South Florida Dental Implant Dentist

Dr. Rifkin is one of the most experienced south Florida dental implant dentists in the area.

Dental implants are made of various bio-materials, usually titanium. These are surgically placed into the jawbone to anchor permanent replacement teeth. Replacement teeth are then attached to the part of the implant that projects from the gums. These systems are very successful and can last a lifetime.

The first step is the surgical placement of the implant into the bone. Nowadays, this is almost always done in the dental office, under local anesthesia. Discomfort is minimal, post-operatively, and the implants are fully integrated (attached) to the bone in as little as two months.

The second step is the restorative phase. Abutments are attached to the implants, with no anesthetic necessary. These abutments will support and retain the final prosthesis. The overall end is dental technology at its finest and most advanced, resulting in optimal comfort for you for many years!

What are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

Dental implants replace your missing tooth and help eliminate you sense of self-confidence when you chew, talk , or eat in public. Implants will give retention and stability to dentures, thus preventing sores or clicking noises when you talk. Implants eliminate the need to grind down adjacent natural teeth for bridgework, and can eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
