Restore Your Smile Permanently with Gentle Dental Associates
Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile. At Gentle Dental Associates, we offer dental implants in Melbourne, FL, as a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several teeth, implants provide the strength, stability, and natural appearance you need to regain full confidence in your smile.
Take the First Step Toward a Lasting Smile
Permanent solutions start with a consultation. Let our team show you how implant dentistry can restore both function and aesthetics for years to come.
What are Dental Implants?
An implant is a small titanium or ceramic post that replaces a tooth’s root. Once placed in the jawbone, they form a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Unlike traditional bridges or removable dentures, implants provide a stable and natural-looking permanent tooth replacement that mimics your natural teeth, offering a comfortable and natural smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
Implants offer many advantages compared to other restorative options:
- Restores chewing ability with long-lasting strength
- Prevents bone loss by stimulating the jawbone
- Improves speech by filling gaps and stabilizing restorations
- Enhances appearance with a natural, seamless smile
- Provides a smile restoration that can last decades with proper care
- Eliminates the need for adhesives or removable appliances
How Dental Implant Treatment Works
At Gentle Dental Associates, implant treatment is carefully planned and customized to your needs. The process typically includes:
- Consultation & Evaluation – We review your oral health and take digital imaging to assess bone strength.
- Implant Placement – A small post is surgically inserted into the jawbone to act as a new root.
- Healing & Integration – Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
- Abutment Placement – A small connector is added to support the final crown or bridge.
- Restoration – A custom crown or prosthetic is attached, completing your oral restoration.
It is a strong, natural-looking tooth replacement that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Before and After Care for Dental Implants
Before Treatment
Patients may need a consultation, X-rays, or bone grafting if the jawbone requires strengthening. In addition to reviewing your medical history, our team will provide pre-surgical instructions.
During Treatment
Local anesthesia or sedation ensures comfort during implant placement. Temporary restorations may be used while the implant heals.
After Treatment
Patients should eat soft foods, avoid smoking, and practice excellent oral hygiene while healing. A regular follow-up appointment ensures long-term success. As soon as the final crown or bridge is placed, proper brushing, flossing, and routine checkups will keep your implants healthy for decades.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
It is possible for implants to last up to 20 years with proper care, often a lifetime, making them a highly reliable form of tooth replacement.
Are implants painful to get?
A local anesthetic or sedation is used for the procedure. Most patients report mild discomfort afterward that can be managed with over-the-counter medication, ensuring a relatively pain-free experience.
Can implants replace multiple teeth?
Implants can support single crowns, bridges, or even full dentures for complete smile restoration.
Am I a candidate?
Most healthy adults are candidates, provided they have adequate bone density. Bone grafting can often prepare the jaw if needed.
