Dental Implants In Winter Park
Dental implants are about more than just replacing missing teeth—they’re about restoring your confidence, your smile, and your ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Imagine eating all the foods you love, speaking naturally, and feeling like yourself again. There’s truly nothing like reclaiming what was originally given to us.
Why should I choose dental implants?
With over 15 years of experience placing dental implants, we know what it takes to deliver results that last. Implants aren’t just about replacing missing teeth, they’re about restoring your confidence, health, and quality of life. Anchored securely to the jawbone, implants function just like natural teeth, helping you eat, speak, and smile without hesitation while preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure. We use only the highest quality materials and proven techniques to ensure every implant is strong, stable, and built to last. If you're ready for a permanent solution that feels truly life-changing, dental implants are the gold standard.

Implant-Retained Dentures Available
If traditional removable dentures don’t feel like the right match for your lifestyle, you’re not alone. For a more stable and lasting solution, Dr. Gonzalez may recommend permanent implant-supported dentures. These advanced restorations are securely attached using dental implants, offering a natural feel and function. Because they stay firmly in place, fixed implant dentures allow you to speak and enjoy meals without the worry of shifting or slipping. They’re a popular choice for patients looking for more freedom and confidence in their everyday routine.
We offer several custom solutions for permanent implant dentures, including:
- All-on-X systems
- Hybrid dentures
- Implant-retained prosthetics

The Implant Treatment Process
Placement
Once we've confirmed your treatment plan, we'll schedule your procedure and walk you through exactly what to expect. During the surgery, we make a precise incision in your gum and carefully place the dental implant into your jawbone. We then clean the area and apply sutures to promote healing. This sets the foundation for your new tooth.
Healing & Osseointegration
Healing begins right after implant placement. The incision typically heals within 1-2 weeks, but full integration of the implant with your jawbone (called osseointegration) takes about 3-6 months. We'll schedule check-ups during this time to ensure everything is healing properly.
Applying the Restoration
The final step is adding your custom crown. We create a dental crown designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, which is then securely attached to an abutment on your implant. With this complete, your smile is fully restored!

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
A single tooth implant is a modern solution for replacing a missing tooth. It consists of a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone and a custom-made crown attached to it. Unlike removable options like partial dentures, implants are permanently fixed, offering stability and comfort that feels just like your natural teeth.
Dental implants combine precision engineering with customization. The implant post is made from medical-grade titanium and comes in various standard sizes. The crown, however, is custom-made specifically for you. We either create it in-house using advanced technology or work with a specialized lab. The crown is typically made from porcelain for its natural appearance and strength. Once ready, we carefully attach it to your implant, completing your restoration.
With proper placement and care, dental implants can last for decades. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement over time due to normal wear and tear, but the implant itself often lasts a lifetime. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor everything and address any issues early.
While uncommon, dental implants can develop an infection called peri-implantitis. This typically happens if proper oral hygiene isn't maintained. To minimize this risk, it's important to follow post-operative care instructions and maintain good oral hygiene practices.
Yes! When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area starts to deteriorate from lack of stimulation. An implant acts like an artificial tooth root, transmitting chewing forces to the jawbone. This stimulation maintains bone density and strength, much like a natural tooth would.
In some cases, you can receive a dental implant and temporary restoration in a single day. This depends on your specific situation and the type of implant best suited for you. The temporary restoration allows for normal function while your implant heals. We'll schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and create your permanent crown. A consultation will help us determine the best approach for your needs.
The overall cost of your treatment can vary based on several personal factors, such as:
- The specific type of denture system you select
- Any necessary preparation or additional procedures
- The details of your dental insurance plan
