Dental Implants
The FDIOS dental implant procedure provides you with teeth that look natural and feel great. We use only the top-of-the-line materials: Titanium and Zirconia, which help ensure the durability of your new teeth. Dental implant placement is one of the safest and most predictable procedures in dentistry. When placed by the experienced oral surgeons at FDIOS, your dental implants should last a lifetime.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
Need a full arch of teeth? Or even a full-mouth restoration? We specialize in giving patients their smiles back through a dental implant procedure. We can give you a full set of fixed teeth, all in one day.
Even if you are suffering from severe bone loss, or have been told you are ineligible for implants, we can provide you with strong, beautiful Zirconia teeth. Our surgeons specialize in Zygomatic implant placement that can allow the procedure to be completed in one day with no bone grafting.
Single Tooth Implants
Need one or a few teeth replaced? Come see us for a consultation. Florida Dental Implants & Oral Surgery specializes in teeth extraction and the placement of titanium implants.
We’ll do a CT scan to get a detailed look at your teeth and jaw bone structure. Our surgeons will discuss with you the best treatment plan for your situation and whether or not bone grafting will be necessary. We have provided thousands of implants for patients under a variety of circumstances.
Who is eligible for dental implants?
Candidates for dental implants often have experienced one or more of the following:
Broken Teeth
Missing Teeth
Infected Gums/Bone
Dissatisfaction With Dentures
Why Get Dental Implants?
When a tooth is lost, the integrity of the jaw bone may be compromised. Jaw bone that is not in contact with the root of a tooth can slowly erode, leading to the displacement of the surrounding teeth and, in some cases, infection. A dental implant can be embedded under the gum line and the bone will fuse with the implant through a process known as osseointegration. By maintaining the integrity of your jaw with a dental implant, you can save yourself from excess pain and dental work later on.
The Procedure
Full Mouth
When you arrive on the day of your procedure, you will be seated comfortably in our theater-style waiting area. Soon after, our staff will escort you to the procedure room where our anesthesiologist will help you sleep comfortably through General Anesthesia. The oral surgeon will remove remaining teeth and place implants. He will then take an impression of your mouth to be used for the creation of your new teeth.
You will be transferred to rest in a recovery room where you’ll slowly wake up. During this time, your custom-made teeth are being finalized by the technicians in our on-site lab. The doctor will then fit the new teeth to your implants and you will leave our office with new teeth that day. This initial set of acrylic teeth, or “test-drive” teeth, is used for easy adjustment and healing throughout your healing period. During this 6-month period, the implants will naturally fuse with your jawbone, and our lab technicians will prepare your permanent set of Zirconia teeth.
6 months later, you will return to our office or visit a local prosthodontist to have your permanent Zirconia teeth placed.
Single Tooth
- Local Anesthesia: The numbing of specific areas in your mouth through injection.
- IV Sedation: The administering of mild doses of sedatives through the vein to reduce anxiety, block pain, and put patients into a twilight state.
- General Anesthesia: Ensuring you will sleep soundly throughout the surgery by receiving drugs through a vein and breathing through a nasal tube.
If there is still a tooth remaining where the dental implant will be placed, the tooth will be extracted at this time. The surgeon will then clean and remove any infection present in the gum or bone in that area.
If the underlying bone isn’t yet dense enough for the placement of an implant, the surgeon will perform bone grafting. Natural or artificial bone material will be affixed to the bone area and given a healing period to fuse together. This time period is subject to vary according to the patient’s anatomy and healing.
After this healing period, your bone will be thick and dense enough for the implant placement procedure. You will return to our office to have the implant placed and then undergo a 6 month healing period as the implant fuses to the jaw.
After this second healing period, your final procedure will be a simple fitting of the crown onto the implant, which can be done in our partnering dental office or at your local dentist.
