Dental Implants
Strong Replacement Teeth for Miami Residents
Dental Implants are often misunderstood and can be controversial. They are not for everyone and certainly not a cure-all. Nevertheless, if you are a candidate and your needs require them, they are an extremely viable solution. With this technology, we can replace a single tooth or an entire set of teeth. Dr. Nilo Hernandez is highly trained in dental implants, and he has appeared in several dental journals and magazines for his work.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that serve as artificial tooth roots. Titanium is a biocompatible material that has been used in the medical field for many years. Over time, the jawbone fuses to the titanium, creating a solid foundation to which the dentist secures a custom crown, bridge, or denture.
What does the implant procedure involve?
The process will be based on your unique needs. During the first visit, we typically discuss medical history and perform a thorough exam. With the information we gather, we will develop a treatment plan that addresses all areas of concerns. At your second visit, we will present your options. Some patients require pre-operatory procedures to enable them for dental implants.
We may recommend same-day dental implants, also called "teeth in a day." Dr. Hernandez will determine if you're a candidate for same-day dental implants at your initial consultation.
Implant Dentistry: Mimicking Nature's Intention
Dental implants have come a long way since they were first developed over 50 years ago. In the beginning, implant dentistry was a technique reserved for the few, risky patients willing to try something new and adventurous.
Today, implant dentistry is widely accepted as the standard for quality dental care in America. Patients have the right to know all of their options, implant dentistry being one. Knowing all of the options also means having a dental team committed to education, training, and the ability to deliver this knowledge in a manner that benefits the patient.
We have the ability to return a patient to the chewing, smiling, and functioning style they always had prior to missing their teeth. Whether it is one missing tooth or an entire mouth, implant dentistry can facilitate an answer for your concern.
