Signature Smiles of St. Pete team provides comprehensive dental implant treatments to help you achieve a healthy and complete smile. Dental implants are a modern and long-term solution to replace missing teeth. They consist of biocompatible devices that are placed into the bone, next to your natural teeth, providing a sturdy foundation for prosthetic restorations like crowns, bridges, or All-on-4 restorations. 


Unlike other popular tooth replacements, dental implants are the only solution that mimics the look and feel of anatomical teeth. 

Single-Tooth Implants Can Save Your Smile

Losing a single tooth can have a significant impact on your smile and confidence. Fortunately, single-tooth implants offer an excellent solution. Our skilled implant dentists will carefully assess your situation and design a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. By placing a single implant and attaching a custom dental crown on top of it, we can restore your smile's aesthetics and functionality, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants in St. Petersburg

For patients who are missing several or all of their teeth, we offer innovative All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implant solutions. These techniques utilize as few as four or six implants respectively, to support a full arch prosthesis. This approach maximizes stability and minimizes the number of implants required, reducing treatment time and cost. With All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implants, you can enjoy the benefits of a complete smile, improved chewing ability, and enhanced facial aesthetics.

The Dental Implant Process

At Signature Smiles of St. Pete, we strive to provide a seamless and comfortable experience throughout your dental implant journey. The process typically involves the following steps:

Initial Consultation and Treatment Planning

During your first visit, our implant providers will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental implants are the right option for you. We will also take X-rays or use advanced imaging technology to assess your jawbone structure.


Next, our team will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines the number of implants needed, the type of restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) recommended, and any additional procedures required, such as bone grafting or extraction

Implant Placement

The next step involves surgically placing the implants. Our skilled implant dentist will carefully position the implants for optimal function and aesthetics. Local anesthesia or sedation options are available to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. In some cases, same-day implant installation is available. 

Osseointegration

After implant placement, a healing period of several months is usually recommended for the implants to properly fuse with the surrounding jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures the stability and longevity of the implants.


Restoration

Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, we will attach the custom-made prosthetic restorations (such as crowns or hybrid appliances) to the top of your implants, via abutments. These restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a beautiful and functional smile.

Are Same Day Dental Implants Available?

In some cases, yes. However, it’s important that you work with an expertly trained implant provider as same-day dental implants should only be performed on a case-by-case basis. Dr. Vanman has over 300 hours of training in dental implant methodology, including same-day implant placement. If you are considering this treatment, we recommend meeting with him to discuss your candidacy and implant options.
