Missing teeth can make eating and speaking difficult and affect your confidence. A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, and the restoration on top of it — a crown, bridge or denture — is the part you see and chew with.
At Master Dental & Orthodontics in Ocoee, FL, Dr. Rose restores dental implants. When an implant needs to be placed surgically, we coordinate that step with a trusted local periodontist and stay involved throughout your treatment.
Dr. Rose examines your mouth, reviews your oral health history and your goals, and determines whether an implant restoration is right for you.
If you need extractions, bone grafting or gum treatment before an implant, that care is arranged first.
Implant placement is an outpatient surgical procedure carried out by the periodontist we refer to. We share your records and treatment plan so nothing is repeated and nothing is missed.
The implant fuses to the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Healing times vary and commonly take three to six months.
An abutment connects your restoration to the implant. We take digital impressions to craft your custom crown, bridge or denture, so there is no putty tray.
Dr. Rose secures your finished crown, bridge or denture to the implant here at our Ocoee office.
For a single missing tooth, a crown on an implant fills the gap and restores chewing function.
An implant-supported bridge can replace several missing teeth in a row.
Implant-supported dentures replace most or all missing teeth along one or both arches.
Because the restoration attaches to the implant in the bone, it does not slip while you eat or speak.
An implant restoration can let you eat and speak comfortably again.
An implant gives the jawbone stimulation that the natural tooth root once provided, which helps limit bone loss in that area.
Several factors matter. You may be a good candidate if you:
Dr. Rose will tell you plainly whether an implant restoration is the right option for you, and what the alternatives are.
Cost depends on how many implants are involved, the type of restoration, and any preparatory treatment you need. We provide a written estimate after your consultation, and we verify your insurance coverage and benefits before treatment begins.
With good care and regular check-ups, a crown, bridge or denture on an implant commonly lasts ten years or longer before it needs replacing.
