Dental Implants in Lake Nona, FL
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they restore both the visible crown and the tooth root beneath the gums. A small titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it naturally integrates with the surrounding bone to create a secure foundation for a custom restoration.
Unlike removable appliances, implants function much like natural teeth and help preserve the jawbone by stimulating healthy bone tissue during normal chewing. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, every implant treatment is carefully customized to ensure optimal function, comfort, and long term success.
Every smile is unique, which is why we offer several implant solutions to address different levels of tooth loss.
Single Tooth Implants: Replace one missing tooth with a custom implant crown that blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.
Implant Supported Bridges: Restore multiple adjacent missing teeth without placing an implant for every individual tooth.
Full Arch Dental Implants: Replace an entire upper or lower arch with a secure implant supported restoration that offers exceptional stability.
Implant Supported Dentures: Upgrade from traditional dentures to implant retained dentures for greater comfort, improved chewing ability, and enhanced confidence.
Full Mouth Implant Rehabilitation: Patients with extensive tooth loss can benefit from comprehensive implant solutions designed to restore both function and aesthetics.
Dental implants provide one of the most predictable and long lasting methods of replacing missing teeth.
- Restore Natural Appearance: Custom restorations are designed to match the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth for a seamless smile.
- Eat With Confidence: Implants provide excellent stability, allowing you to enjoy foods that may be difficult with removable dentures.
- Preserve Jawbone Health: Replacing missing tooth roots helps reduce the bone loss that naturally occurs after teeth are lost.
- Protect Nearby Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require adjacent healthy teeth to be altered for support.
- Improve Speech: Secure implant restorations eliminate concerns about slipping appliances while speaking.
- Long Lasting Performance: With proper care and regular dental visits, dental implants can provide decades of dependable function.
- Comfortable Everyday Living: Implants become a permanent part of your smile, allowing you to brush, floss, and care for them much like natural teeth.

Our Dental Implant Process
Every implant case begins with detailed planning to ensure safe treatment and predictable long term results.
Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation
We perform a complete oral examination, review your medical history, discuss your goals, and determine whether dental implants are the right option for your smile.
Step 2: Digital Diagnostics
Advanced CBCT imaging and digital scans allow us to evaluate bone quality, identify anatomical structures, and precisely map implant placement.
Step 3: Implant Placement
The implant is carefully positioned within the jawbone using precise surgical techniques that promote long term stability and successful healing.
Step 4: Healing and Bone Integration
Over the following months, the implant naturally fuses with the surrounding bone to create a durable foundation for the final restoration.
Step 5: Custom Restoration
Once healing is complete, we attach a custom crown, bridge, or implant supported prosthesis that is crafted to provide excellent aesthetics, comfort, and chewing function.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on your individual treatment needs and the type of restoration being provided.
Several factors may affect the total investment, including:
- Number of implants required
- Single tooth or full mouth restoration
- Bone grafting, if necessary
