A lot of people assume that when they lose a tooth, that tooth is gone forever. This isn’t true. With permanent dental implants, experienced implantologists like Dr. Jose Alberto can reconstruct and recreate a patient’s full arch of teeth with replacement prosthetics that look, feel and perform just like natural teeth. We know just how embarrassing and painful missing teeth can be, as well as how it can sap your confidence. If you’re ready to change your life with a brand new set of beautiful, fully functional teeth, get in touch with Dr. Implant today and visit our state-of-the-art dental implant facility in Miami and South Florida.
A dental implant is a custom-fabricated prosthetic that replaces the entire structure of a tooth, both above and below the gumline. Consisting of three main parts (a fixed implant, an abutment and a restoration), dental implants function to replace missing teeth and/or teeth that are in advanced stages of deterioration. Unlike dentures, which produce friction on the gums and accelerate jawbone loss, dental implants actually work to preserve healthy jawbone tissue and provide support for facial bone structures. Implants can also provide a strong foundation for the placement of dental crowns and bridges. At Dr. Implant in Miami and South Florida, Dr. Alberto and his team operate in a state-of-the-art dental facility to deliver perfect, long-lasting results with every patient they see.
Believe it or not, dental implants are far less painful and time-consuming than they might seem. Using advanced technologies like guided implant surgery, All-on-4® placement, Teeth Tomorrow®, zirconia fixed bridges and immediate load solutions, Dr. Implant in Miami and South Florida, has developed a modern treatment protocol that makes implant surgery faster, more effective and less painful than ever before. After consultation, the first step of an implant procedure is to secure the fixed titanium post(s) into the patient’s jawbone. These posts will serve as the anchors for your new set of replacement teeth. At this time, temporary acrylic restorations are placed, to serve until the jawbone and surrounding tissues have time to completely fuse with the titanium post (typically between 3-4 months). After complete healing has taken place, the final zirconia restoration is placed and the dental implant procedure is complete. For the most comfortable and pain-free experience possible, Dr. Alberto offers a variety of oral and nitrous oxide sedation options.
One of the key advantages of fixed dental implants compared to traditional dentures is that implants support and maintain healthy jaw and facial bones. Traditional dentures produce friction on the gums, thereby causing pain, inflammation and accelerated jawbone loss. Implants, on the other hand, act as an artificial root structure, providing excellent support for the jaw and surrounding bones. Implants are also more durable and longer-lasting than dentures, are easier to maintain, and look and feel better in terms of day-to-day functionality. If you have missing and/or damaged teeth, your oral health may already be in an advanced stage of deterioration. Call Dr. Implant today to schedule a consultation at our local Miami and South Florida implant facility.
Another common hesitation patients have when it comes to dental implant surgery is cost. However, Dr. Alberto believes that all patients should have access to world-class dental care, which is why we offer a variety of insurance and financing options at our practices in Miami and South Florida. Missing and damaged teeth can cause a variety of whole-body health issues, and can have severe repercussions if not dealt with in a timely manner. For example, patients with missing teeth and poor oral health are more prone to developing life-long conditions such as diabetes, stroke and even heart disease! Take control of your oral health now and call Dr. Implant in Miami, FL to learn about practical, affordable options that can replace your missing teeth.
