Dental Implants at Dr. Rosado & Associates, Miami, FL

Dental implants are just like your natural teeth. You can chew, bite, and speak without any difficulty. Implants are anchored securely in the jawbone, and unlike dentures that can slip, they do not cause discomfort. You can eat your favorite foods and speak clearly, without any worries.

Dental implants are made to function, look, and feel like natural teeth. Crowns are attached to implants that match your teeth in color, size, and shape. This ensures a natural and seamless appearance. It will restore your smile, boost your confidence, and allow you to smile proudly.

Implants can help to maintain your jawbone's health and the surrounding teeth. The jawbone can deteriorate when a tooth is missing due to a lack of stimulation. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone to stop bone loss. They also preserve your facial structure and prevent the sunken look often associated with missing teeth.

Durability is one of the greatest benefits of dental implants. With proper care, dental implants can last for a lifetime. Made from biocompatible, durable materials such as titanium, implants are a great investment for your oral and overall health.

Dental implants are a great solution for replacing teeth. They have a high rate of success. Thanks to advances in technology and technique, the implant process is now more predictable and effective. Dr. Rosado & Associates uses the latest technology to provide our patients with the best results.

The first step of the dental implant procedure is a consultation with Dr. Rosado. During this appointment, we will thoroughly examine your mouth, including x-rays and 3D imaging, and determine the best place for your implants. We will then discuss your dental health history, your overall health, and your treatment goals to develop a customized treatment plan.

Dr. Rosado will develop a treatment plan based on your consultation findings. This plan is tailored to meet your individual needs. This plan will detail the number of implants required, the type to be used, and any other procedures, such as sinus lifts or bone grafting, that may be needed. We will also review the costs and treatment timeline to ensure you are fully informed.

Bone grafting and sinus lifts are sometimes necessary to provide a stable foundation for implants. Bone grafting involves adding bone material in areas where the jawbones have deteriorated. A sinus lift involves raising the sinus floor so that there is enough room for the implant. These procedures are usually performed several months prior to the implant surgery to give enough time for healing.

The next step is to surgically place the implants. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, but sedation is available for those who need it. Dr. Rosado makes a small cut in the gum tissue, exposing the bone. He then places the titanium implant in the jawbone. The gum tissue is closed over the titanium implant, and the healing process takes several months for the implant to become integrated with the jawbone.

Dental implants fuse with the jawbone during the healing process, creating a stable foundation for the replacement teeth. This process is called osseointegration and typically takes three to six months. We will check your progress regularly during this period to ensure everything is healing correctly.

Once osseointegration has been completed, a small connector, called an abutment, is attached to the implants. The minor procedure involves opening the gums to expose the implant. The next step is attaching the abutment and letting the gum heal around the implant. The abutment is the point of attachment for the crown or replacement tooth.

The placement of the customized restoration is the final step in the process. Dr. Rosado takes impressions of the teeth in order to create a denture, bridge, or crown that is shaped, sized, and colored like your natural teeth. The restoration is attached securely to the abutment and completes your new smile.

You should follow Dr. Rosado’s post-operative instructions to ensure long-term success and proper healing. You should also maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental examinations. You should also avoid habits that can damage implants, such as smoking, chewing hard objects, or consuming alcohol.

Dental implants can last a lifetime if they are properly cared for. Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene are vital for your implants to remain healthy and long-lasting. Dr. Rosado will give you detailed instructions on maintaining your new smile.
