Dental Implants
Even though dental implants have been widely available for over three decades, many patients are still unaware of the many benefits they offer. Implants are titanium alloy posts that are inserted into the jaw where teeth are missing and act as a tooth root substitute.
Dental implants can give you an attractive and healthy smile, rebuild confidence and self-esteem and help you enjoy your favorite foods again. With innovative regeneration procedures such as bone and sinus grafting, you may even be a viable candidate for dental implants if you have lost significant facial bone or are a longtime denture wearer. At Coastal Jaw Surgery, we offer state-of-the-art dental implant expertise. Our founder, Michael A. Pikos, is a nationally recognized leader in dental implant surgery who has conducted research, lectured and taught on dental implant procedures. Dr. Pikos and his fellow board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons at Coastal Jaw Surgery have performed many thousands of implant procedures and have achieved excellent results for more than two decades, both clinically and cosmetically.
Our doctors use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools when planning dental implant surgery, including cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT). This data, along with state-of-the-art software, is used to develop your customized treatment plan. Prior to implant surgery, your CBCT scan is used to simulate implant surgery at the precise location, angle and depth required for long-term implant success. Our doctors perform dental implant surgery using piezo ultrasonic and radiofrequency technologies, both of which offer exceptional results and a pleasant recovery.
Coastal Jaw Surgery uses FDA-approved titanium implants from some of the leading manufacturers in the world. Dental implants can be used to replace one tooth or several teeth; they also stabilize dentures and increase chewing strength. Implantology is based on “osseointegration,” which is an incredibly strong bonding of titanium and other materials to the surrounding bone. Dental implants are strong, stable, long-lasting, comfortable and allow for improved quality of life. We are conveniently located in Palm Harbor, Trinity and Spring Hill, Florida also serving the Tampa Bay area.
