Dental Implants in Sarasota

Overview

What are dental implants?

Dental implants replace missing teeth with a titanium post placed in the jawbone, topped by a crown.

Implant placement is a core oral-surgery procedure across the metro, and several local surgeons emphasize implants and full-arch solutions like All-on-4. Total cost depends on whether you need a single tooth, multiple teeth or a full arch, plus any bone grafting. The figures below reflect typical 2026 Sarasota-Bradenton self-pay ranges; the final fee is set after imaging and exam.

How to choose

Dental credentials, explained.

Oral & maxillofacial surgeons treat the mouth, jaws and face surgically — from wisdom teeth and implants to corrective jaw surgery. They complete a four- to six-year hospital-based surgical residency after dental school (some also earn an MD). The defining credentials are AAOMS membership and board certification — Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS).

Hospital surgical residency
OMS training is 4–6 years of hospital-based surgery including anesthesia; some programs award an MD alongside the dental degree.
ABOMS Diplomate
Board certification by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the specialty’s defining credential.
Anesthesia training
OMS are uniquely trained to administer office-based anesthesia and sedation — relevant for extractions, implants and jaw surgery.
Questions to ask your oral surgeon
  1. Are you a board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon (ABOMS Diplomate)?
  2. How often do you perform this specific procedure?
  3. What anesthesia or sedation options do you offer, and who monitors me?
  4. Is your Florida dental license current and in good standing?
Your questions

Dental Implants FAQs.

How long do implants last?+

With good hygiene and healthy bone, implants can last many years to decades. The crown on top may need replacement sooner. This is general information, not medical advice.

Am I a candidate?+

Candidacy depends on bone volume, gum health and overall health. Grafting can build up bone for many patients who initially lack it.

Does it hurt?+

Placement is done under local anesthesia or sedation, and most patients report less discomfort than expected, similar to an extraction.

How long does the whole process take?+

Traditional implants heal over 3-6 months before the final crown; some same-day and All-on-4 protocols load temporary teeth immediately.

Why see an oral surgeon instead of a general dentist?+

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained for the surgical placement, grafting and sedation aspects, and often handle the more complex or full-arch cases.

Will insurance help?+

Coverage is improving but often partial; many practices offer financing such as CareCredit.
