DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is a permanent new root for a missing tooth. It is a titanium screw that is placed into the jaw bone. An abutment and crown are then placed on the implant to provide a new tooth that is permanent and looks just like a natural tooth. 

HOW ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS DIFFERENT THAN DENTURES?

Dentures are a removable set of teeth or partial set of teeth that need to be removed and cared for in a special manner. They can often feel bulky and are difficult to get used to. Dental implants are a permanent replacement for missing teeth that can be cared for just like natural teeth. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Dental implants look and feel just like real teeth, they are permanent, you can eat the foods you want without any fear of embarrassment, and they procedure is very successful. While implant treatment has never been inexpensive, most implant patients feel it is a good investment. See our home page for financing options.

WHO CAN PLACE A DENTAL IMPLANT?

Implants are generally placed by an oral surgeon or periodontist. They are the best qualified professionals to preform this type of procedure. Your case is planned by Dr. Westberry (a restorative dentist), in a consultation with the surgeon. The two professionals work together to insure the optimal outcome of your case. 

HOW MUCH DO IMPLANTS COST?

The price of your dental implants will vary based on the level of experience of your doctor, how many implants you are having placed, your unique dental condition, and more. Schedule a consultation with us to determine a fee for your implants and a financing plan if necessary. 

DO DENTAL IMPLANTS HURT?

No. A local anesthetic will be given before the procedure so that you do not feel any pain. If you have anxiety or fear you should discuss sedation options with your dentist or surgeon. 

HOW LONG DO IMPLANTS LAST?

When cared for properly, implants should last a lifetime. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential to the success of your implant.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Restoration

  • How Long Does the Entire Implant Restoration Process Take?

    The timeline for implant restoration varies per patient but typically spans several months. This allows for the implant to fuse with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration, and for the creation of your permanent, natural-looking crown. Contact us now to discuss a personalized timeline for your implant restoration in Port Orange.

  • What Is the Difference Between the Implant and the Restoration?

    The implant is the titanium post placed in your jawbone, acting as an artificial root. The restoration refers to the visible part of the tooth, such as the crown, bridge, or denture, that is attached to the implant. A successful implant restoration in South Daytona relies on both components working together perfectly.
