Why Choose Dental Implants?
Each smile tells a unique story. The following transformations showcase patients who received dental implant restorations as part of their personalized treatment plan, sometimes combined with additional cosmetic procedures for comprehensive results.
Dental implant restorations offer many benefits over traditional bridges, partials, and dentures. Unlike conventional tooth replacement options, implant restorations do not rely on healthy neighboring teeth for support. Because they’re anchored to posts in the jawbone, dental implant restorations do not jeopardize neighboring teeth, and the implants themselves stimulate healthy bone growth.
In addition, dental implant restorations are designed to last a lifetime, whereas bridges, partials, and dentures often need to be replaced every 7-10 years.
Dental implant restorations are widely regarded for their strength, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. No one will be able to tell you ever had missing teeth, and you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite foods without the worries commonly associated with dentures.
Because of their versatility, dental implant restorations can be used to secure a single crown, a bridge, or a full arch of replacement teeth. You’ll love the freedom that comes with total tooth replacement, and you’ll enjoy the full benefits that come with a radiant, complete smile.
Who Can Benefit From Dental Implant Restorations?
Dental implant restorations are extremely versatile. We can use them to place a crown on a single missing tooth, restore several missing teeth scattered throughout a smile, or anchor a complete or hybrid denture. Many types of implant restorations are available to accommodate your jaw shape and specific needs.
Our team works very closely with specialists in the Jacksonville Beach area to ensure the success of your treatment. After reviewing your medical history and performing a comprehensive exam, we can verify the best course of action in your case and coordinate with the surgical team for optimal results.
What Implant Options Are Available For Missing Teeth?
Our team is proud to be able to offer various dental implant restorations right here in the office. Whatever your needs are, we will meet and exceed them with personalized care and attention to detail.
Single Tooth Replacement
For individual implant restorations, a metal-free dental crown is the ideal restoration of choice. The placement of the dental crown will not require any significant, negative alteration of surrounding natural teeth, which is ideal for your ongoing oral health. Better yet, our team can design, mill, and place a new same-day dental crown over the singular implant in the span of a single, convenient appointment with the power of CEREC technology.
Implant-Retained Bridges
Implant-retained bridges are very similar to a traditional bridge in appearance and structure, and they are designed to replace multiple consecutive missing teeth. One implant is placed in the jawbone for each individual tooth, and the use of a bridge helps to reduce the pressure on each implant and spread it more evenly along the restoration for a more comfortable and functional result. Implant-retained bridges are highly recommended because, unlike traditional bridges, they don’t require healthy teeth to be shaven down to accommodate their placement.
Overdentures
Overdentures are full or partial prosthetics that are anchored in place by multiple dental implants. Unlike their traditional counterparts, they are designed to be permanent and non-removable within the mouth. This stable fit can improve your facial features and promote better digestive habits while also preserving your ongoing oral health to a greater degree.
Hybrid Dentures
Hybrid dentures are often a good reconstructive option for patients who are unable to have dental implants successfully placed in certain areas of the mouth because of jawbone deterioration. This type of prosthetic combines the anchoring power of implants with the reliable coverage of a denture, eliminating the slippage and discomfort of a traditional model. They only require a few dental implants to be placed in order to secure the patient’s new teeth, making recovery much swifter.
Today, our hybrids are made of the newest antibacterial, exceptionally strong, and beautiful zirconia. We work with one of only five labs in the United States with advanced digital camera technology, which offers the highest level of digital impressions that seamlessly integrates with our 3D X-rays, allowing for precision never before available in Jacksonville Beach. Perfect fit and digital planning allow us to have exceptional results.
Types of Crown Procedures Used to Restore Dental Implants
Dental implant restorations are completed using two primary types of crown procedures: screw-retained and cemented implant restorations. Each approach has distinct benefits and is chosen based on your specific needs and circumstances.
Screw-retained implant restorations involve securing the crown to the implant with a small screw. One benefit is the ease of removal, which allows your dentist to access the implant for maintenance or repair without difficulty. Additionally, if it needs adjustment or replacement, the process is straightforward and less invasive. The screw also ensures a stable and secure connection between the crown and the implant, improving overall functionality.
On the other hand, cemented implant restorations use dental cement to fix the crown to the implant. This technique is valued for its aesthetic and functional benefits. Cemented crowns often look more natural, as there are no visible screws or access holes. The strong bond provided by the cement contributes to the crown’s stability, and many patients find this method more comfortable since it eliminates the slight mobility sometimes associated with screw-retained crowns.
The choice between screw-retained and cemented implant restorations depends on your specific dental needs, the location of the implant, and our professional recommendation after a thorough evaluation.
Advanced Benefits of Dental Implants for Missing Teeth
Dental implant restorations offer numerous benefits for missing teeth over traditional tooth replacement methods, including the following:
Looks and Feels Natural
Implant restorations are made to look, feel, and function like your real teeth. Each one is crafted to blend in with the shade and shape of your teeth, ensuring a seamless integration into your smile. Moreover, because implants are anchored directly into your jawbone much like the roots of natural teeth, the restoration provides a stable and secure fit that feels natural when you eat and talk.
Longevity and Durability
Dental implant restorations are durable. With the right care and maintenance, implant restorations can last a lifetime. Unlike dentures that might need to be replaced periodically, implant restorations are a long-term solution, making them a cost-effective option over time.
Bone Health Preservation
Tooth loss may result in bone resorption, where the jawbone degrades over time due to the absence of tooth roots. Dental implants act like natural roots by stimulating bone growth. This helps support the jawbone’s strength and shape and prevents the facial structure from collapsing over time.
Improved Oral Health
Unlike a dental bridge, which requires altering adjacent teeth to support the prosthetic, dental implant restorations do not compromise the health of neighboring teeth. This aspect is crucial for maintaining overall oral health, as it minimizes the risk of damage to surrounding teeth and reduces the likelihood of future dental problems.
Enhanced Comfort and Confidence
Implant restorations prevent the discomfort and insecurity associated with removable dentures. They are securely anchored, offering peace of mind that they won’t slip or shift. Implant restorations also enable improved speech clarity and no dietary restrictions, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods.
Easy Maintenance
Taking care of implant restorations is as easy as caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are sufficient to maintain both the health of the implant and your overall oral hygiene. There’s no need for any special cleaners or extra maintenance routines that are often required with other dental prosthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
Dental implants can last 15 to 25 years or longer with proper care. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and regular dental check-ups. Maintaining good oral health can help implants last a lifetime.
What Are Dental Implants Made Of?
Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible metal that fuses with the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Some implants may also be made of zirconia, a ceramic material used for patients with metal sensitivities.
How Long Does it Take to Get Dental Implants?
Getting dental implants typically takes several months. The process usually involves multiple stages: initial consultation, implant placement (which requires healing time of about 3 to 6 months for the implant to fuse with the jawbone), and finally, the placement of the crown. Depending on individual circumstances, the entire process can take anywhere from 4 to 12 months.
How Much Do Implants Cost and Does Insurance Cover the Cost?
Dental implants can vary in cost based on factors such as location and the materials used. While some dental insurance plans may provide partial coverage for implants, many consider them a cosmetic procedure, resulting in limited coverage. It’s essential to consult with your insurance provider for specific information regarding your plan.
