Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent and natural-looking solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. At the South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery (SFIOS), our board-certified oral surgeons specialize in placing dental implants with precision and care. Utilizing advanced technology, such as Cone Beam 3D Imaging, we ensure precise placement and long-lasting results. Dental implants consist of titanium posts that fuse with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This procedure not only restores your smile but also enhances your oral health by preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure. Whether you need to replace one tooth or multiple teeth, our team is here to guide you through the process with comfort and confidence.
