There are several factors that can influence the cost of a dental implant. For example, you may need procedures before the implant such as a bone graft or sinus lift. Once the implant site is ready to go, the cost can range from $2,500 and up. This includes the implant, abutment, and crown. Since each situation is unique, we offer a complimentary dental implant evaluation. At that appointment we will go over the fees and details pertaining directly to you.

While we always advocate for saving teeth, there are instances where that is not possible. In these cases dental implants are the next best thing to having your natural tooth. A dental implant acts like a regular tooth. It preserves the bone in the jaw benefitting the structure of your face. Dental implants also help with chewing, prevent teeth drifting, and will help to create a healthy smile.

Most dental implants are successful. In rare events the bone may fail to fuse around the implant and it may need to be removed. Smoking may also contribute to implant failure. If you take time to care for your teeth, avoid damaging habits, and have regular dental cleanings most dental implants will last a lifetime.

Tooth loss can be devastating to your appearance, your confidence, and your oral health. At Advanced Dental Care, we urge our patients to consider replacement immediately after the loss of a tooth. The gap in your smile isn’t just unsightly; it also gives adjacent teeth room to shift out of place, resulting in tooth misalignment that may require orthodontic treatment to correct.There are several options for tooth replacement, but dental implants are the preferred method because they offer so many benefits. Unlike removable dentures or partials that sit on top of your gums, an implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in your jaw. As the site heals, the implant fuses itself securely to surrounding bone and tissue.This process creates stability and permanence that no other type of tooth replacement offers. After healing is complete, we restore function and appearance with a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on your specific needs.If you are interested in learning if you are a good candidate for dental implants, please call our Winter Springs, FL dental office. We will be happy to arrange a consultation with Dr. Young so he can evaluate your needs and recommend appropriate options. 

Having a dental implant placed is no different than any other dental procedure. Your gums will be numbed with local anesthesia. Typically implant patients do not report feeling anything during the procedure and post-operatively report very little to no discomfort.
