Implant Dentistry

Implant Dentistry at Prestige Dentistry

At Prestige Dentistry, we’re proud to offer advanced implant dentistry services at both our Palm Harbor and Trinity locations.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or need a full-arch restoration, our skilled team can restore your smile with precision, comfort, and lasting results.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer a superior, long-term solution compared to traditional bridges or dentures:

  • Preserve Your Natural Smile
    When you lose a tooth, surrounding teeth can tilt, shift, or even become misaligned. Implants act like natural roots, maintaining healthy spacing and alignment.
  • Prevent Bone Loss
    Unlike dentures, implants stimulate your jawbone, helping to prevent the shrinkage that often follows tooth loss.
  • Restore Function and Confidence
    Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling without worry. Implants feel secure, function smoothly, and look natural.

These benefits apply whether you’re replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or wearing implant-supported dentures. We’ll tailor a plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Precise Care

At Prestige Dentistry, we use the latest dental technology to ensure your implant treatment is accurate, comfortable, and predictable.

3D Cone-Beam Imaging (GALILEOS®)

Our GALILEOS® cone-beam CT scanner produces detailed, three-dimensional X-rays. This advanced imaging allows us to:

  • Precisely measure bone height and density
  • Locate nerve pathways and sinus cavities
  • Plan implant placement without disturbing gums whenever possible

By taking such careful measurements, we minimize risk and enhance your safety.

Guided Implant Planning

We rely on digital treatment planning tools that allow us to map out your implants virtually. This approach supports:

  • Minimally invasive, flapless implant placement
  • Optimal positioning for aesthetics and function
  • Faster recovery times and improved outcomes

Implant Dentistry Services at Prestige

We offer a full spectrum of implant services tailored to every patient's needs:

  1. Single Tooth Implants
    Replace one missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth. We place the implant and attach a custom-crafted crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  2. Multiple Implants & Bridges
    If you’re missing several teeth, implants can support bridges—offering a strong, natural-looking solution that doesn't sacrifice nearby healthy teeth.
  3. Implant-Supported Dentures
    Tired of loose or uncomfortable dentures? Anchor your upper or lower denture with implants for enhanced security and comfort. Choose from removable clip-in styles or fixed, secure options.
  4. Full-Arch Restoration (All-on-4 / All-on-6)
    For patients without enough teeth, or with failing dentures, full-arch prosthetics supported by four or six implants offer a permanent, strong, and beautiful solution.
  5. Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts
    Already worn-down jawbone? No problem. We specialize in bone grafts and sinus lifts to rebuild your bone structure—ensuring a stable foundation for implants.

Are You a Candidate?

Most adults in good health are strong candidates for dental implants, but some factors may require additional planning:

  • Bone Volume & Quality
    Using CT imaging, we assess whether you have sufficient jawbone. If not, we recommend grafting to build up bone.
  • Health Conditions
    Diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer treatment, or certain blood disorders may require special attention. Each patient is assessed individually.
  • Oral Health
    You should have healthy gums and be free from active periodontal disease. We tailor treatment to ensure your mouth is ready.
  • Commitment to Follow-Up
    Like natural teeth, implants need regular care—professional cleanings, daily brushing, and check-ups.

What to Expect: A Typical Implant Plan

  • Consultation & Imaging
    We’ll review your goals, take a 3D scan, and perform a thorough exam at either our Palm Harbor or Trinity office.
  • Treatment Planning
    Using digital tools, we map out your implant placement, choose your prosthetic type, and schedule any necessary bone grafting.
  • Surgical Appointment
    We place the implant in the jaw. Depending on your case, this may be a traditional approach or a streamlined, minimally invasive procedure.
  • Healing Phase
    The implant fuses with your bone over 3–6 months. Most patients experience mild swelling or discomfort, managed with over-the-counter meds.
  • Abutment & Prosthesis
    Once healed, we attach the abutment and take impressions. A custom crown, bridge, or denture is fabricated.
  • Final Restoration
    After ensuring fit, color, and bite are ideal, we place your final restoration. It will look and feel just like natural teeth.
  • Ongoing Care
    Implants last longest with professional checkups every six months, meticulous at-home cleaning, and exams at Prestige Dentistry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does implant treatment take?

+

Generally 3–6 months. Bone healing may extend it, but advances in planning and imaging help speed things up.

Is implant placement painful?

+

Most patients report mild discomfort—less than a tooth extraction. We offer sedation and pain control to ensure comfort.

Will my dental insurance help pay for implants?

+

Not usually—most implant procedures are considered elective. We offer flexible financing to make treatment more affordable.

Do I need a bone graft or sinus lift?

+

Only if your jawbone lacks adequate volume. Our CT scans clarify this, and grafting can rebuild your bone foundation.

Can implants fail?

+

Rarely. With good health and oral hygiene, implants have a 95–98% success rate. Smoking and uncontrolled conditions like diabetes may raise risk.

What about eating during treatment?

+

You can eat soft foods after placement. Once fully healed, you can enjoy all the foods you love—with no restrictions.

How do I clean my implants?

+

Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit us every six months. We may also recommend specialized tools to help.

How long do implants last?

+

With good care, implants can last 20 years or more—even a lifetime. The crown or denture may need replacement in 10–15 years.

Is senior age a problem for implants?

+

Not at all. With healthy gums and bone, patients of any adult age can get implants. Age alone is not a barrier.

Can you replace all my teeth with implants?

+

Yes—options like All‑on‑4 use just four implants to secure a full arch. We’ll design a plan based on your jaw, bite, and goals.
