Dental Implants For A Confident New Smile

At Strickland Family Dentistry in Sarasota, we know that dental implants are one of the most versatile and effective treatments available for restoring missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges that need replacing over time, they offer a more permanent solution to missing teeth, they help preserve a patient’s jawbone density, prevent facial collapse, and allow patients to regain their speaking and chewing function.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes! Studies show that implant success rates can exceed 90% when inserted by an experienced dentist, and that they have the potential to look and feel great decades after being placed.

How long does the implantation process take?

Once it’s been determined that you’re a candidate for this procedure, we’ll book an appointment to place the implant in your jawbone. We’ll then allow the post a series of months to heal, at which time it will integrate with the surrounding bone and tissue. Once this process is complete, we’ll schedule another appointment to check its progress and begin the process of create a dental crown to top your implant and restore your chewing and speaking function.

Who can benefit from dental implants?

Most patients who are missing one or more teeth are likely to benefit from dental implants. However, some patients may not be good candidates because of certain medical conditions, lifestyle habits, or oral health conditions. It’s important to discuss your individual case with our qualified dentist before considering any treatment.
