about who does what before you commit.
