Dental Implants in Belleair

Dr. Gumm provides skilled and experienced dental implant treatment to restore your smile.

A Nicer Smile, Better Chewing Power & Healthier Teeth with Dental Implants

Dental implants look, feel and act like real teeth

Due to their many advantages, dental implants are considered to be the modern solution for tooth replacement. Implant-supported teeth are strong, stable and beautiful. After treatment, many patients cannot even tell the difference between their implant teeth and their natural teeth. Implant-supported teeth can be brushed and flossed just like real teeth, and with proper maintenance and care, they can last a lifetime.

Who is a candidate?

In the past, patients with extensive bone loss from missing teeth and patients that suffered from certain medical conditions were not always candidates for dental implant treatment. Thanks to modern implant technology, almost everyone who needs teeth replaced can enjoy the benefits dental implants have to offer. Dr. Gumm has treated many different types of patients and can perform whatever procedures are necessary to make dental implant treatment successful.

State-of-the-Art Technology & Precision Planning

Key to successful dental implant treatment is the use of state-of-the-art imaging technology for diagnosis and treatment planning. Dr. Gumm utilizes a dental 3D scanner to view jawbone and soft tissues in 360 degrees, which enables him to carefully plan the location and angle of each implant. When needed, he uses a computer-generated surgical guide to assist him in the accurate placement of implants.

Dr. Gumm’s meticulous planning and use of advanced technology makes implant surgery a smooth and efficient procedure.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Implants let you talk, chew and exert pressure just like with natural teeth.
  • Implants are the strongest and longest-lasting solution for tooth replacement. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.
  • Implants don’t require alteration to the structure of adjacent teeth, as with dental bridges.
  • Implant-supported dentures have no false palate, so you can properly taste your food.
  • Implants help preserve bone in the jaw. They help prevent the wrinkled, aged look that can occur with dentures and missing teeth.
