Dental Implants in Jacksonville, Orange Park, & Starke, FL
A dental implant is an artificial root upon which a manufactured tooth can be placed. Implants are used to support the replacement of a single tooth, multiple teeth, or larger prostheses such as dentures, depending on the individual’s requirements and condition. Placement of the implant stabilizes bone levels and may prevent bone loss, resulting in greater long-term support, function, and esthetics. Implants are a superior way to replace missing teeth, as they do not require alteration of adjacent teeth. They are also an excellent way to stabilize a denture. At Normandy Lake, we offer dental sedation for all treatments so you have a relaxing visit, every time.

Types of Dental Implants
Single Dental Implants

Single implants help maintain your natural face shape and smile. They allow you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
This procedure involves placing four implants to act as a stable foundation for a full arch of prosthetic teeth. All-on-4 implants are fixed in place, offering a permanent secure fit that enhances the function and appearance of your teeth. With All-on-4, you can eat your favorite foods and speak clearly, without worrying about dentures slipping.
Implant-Supported Dentures and Partials

A discussion about Dental Implants with Dr. Lee
-
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. It’s essentially a small titanium post that’s surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a strong foundation for a replacement tooth, like a crown or bridge. Dental implants are one of the most effective ways to restore functionality and aesthetics.
-
What makes dental implants different from other tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges?
The biggest difference is that implants are permanent and act just like natural teeth. With dentures, patients often experience slipping, discomfort, or difficulty eating certain foods. Bridges rely on adjacent teeth for support, which can weaken those teeth over time. Implants, on the other hand, integrate into the jawbone and don’t impact surrounding teeth. They provide a much more natural look and feel.
-
How long does the dental implant process take?
The entire process usually takes a few months. After the initial placement of the implant, there’s a healing period of a few weeks to several months, depending on the individual. During this time, the implant integrates with the bone. Once healing is complete, we place the custom crown or bridge. It’s a bit of a time investment, but the results are worth it.
-
Are dental implants a cost-effective solution?
While the upfront cost of implants may be higher than other options, they’re often more cost-effective in the long run. Implants can last a lifetime with proper care, whereas dentures and bridges often need to be replaced or repaired. Plus, implants help preserve the bone structure of your jaw, preventing further dental issues down the road.
-
