More About Dental Implants
A missing tooth has a way of following you around, from the hesitation before a steak dinner to the closed-mouth smile in family photos. Dental implants can change that by replacing the tooth from the root up with a restoration shaped to blend with the surrounding teeth.
At Boca Dental Wellness, Dr. Joshua Gold, a prosthodontist and general dentist, plans every implant case with careful precision. As part of our comprehensive dental services in Boca Raton, implants give you a sturdy, natural-looking way to fill the gap, and our team walks you through each step in plain language.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant is a small post placed in your jawbone to act as a new tooth root. After the area heals, we attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture to the post, so the finished restoration rests on a solid foundation.
Because the implant anchors in bone, neighboring teeth do not have to carry the load. Implants may also help support the bone beneath them, helping your smile hold its natural shape over time. We explain each stage before treatment begins, so you always know what comes next.
Implant Options We Offer in Boca Raton
Every smile is different, and your plan depends on how many teeth you are missing and where they sit. The main ways we use implants to restore function and appearance include:
- Single-tooth implants: Replace one missing tooth with an implant and a custom dental crown, leaving the adjacent teeth untouched.
- Implant bridges: Replace several missing teeth in a row with an implant-supported dental bridge.
- Implant-retained dentures: Anchor a denture to implants for added stability when you’re missing many or all of your teeth.
- Custom abutments: Connect each implant to its restoration with a custom-shaped piece that fits your tooth and gum line.
When you’re missing most or all of your teeth, we may recommend implant-retained dentures or a broader full-mouth reconstruction plan. Dr. Gold reviews each option with you so the final choice fits your goals and your comfort.
Your Implant Care Plan
Good implant care starts with a conversation about your goals, your health, and how you want to feel in the chair.
Your Consultation and Planning
Dr. Gold reviews your health history and examines your mouth, then uses advanced technology, including 3D and intraoral scanners, to map out your treatment. If a damaged tooth needs extraction first, we cover that step upfront. For advanced surgical needs such as sinus lifts, we coordinate with trusted oral surgeons and stay involved, so you are never left to sort out the details alone.
Placement and Healing
We aim for a pain-free, low-anxiety experience, using a range of techniques and technology to keep you relaxed at every visit. Healing time varies from person to person, so we tailor your schedule to your needs before your final restoration is placed.
Long-Term Results and Follow-Up Care
Research supports the lasting value of implants. A 2024 meta-analysis of 20-year implant survival reported 92 percent survival in prospective studies and 88 percent in retrospective studies, while stressing the need for lifelong follow-up care. We encourage regular check-ups so we can monitor your implants and the surrounding tissue. Individual results vary.

Common Questions
- A local anesthetic will be administered to numb the area where the implant will be placed. To add to your comfort, you may also choose nitrous oxide or IV sedation.
- Once you are comfortable, the surgeon will use special instruments to insert a titanium implant into the jaw bone.
- Healing time depends on the quality and quantity of bone mass, as well as gum health. Once the bone and gum tissue have healed, you will receive your permanent crown.
When you are missing a tooth, the jaw bone that once held the tooth roots in place may thin. In this case, you may require a bone graft prior to implant placement. Bone grafting reinforces the jaw structure, eventually preparing it to hold and stabilize the implant.
The longer the cavity that was once occupied by the roots of your tooth goes unfilled, the greater the chances the bone structure will weaken. For this reason, we recommend seeking dental implant treatment sooner rather than later.
We strive to...
Every visit at Boca Dental Wellness centers on four goals:
Treat each patient’s individual and specific needs
Offer the latest in cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry
Educate and encourage you to prevent oral disease
Challenge ourselves and our team to be the best
These goals guide how we plan your care, from your first exam to your final restoration.
