What is a Dental Implant?

Often misunderstood, a dental implant in Naples, FL is simply an artificial tooth root that holds a replacement tooth where your natural tooth once was. Made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses naturally to your jawbone, a dental implant permanently replaces the root of the dead, damaged or diseased tooth. Since dental implants replace the tooth root, they are uniquely able to:

  • Replace one or more teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
  • Support a bridge without the need for a removable partial denture
  • Support a denture to make it more secure and comfortable

Dental Implant Restoration

If you are having difficulty with your dental implants, it is critical that you have your implant examined right away and that you do not try to self-diagnose the problem. At BayView Dental Arts our professional Naples dental implant team has the tools and experience to make your smile whole again in several easy, reliable steps. We provide among the best dental implants in Naples, replacing those that have become loose, discolored or otherwise affected.

They made me feel very comfortable with their willingness to take time to explain everything. I had a root canal in an hour with no pain and very little discomfort afterwards. The office was clean and everyone was nice and helpful. Sara R.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, a full upper, full lower or a complete set of teeth. If you need to restore a full arch, you may be a perfect candidate for the full mouth treatment.

    Have a generally healthy mouth and oral tissues

Cost OfDental Implants

Cost of dental implant in Naples include the implant itself, the abutment (the metal connector that attaches the implant to the bone), the surgery and the crown. The cost of dental implants varies depending on a number of factors, most significantly the number of teeth you are replacing. The average cost of a single tooth implant ranges between $3,000 to $4,500. To replace all your top or bottom teeth, the cost can be from $15,000 to $30,000.

Keep in mind that you may require diagnostic imaging during your first visit. This is an important step to ensure the dental implants are installed successfully. In other cases, you may need to undergo general anesthetic while receiving treatment. You will be asleep during the treatment and the anesthesia and anesthesiologist can impact the cost of the procedure.

What is the BayView approach?

The artificial tooth that is attached to the implant is fabricated at BayView Dental Arts by one of our prosthodontists, a dentist specifically trained to fabricate and place dental implants.

Both Dr. Hedgepath and Dr. Scherder utilize CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing), to fabricate a custom fit restoration or implant crown and in most cases can be placed in one visit allowing the patient to see the design process and leave with a fully restored and beautiful smile.
