Considering Dental Implants?
A single missing tooth or several missing teeth can cause you hardships, both physically and emotionally. Your smile is an intimate part of your identity, therefore missing teeth can truly change your facial appearance and over time lead to a decline in your health and comfort. No matter how many teeth you are missing, dental implants are the best restorative solution. These permanent tooth replacements restore your health, aesthetics, and function. Dental implants are the most resilient tooth replacement option available. Our team at BayView Dental has placed thousands of dental implants in St. Petersburg, FL. We are committed to helping you achieve a new smile you’ll love that can finally last a lifetime.
The Characteristics of a Dental Implant
Dental implants are made up of three components—post, abutment, and restoration—that mimic the function of natural teeth. Secured in your jawbone, dental implants are one of the most versatile tooth replacements available, able to replace any number of missing teeth. This permanent solution requires the precision of a skilled implant dentist and advanced surgical technology to optimize the outcomes of your treatment and its long-term success. Our team routinely provides dental implant treatment across a variety of cases, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and high-quality materials for the best results. With our expertise, we can help you experience a life of health, function, and confidence with dental implants in St. Petersburg, FL.
Your Custom Dental Implant Options
Dental implants can support a single dental crown or a dental bridge to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. Dental implants can also be used to increase the stability of a modified denture, which snaps securely to the implants placed in the jawbone. For patients with many or all missing teeth, dental implants can permanently support a full, fixed bridge of artificial teeth. This solution makes it possible to eat any type of food with life-like, strong teeth. In all cases, dental implants improve your ability to eat comfortably, feel confident in a complete smile, and live an overall healthier and better quality of life.

Our Dental Implant Treatment Process
Your dental implant treatment at BayView Dental Associates is personalized to your specific oral health needs and smile goals. You’ll first complete a consultation with our implant dentist in St. Petersburg, FL, where we’ll discuss your dental and medical history, take digital x-rays, and create a custom treatment plan. Next, you’ll undergo surgery, which may involve tooth extractions and bone grafting along with dental implant placement. We use fully guided techniques for all our surgeries to ensure an efficient procedure, with exact and predictable results. You’ll be resting comfortably under sedation and remain pain-free during your surgery. In many cases, we’re able to attach a temporary tooth or set of teeth at this same appointment. As your mouth heals over the next three or more months, you’ll be able to eat comfortably and enjoy restored smile aesthetics until you receive your permanent, custom-made dental implant restoration.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options. Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not require healthy teeth to be present to support the restoration. Dental implants only need proper jawbone density to remain secure and strong, where they will in turn provide stimulation to keep the bone healthy. Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanently secured in your jawbone and act like artificial tooth roots (implant posts). They are permanently fixed and stable enough to restore over 99% of natural biting and chewing power. For this reason, implants are one of the preferred solutions and virtually all patients who come to BayView Dental are candidates for dental implants.
The Lasting Benefits of Dental Implants
- Dental function for proper biting and chewing
- Aesthetic restorations for a natural look and feel
- Complete smile makeover to dramatically boost confidence
- Improvements to oral health and physical health
- Significantly better overall quality of life
