What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a natural-looking, long-term solution for tooth replacement that surgically restores the form and function of your smile while helping prevent jawbone loss. These implants are composed of:

  • A titanium post shaped like a natural tooth root.
  • A connecting abutment.
  • A custom restoration — like a crown, bridge, or denture — designed to blend seamlessly with the dimensions of our smile.

Together, these pieces make up a dental implant, which is often considered the gold standard of tooth replacement for patients with enough bone support.

How Can Dental Implants Improve My Smile?

In general, dental implants can:

  • Replace missing teeth and fill gaps within your smile
  • Strengthen your bite, giving you the ability to eat all your favorite foods again
  • Stimulate the regeneration of new bone and minimize jawbone loss
  • Prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth caused by gaps in your smile
  • Stop your facial shape from changing, which may occur when a missing tooth leads to a loss of volume in the jawbone structure

While dental crowns can provide protection for damaged teeth, implants are used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire row of teeth. Dr. Nadine can discuss restorations designed to rehabilitate multiple missing teeth, such as implant-supported bridges and implant dentures.

How is the Dental Implant Procedure Performed?

The first step of the process is a dental implant consultation at our dental office in Alafaya. During this time, Dr. Nadine will assess your needs and concerns. Because implants involve one or more surgical appointments, she will complete a comprehensive oral evaluation and review your medical history to ensure suitability, then develop a customized treatment plan. Our team will also provide clear, step-by-step preparation instructions.

Dental implant surgery is typically completed in the following stages:

  • Removing your damaged tooth
  • Preparing your jawbone with grafting, if necessary
  • Placing the dental implant
  • Allowing time for your bone to grow and heal
  • Placing the abutment
  • Placing an artificial tooth that matches the color and shape of your surrounding teeth

This process can span several months from start to finish. Most of that period supports new bone growth and healing in your jaw, and you’ll receive appropriate anesthesia at each surgical stage to prioritize your comfort and keep every visit as gentle as possible.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of dental implants varies from patient to patient based on many different factors, including:

  • The number of missing teeth
  • The location of missing teeth
  • Whether any adjunctive treatments, such as gum disease therapy, were performed
  • The cost of your custom restoration

During your consultation, our team will provide a personalized quote based on your treatment plan. Maple Dentistry understands that dental implants can be a key component of rebuilding your smile, and we take every measure to ensure treatment is as affordable as possible. If our dental implant pricing doesn’t fit your budget, we offer financing options to help you access the care you need.
