Find A Good Dental Implant Dentist in Fort Lauderdale

Seeking the best dental implant dentist or periodontist in Fort Lauderdale?

There are a few ways to go about your search.

First, you can start with your general dentist and ask them for the name of the best specialist in your area. Most dentists know periodontists or other specialists and can refer you.

You can always do Google Searches too and look for online reviews from other patients.

Once you have a list of doctors that provide implants and implant surgery, you’ll want to ask how many they do per day, week or month.

You’ll want someone who has a lot of experience — someone who has performed a few hundred implant procedures for example. This would ensure they have a lot of experience.

Importantly, you can ask for a few patient names to call and ask for references. The dentist should be more than willing to share this information with you. It’s also acceptable to ask to see patient photos for past surgeries.

The Broward Center in Ft. Lauderdale focuses on Dental Implants

At the Broward Center for Laser Periodontics and Implants, Dr. Nick DeTure and his staff are using the latest technology to make dental implant procedures essentially ‘pain-free’ for patients.

This is a big change from the ‘old days’ when the prospect of getting implants would deter patients from taking action. Things are different now as advances in periodontal procedures have made the overall experience for the patient tremendously better, easier, more accurate and relatively pain free.

What does that mean for you, our patient? It means that dental implants are no longer a ‘blind procedure’. In the old days (which was not that long ago really), specialists didn’t know exactly what they were getting into before starting surgery.

“But by using new technology, our office can offer faster healing, less downtime, less post-operative pain, better placement of the implants and more accuracy. That means a better, more natural end results so people don’t know you have dental implants. That’s great for you and great for all of our patients!”

Dental Implants Are Changing The Way People in Ft. Lauderdale Live.

common questions for a ft. lauderdale periodontist

Dental implants are changing the way people live – and that’s good news for people in Ft. Lauderdale and Deerfield Beach and other parts of Broward County.

With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. The simple fact is that when you have problems with your teeth and gums, it really can affect many parts of your daily life. Issues with talking, eating and the associated self-conciousness that comes with knowing there is a consistent problem can be unsettling.

Why is That?

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

Remind me Again, What Exactly Are Implants?

An implant is a metal anchor that is placed in the jawbone. Once integrated with your bone, the implant can be used to support a crown, a bridge or secure a removable appliance.

The dental implants used by most dentists and dental specialists are root-form implants, which means that they are used to replace natural tooth roots in areas of the mouth where teeth are missing. Dental implants provide an exciting option for people missing some or all of their teeth.

And the Benefits?

Dental implants look, feel and function like natural teeth and offer a tremendous improvement in comfort, speech, eating and convenience over conventional partial and full dentures.

More Info on Getting Dental Implants in Fort Lauderdale

Our Fort Lauderdale patients ask us all the time about getting dental implants. Here is some quick information for you.

If you lose one or more teeth due to periodontal disease (gum disease) – or for a host of other reasons – you’re in luck because dental implants are changing the way people recover from missing teeth.

And while dental implants have been around for a number of years, the advances in implants within the last 5-10 years has really changed – dental implants now are great products that offer a great solution for many people.

What is an Implant?

An implant is a metal anchor that is placed in the jawbone. It’s secure and acts as a foundation to support replacement teeth by using crowns, bridges or it can be used to secure a removable appliance.

The best part? These days, replacement teeth will look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Once you have the implants and replacement teeth put in, no one will know you have them.

The dental implants used by most dentists and dental specialists are “root-form implants”. That means that they are used to replace natural tooth roots in areas of the mouth where teeth are missing.

There are many benefits to having dental implants. When teeth are lost, ongoing shrinkage of the jawbone occurs, which can cause the face to look older. This shrinkage can also make the correct fit of a partial or full denture difficult. Placing implants can slow or stop this process. Dental implants also offer a tremendous improvement in comfort, speech ability, eating and convenience over conventional partial and full dentures.

Why Should You Replace Missing Teeth

The American Academy of Periodontology explains it pretty well…”There are actually several negative consequences of missing some or all of your teeth. First, missing teeth will affect the esthetics of your face.

Not only will your smile be affected by the gaps from missing teeth, but if you’re missing too many teeth, the skin around your mouth won’t be supported properly and will start to sag, making your appear older than you are. Additionally, missing teeth will make it more difficult to chew your food properly and may even affect the way you speak. Finally, missing even one tooth may have emotional consequences; many people feel less confident about their smile when they are missing teeth.

If you are currently missing any of your teeth, consider replacing them with dental implants, which can look and feel just like natural teeth.”
