Are you self-conscious about missing teeth or struggling with uncomfortable dentures? Dental implants might be the answer you’re looking for. At Lifetime Dental of Gainesville, we offer state-of-the-art dental implant solutions that can provide you with a permanent and lifelike replacement for missing teeth, bringing back both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Discover the Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. They are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse over time, a process known as osseointegration. This provides a stable foundation for crowns, bridges or implant-supported dentures.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants look and function like real teeth.
- Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last for decades.
- Bone Preservation: Implants maintain jawbone density, preventing the bone loss that usually accompanies missing teeth.
- Boosted Confidence: Enjoy a full smile without the worry of dentures slipping or clicking.
The Dental Implant Process at Lifetime Dental
Dr. Shue Her will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. Using our advanced Sirona® 3D Cone Beam Scanner, we create a detailed map of your mouth for precise planning. Then, implants are placed under local anesthesia with optional sedation for your comfort, during a procedure that is performed in-house. A protective cap is placed over the implant post to aid healing. Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone, forming a strong bond called osseointegration. Once the implants are healed, we attach custom crowns or dentures to the implant posts, completing your new, fully functional smile.

Whether you’re missing a single tooth, several teeth or even a full arch, implants can restore your smile with strength, beauty and lasting confidence.

At Lifetime Dental of Gainesville, we’re here to help you reclaim not just your smile, but the freedom that comes with it.
Cost and Financing of Dental Implants

We strive to make implants affordable with flexible payment plans and financing options. Our team will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits.
Strong Smiles, Lasting Confidence
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone, they provide a sturdy base for attaching crowns or bridges that look and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants are a safe and widely used procedure with a high success rate. We perform the surgery under local anesthesia and offer sedation options for your comfort. Postoperative discomfort is typically minimal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Proper care for your dental implants is simple – brush and floss daily, attend regular check-ups and avoid hard foods or habits that could damage them. This helps keep your implants healthy and your smile looking its best.
The cost of dental implants can vary based on your individual needs and if preliminary procedures are needed. While dental insurance often covers part of the cost, our team is here to help you explore financing options and maximize your insurance benefits.
Most individuals who have lost teeth may be good candidates for dental implants, provided they have good oral health, healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to support the implants. Our team will assess your unique needs during a comprehensive consultation to determine the best treatment plan for restoring your smile.
