What You Need To Know
Dental Implants
You certainly don't hope to lose your teeth as you age, but for many adults throughout Tampa Bay, living with an incomplete set of teeth is a reality. Missing teeth can make simple, daily activities difficult and painful, diminishing your quality of life. This is why Dr. Jaime Estrada and his team offer premier dental implant solutions.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants replace missing teeth with durable alternatives that look just like natural teeth. The process begins with installing a small titanium screw into the jawbone, which replaces the missing tooth root and fuses with the bone to become a permanent part of the mouth. After it has healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, restoring the tooth's appearance and function.
Restore Your Smile Permanently
Unlike other tooth replacement methods, dental implants allow you to smile, laugh, chew, talk, and enjoy everyday activities without difficulty. Your implants will look and feel so natural that you'll forget you ever had missing teeth. The permanence of implants gives you the freedom to enjoy your life without any second-guessing.
All-on-4® Implants
The All-on-4® implant treatment offers a revolutionary solution for patients needing full-mouth restoration, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. The procedure uses just four implants: two straight anterior implants in the front of the mouth and two posterior implants tilted at an angle in the back. A fixed provisional bridge is then attached to the implants, providing immediate function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.
Most adults with good general health are candidates for dental implants. Adequate bone density is required, though bone grafting can help patients who have experienced bone loss.
The implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the surgery. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
