More Reasons to Choose Dental Implants
Improve Your Oral Health
A missing tooth can disrupt the positions of adjacent teeth, upsetting your alignment, destabilizing your bite, and increasing your risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Implants can prevent these painful side effects.
Maintain a Youthful Appearance
Losing teeth can also permanently change your facial appearance. When tooth roots are no longer present, the jawbone begins to shrink, leading to hollowed cheeks, sunken lips, and wrinkles around the mouth. Because dental implants replace tooth roots, you will be able to retain your bone structure and a more youthful facial appearance.
Eat a Better Diet
Even the loss of one tooth can alter the way you bite and chew your food, potentially leading to changes in your diet. Because implants are fixed in the jawbone, you will be able to confidently chew all the fibrous, nutritious foods that pose a challenge with traditional dentures.
Experience Unbeatable Convenience
Traditional dentures and bridges are removable and require additional daily maintenance. With implants, you do not have to worry about cleaning your restorations after meals, soaking them overnight, or using messy dental adhesives. You simply care for implants like you would your natural teeth.

Another Great Review From Carrollwood
"What an AMAZING experience. From the time I arrived to the moment I was released, the attention I received was second to none. I couldn't tell if I was at a Dental office or a Spa. They always made sure I was comfortable. Everything, from my procedure to the financing, was explained in great detail." Carmelo Gonzalez, 5-Star Google Review from 2024
Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
At Tampa Dental Wellness , the cost of dental implants can vary significantly from case to case. The cost of treatment will depend on a number of factors, including:
The Number of Implants
The cost of your treatment will depend heavily on the extent of your tooth loss. Replacing one missing tooth with a single implant and crown will cost much less than replacing all of your teeth with a full set of implant-supported dentures.
Preparatory Procedures
Some patients may require bone grafting to restore the density of the jaw prior to implant treatment. In other cases, sinus augmentation surgery may be needed before a patient can be eligible for dental implants. Tooth extraction may also be required to remove severely decayed or damaged teeth. Preparatory work will increase the total cost of treatment.
Sedation
Sedation is recommended for implant procedures as they can be longer and require patients to sit still. Sedation dentistry can make your visit easier and more comfortable. The level of sedation or anesthesia you desire for your procedure will affect the overall cost of treatment. We offer all forms of sedation dentistry , including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and intravenous (IV) sedation.
Invest in Yourself With Dental Implants
Not only are dental implants the most comfortable and natural-feeling form of tooth replacement, but they are also the most permanent. In most cases, implants last a lifetime, and implant-supported prosthetics are good for well over a decade. Therefore, while dental implants cost more upfront than traditional dentures, the longevity of implants can make them a smarter financial investment.
But more importantly, implants are truly life-changing, simplifying your daily routine, increasing your self-confidence, and promoting a more enjoyable quality of life. Consider implants not only an investment in your oral health, but also an investment in yourself.

Dental Implant Timeline
