Skip to content Dental Implants in Melbourne, FL - Restore Your Smile Permanently at Gentle Dental
If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants at Gentle Dental Associates in Melbourne, FL, may be the long-term solution you’ve been searching for. Implants restore both the appearance and function of your smile while supporting long-term oral health. Our expert team is dedicated to providing reliable, personalized care, backed by the latest dental technology.
What Are Dental Implants? Your Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are titanium posts placed into your jawbone to act as sturdy anchors for replacement teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants are designed to mimic the natural structure of a tooth from root to crown for a secure, lasting solution.
Key Benefits of Dental Implants
- Restore your natural smile and chewing function
- Support facial structure and prevent bone loss
- Offer a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution
- Improve speech clarity and bite stability
- Help preserve nearby healthy teeth
The Advantages of Choosing Dental Implants Over Other Tooth Replacement Options
Dental implants offer several advantages compared to traditional restorations:
- Durability: With proper care, implants can last 20+ years
- Aesthetics: Look and feel like natural teeth
- Comfort: No slipping or discomfort like removable dentures
- Jawbone health: Stimulate bone to prevent resorption over time
These benefits make dental implants in Melbourne, FL, one of the most trusted and effective solutions for missing teeth.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Implants are ideal for many adults who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease.
Ideal Candidate Profile and Bone Grafting Solutions

- Have good general and oral health
- Are a non-smoker or willing to give up smoking during healing

- Are looking for a permanent alternative to dentures or bridges

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of dental implants varies based on factors such as the number of teeth being replaced, the type of restoration, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required. At Gentle Dental Associates, we provide a personalized treatment plan and a detailed cost estimate during your consultation, along with flexible financing options to fit your budget.
Full mouth dental implants use 4–6 implants and a custom prosthesis to replace all teeth in an arch. They are ideal for those with extensive tooth loss or ill-fitting dentures.
In many cases, implants can be placed immediately after extraction or after the site heals, depending on your bone health.
We provide financing options for all implant treatments to make care accessible and budget-friendly.
