Your Complete Guide to Dental Implants: From Procedure to Aftercare

At Miami Designer Smiles, we understand the impact that a healthy smile can have on your quality of life. That’s why we offer dental implants, a long-term solution to replace missing teeth and revive your beautiful smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant consists of a metal screw that is surgically placed into the bone of the jaw, acting as the root of the replacement tooth. This screw is then covered with a natural-looking crown, giving the illusion of a natural tooth.

Dental implants are a remarkable solution not only because they look and feel like natural teeth, but also because they function like them. This means you can eat and speak normally.

Dr. Concepcion Sanchez-Garcia and Dr. Raul Garcia — our highly skilled dentists at Miami Designer Smiles — are here to guide you through the process from start to finish.

The Procedure for Dental Implants

Consultation

First, you will undergo a consultation where Dr. Raul Garcia or Dr. Concepcion Sanchez-Garcia will assess your oral health to ensure that you are a good candidate for dental implants.

Placement

During the procedure, a small incision is made in the gum where the implant will be placed. The dentist then drills a hole into the bone and inserts the implant.

Healing Period

After the procedure, a healing period of several months is usually necessary for the implant to integrate fully with the jawbone.

Placement of Crown

Once the healing process is complete, a crown designed to match your natural teeth will be attached to the implant, completing the procedure.

Aftercare for Dental Implants

Aftercare is crucial to the durability of the dental implant. Here are some tips:

  • Create a regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing.
  • Regularly visit Miami Designer Smiles for check-ups and cleanings.
  • Avoid excessively hard or sticky foods that could damage the implant.
