Full Mouth Dental Implants
Do you have missing or damaged teeth? If so, you may experience issues with biting, chewing and even talking! Tooth loss and severe tooth damage may contribute to other health problems too, such as headaches and even muscle pain. And your face could even change shape! You may need to replace any missing or damaged teeth. For many patients, dental implants in St. Johns are the solution.
What are dental implants?
Implants are really “man-made tooth roots,” which our dentists can build upon to replace any missing teeth. In this procedure, a small titanium shaft is surgically implanted into the bone. The bone then grows around the shaft to form a solid connection. This slows or halts bone loss that occurs when the root of a natural tooth is lost. Once the implant is firmly set in the mouth, our dentists will attach the high-quality replacement tooth to its artificial or “man-made” root. Our Dental Implants in St. Johns are a permanent solution that won’t negatively impact surrounding teeth.
BENEFITS OF IMPLANTS
Missing teeth hurt your quality of life and hurts your self-confidence. Dental implants will help you regain both. Implants will also preserve bone and prevent further deterioration of your teeth, as well as improve your facial appearance. Implants are truly an attractive choice for tooth replacement:
Implants are permanent
Unlike traditional dentures that must be removed to eat certain foods or to sleep, implants are permanently affixed to your jaw bone.
Implants are natural looking
People won’t even know that you have dental implants, unless you tell them. Implants look and feel just like your natural teeth.
Implants reduce stress on your remaining natural teeth
Implants don’t require any support from adjacent teeth, which means they won’t wear down other teeth or place additional stress on them.
Implants are easy to maintain
No messy adhesives or metal clasps are required with your new Implants from Bartram Dental. Simply brush and floss every day, and see our dentists for regular checkups.
Implants are better than extraction
Although implants may initially be more expensive than tooth extraction, in the long-term they are a healthier, more cost-effective choice. If you remove a damaged tooth and do not replace it, the bone surrounding the empty space will deteriorate over time. It also leaves the adjacent teeth more susceptible to decay and injury. Bartram Dental never recommends removing a tooth without replacing it.
With dental implants, you can go back to eating the foods you love and smile with confidence once again.
TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS OFFERED AT BARTRAM DENTAL
Whether you need to replace one tooth, several or a full set of teeth, we offer several dental implant solutions.
Single Tooth
Implant Retained Dentures
Implant Bridges
Single Tooth Implants at Bartram Dental
The loss of even a single tooth can dramatically affect your oral health. That’s why it’s important to replace any missing teeth. Although some patients may opt for a conventional bridge, a single tooth implant may be a better choice. With an implant, the adjacent teeth are preserved and the prognosis for long-term stability is better. In some cases, the implant may even be placed immediately after extraction, if the removed tooth is not infected.

Are you a candidate for implants?
For an effective, long-term solution for damaged or missing teeth, nothing compares to dental implants. Not all patients, however, are ideal candidates for implants. In general, you must meet the following conditions:
• Healthy Gums
• Sufficient Bone to Anchor the Implant(s)
• Good Oral Health Habits
Heavy smokers, those who suffer from chronic diseases (diabetes, hemophilia, immune deficiencies, etc.), and people with a history of grinding their teeth, generally do not qualify for implants. To find out if you are a good candidate for dental implants, schedule an appointment with our office. After your no-charge evaluation, we’ll discuss your options and create a treatment plan that will help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Dental implants are built to last and can remain stable for 15 years or more, with many patients enjoying their implants for a lifetime. The titanium post fuses with your jawbone and acts as a permanent tooth root, while the crown may eventually require replacement due to wear. With regular cleanings, good oral hygiene, and routine dental visits at Bartram Dental Center, your implants can offer long-term function and natural aesthetics.
Dental implants are a safe and effective treatment when performed by an experienced provider, but like any surgical procedure, they do carry some risks. These may include infection, nerve irritation, or implant failure if the bone doesn’t integrate properly. At Bartram Dental Center, we reduce these risks by thoroughly evaluating your health, using advanced technology, and providing personalized aftercare instructions to support optimal healing and long-term success.

Coverage for dental implants depends on your insurance provider and specific policy. Some plans may cover parts of the procedure, such as the crown or extraction, while others may classify implants as elective and offer limited reimbursement. At Bartram Dental Center, our team is happy to review your benefits, help you understand your coverage, and provide guidance on financing options to make implants more accessible and affordable.
