Dental Implants

Considering dental implants in West Palm Beach? WPB Dental & Implants provides single-tooth and multi-tooth implant solutions that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. Dr. Shevy is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and manages every stage of implant treatment entirely in-house for her patients.

Why Patients Choose Dental Implants

A Permanent Solution

Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, providing a stable, long-term replacement that does not slip, shift, or require adhesives.

Preserves Jawbone Structure

Implants stimulate the jawbone the way natural tooth roots do, preventing the bone loss that commonly follows tooth extraction or extended periods of missing teeth.

Natural Look and Feel

Implant-supported crowns are crafted to match your surrounding teeth in size, shape, and color, delivering a seamless result that looks and functions like a real tooth.

Restored Bite Strength

A properly placed implant restores near-normal bite strength, making it easier to eat the foods you enjoy comfortably and without restriction or concern about movement.

Long-Term Value

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them one of the most durable and cost-effective tooth replacement options available to patients over the long term.

All-in-One Implant Care

From evaluation through final restoration, every stage of your implant treatment is managed at WPB Dental & Implants, reducing the cost, time, and complexity of your care.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an excellent option for adults in good general health with sufficient jawbone density who are missing one or more teeth. Patients who smoke or have uncontrolled diabetes may require additional evaluation before proceeding, which Dr. Shevy will discuss during your consultation.

Your Implant Process at WPB Dental & Implants

Implant Evaluation

Dr. Shevy will use 3D imaging to assess your jawbone, gum health, and bite before recommending an implant plan tailored to your anatomy, needs, and goals.

Implant Placement

The titanium implant post is placed in the jawbone during a precise, comfortable procedure performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report the experience being far less involved than expected.

Healing and Integration

Over the following weeks, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through osseointegration. Dr. Shevy will monitor your healing and keep you fully informed throughout the recovery period.

Crown Placement

Once fully integrated, a custom-fabricated crown is placed on the implant, completing the restoration and giving you a permanent, natural-looking tooth that is ready to function right away.

Common Questions

Most Popular Questions

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

A: Most adults in good general health with one or more missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Adequate jawbone density is an important factor for successful placement. Dr. Shevy will review your 3D imaging and health history during your consultation to determine whether implants are the right option for you.

How long does the dental implant process take?

A: The full implant process typically takes three to six months from placement to final restoration, with the majority of that time being passive healing. The clinical appointments themselves are generally efficient. Dr. Shevy will give you a personalized timeline based on your specific treatment plan at your first visit.

Is the procedure painful?

A: Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the implant placement procedure is under local anesthesia. There is typically some soreness in the days following placement, which is manageable with over-the-counter medication. Dr. Shevy personally calls every procedure patient at the end of the day to check in on their recovery.

What is the success rate of dental implants?

A: Dental implants have a long-term documented success rate of over 95 percent when placed by a trained clinician in an appropriate candidate. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular checkups are the most important factors in ensuring your implant performs well for many years to come.

How do I care for a dental implant?

A: Implants are cared for exactly like natural teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine checkups are the primary requirements. With proper maintenance, your implant can last a lifetime. Dr. Shevy will provide detailed aftercare instructions at the time of both placement and restoration.
