Losing a tooth does more than change your smile — the jawbone beneath begins to resorb, shrinking in density and height. A dental implant is the only tooth replacement that stops that bone loss entirely, replacing both the visible crown and the root it once rested on.
At Digital Aesthetic Dentistry in Baymeadows, Jacksonville, we manage your complete implant restoration in-house — from your iTero 3D digital scan and treatment plan through custom ceramic or zirconia implant crown fabrication and long-term monitoring. Surgical placement is handled by credentialed implant surgeons we trust.
Whether you’re missing a single tooth or have had a gap for years, your free implant consultation is the right first step.
There are faster and cheaper ways to address a missing tooth. There aren’t many that address it as completely — or as permanently — as a well-planned implant restoration.
Every implant restoration we plan begins with iTero 3D digital scanning, giving us an exact model of your bite, your bone structure, and the surrounding teeth. This level of detail means the final crown fits accurately from the first placement, with no adjustments, no temporary discomfort, and no guessing about shade or shape.
Our ceramic and zirconia implant crowns are shade-matched using digital color mapping to blend seamlessly with the teeth around them. The crown is custom-designed around your specific bite and jaw geometry.
Placing the crown is not the end, it's the beginning of long-term oversight. We assess gum tissue health, bone stability, and implant integration at every subsequent appointment. Catching any early signs of concern before they become problems is what protects your implant for decades.
We work with many major insurance providers including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Our team is happy to help verify your benefits and explain available financing options before your appointment.
Dental implant restoration is a multi-stage process. Here’s a clear picture of what each phase involves and what you can expect from us at every step.
Before any treatment begins, you need a clear picture of whether you’re a good candidate and what the process will realistically involve for your specific situation.
Your consultation begins with a comprehensive evaluation — digital X-rays, iTero scanning, and a review of your bone density and gum health to determine whether implant placement is appropriate. If bone grafting is needed first, we’ll explain that clearly and help you understand the timeline. You’ll leave the consultation with a specific plan.
The final crown is the visible part of your implant and it’s what determines how natural your new tooth looks and feels.
Once healing is complete, we securely attach your custom-made crown, carefully designed to match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth. The restoration is built for everyday biting and chewing, blends naturally with your smile, and is easy to care for with normal brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings. The end result is a tooth that looks comfortable, functional, and naturally part of your smile.
Osseointegration — the process by which the implant fuses with your bone — is what makes the result permanent.
When two or more adjacent teeth are missing, individual implants for each tooth aren’t always the most practical or cost-effective solution.
An implant-supported bridge uses two implant posts to anchor a fixed ceramic bridge that spans the gap — giving you a stable, non-removable restoration without requiring an implant for every missing tooth. This is a strong, natural-looking alternative to a traditional bridge that doesn’t require crowning healthy adjacent teeth to serve as anchors.
Dental implants don’t require the same interventions as natural teeth — but they do require the same level of care and professional oversight.
We include implant assessment in every routine check-up for patients with restorations placed at our practice. This includes evaluating the integrity of the crown, checking the health of the surrounding gum tissue, and reviewing any bone changes with digital X-rays. Early identification of peri-implantitis — inflammation around the implant — is critical to long-term success and something we monitor proactively.
Dental implants are ideal for patients who are missing one or more teeth and want a long-term, natural-looking replacement that feels secure and functions like a real tooth.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Even if you’ve experienced bone loss or have been missing teeth for many years, you may still qualify for treatment with additional planning or preparatory procedures. Every case begins with a comprehensive digital evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your situation.
The implant process takes time — and that’s a feature, not a flaw. Osseointegration, the process by which the implant fuses with your bone, is what makes the result permanent. Here’s what to expect at each stage.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, digital imaging, and a personalized treatment evaluation. We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Your implant is carefully placed by one of our trusted surgical partners. Over the following months, the area heals and the implant stabilizes within the jawbone while we monitor your progress throughout the process.
Once healing is complete, we place your custom-designed ceramic crown and make final adjustments for comfort, aesthetics, and bite function — restoring a smile that looks and feels natural.
Your complimentary implant consultation includes a comprehensive digital evaluation, personalized treatment recommendations, and a transparent cost breakdown — so you can fully understand your options before making any decisions.
A single dental implant restoration in Jacksonville — including the implant post, abutment, and custom ceramic crown — typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,000 depending on the complexity of the case, whether bone grafting is required, and the materials used. At Digital Aesthetic Dentistry, we provide a detailed, transparent cost breakdown at your consultation so you know exactly what’s involved before committing to anything. We also offer Cherry monthly payment plans that allow you to spread the cost over time — with no large upfront payment required.
Coverage for dental implants varies significantly by plan. Most standard dental insurance policies in Florida classify implants as an elective or major restorative procedure and provide limited coverage — though some plans do cover a portion of the crown or abutment. It’s worth calling your insurer before your consultation to understand your specific benefits. Our team can also help you verify your coverage and will provide a clear estimate of your out-of-pocket costs. For any remaining balance, Cherry financing is available.
With proper care and regular professional monitoring, dental implants can last 20 to 30 years — and in many cases, for a patient’s lifetime. The titanium post itself, once fully integrated with the jawbone, rarely fails in otherwise healthy patients. The ceramic crown on top typically lasts 15 to 20 years before showing wear, depending on your bite habits and home care routine. Patients who maintain regular check-ups, avoid biting very hard objects, and don’t smoke have the best long-term outcomes.
Most adults with a missing tooth and adequate bone density are good candidates for implant restoration. The key factors are sufficient jawbone volume to support the titanium post, healthy gum tissue, and no uncontrolled systemic conditions that could impair healing. If you’ve had bone loss since losing the tooth — which happens naturally over time when the root is absent — bone grafting may be needed first to build up the site. The only reliable way to determine candidacy is an evaluation with digital X-rays and a 3D scan, which we complete at your consultation.
The complete dental implant process — from consultation to final crown placement — typically takes four to nine months, with most of that time accounted for by the osseointegration period (three to six months) during which the implant post fuses with the jawbone. The surgical placement itself is usually a single appointment. The crown restoration, completed here at Digital Aesthetic Dentistry, follows once healing is confirmed. Patients who need bone grafting first should allow additional time before placement.
Not necessarily — though the longer a tooth has been missing, the more likely it is that some bone loss has occurred beneath it. Bone naturally resorbs when it no longer has a root to support. In many cases, bone grafting can rebuild the site to a level that supports a successful implant. The best way to find out where you stand is a consultation with a current 3D scan — we can assess the bone volume and give you an honest picture of what’s possible.
