Precision engineering for your smile: Dental implants in Kendall and Miami Gardens

More than aesthetics, biomimicry: Recover the real function of your teeth

Tooth loss is no longer solved by simply 'filling the space.' In our Kendall and Miami Gardens locations we have moved beyond superficial replacement dentistry to embrace structural rehabilitation.

A dental implant is not just a mechanical device; it's biomimicry. By replacing the natural root with a medical-grade titanium structure (or specific alloys like Roxolid®), we help reduce and control the bone resorption that occurs after losing a tooth.

Unlike removable prostheses or bridges that compromise healthy teeth, implants biologically integrate with your body, offering a solution that looks, feels and functions very similarly to a natural tooth.

Understanding osseointegration: why implants work

The success of your treatment is not magic; it's applied biology. The key process is called osseointegration.

It's not about simply 'placing a screw'; it's about achieving a kind of 'functional ankylosis.' This means your living bone microscopically fuses with the implant surface without intervening fibrous tissue.

The 3 phases of your recovery (based on clinical protocol):

• Inflammatory phase (0–7 days) Your body initiates healing. Implant stability is primarily mechanical and inflammation is managed with medication and local care.
• Proliferative phase (1–4 weeks) New blood vessels and immature bone form on the titanium surface. This phase is silent for you but critical for the implant's future.
• Maturation phase (1–6 months) Bone organizes, mineralizes and hardens to support long-term chewing loads.

At ProDental Centers we respect these biological timelines — what we call 'biological patience' — to ensure stable and long-lasting results.

Precision diagnostics: no more 'eyeball' implantology

For the patient who values safety above all: at ProDental Centers we don't guess, we measure.

In our offices we use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to:

• See in 3D Obtain a 1:1 volumetric representation of your anatomy for precise planning.
• Nerve mapping Pinpoint critical structures with millimeter accuracy to minimize nerve injury risk.
• Bone density analysis Evaluate bone quality and adapt the surgical protocol to your unique physiology.

ALARA principle We prioritize radiological safety and use the lowest reasonably achievable dose.

Have you been told you 'don't have enough bone'?

Lack of bone is no longer a final sentence. With tissue engineering and Wolff's law we can rebuild the foundations of your smile.

We perform advanced bone regeneration procedures such as:

• Maxillary sinus lift Regain bone height in the posterior upper jaw to allow implant placement.
• Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) Use of membranes to protect the graft and allow directed new bone formation.
• Biocompatible grafts From autologous bone to safe xenografts and synthetic scaffolds used under strict biosafety criteria.

Recovery timeline: what to really expect

We want to be transparent: surgery is only the first step.

• Day 0 (surgery) Mild to moderate discomfort, manageable with prescribed analgesics. Avoid straws and follow a soft diet.
• Day 3 (peak inflammation) Swelling and sensitivity are normal; cold and medication reduce discomfort.
• Days 7–14 Suture removal if needed; soft tissue has largely closed and daily life resumes.
• Months 2–6 (clinical silence) You feel nothing special, but your bone is remodeling and fusing with the implant.

Pain in an already osseointegrated implant is not normal. If you notice discomfort, contact us immediately.

Timelines may vary, but this guide lets you know what to expect and when to seek review.

A smart investment in your long-term health

Cost is important, but implants are a long-term investment. Studies show survival rates above 95–98% at 10 years with proper planning and maintenance.

Unlike dentures that require frequent replacement and are associated with progressive bone loss, a well-cared-for implant is a durable engineering solution.

Local costs reflect material quality, diagnostic technology and clinical experience.

• Quality materials (titanium, zirconia)
• Advanced diagnostic technology (CBCT)
• Clinical experience of the treatment team

We offer financing and payment plans to make treatment accessible.
