What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed within the jaw to restore the missing roots of a tooth. The titanium posts are biocompatible and fuse with the surrounding bone tissue, creating a stable foundation for an implant-supported restoration. Dr. Planes custom designs each restoration to match the aesthetics of your natural teeth, seamlessly restoring the gap in your smile.
We Guarantee You'll Love Your Smile!
Dental implants are the next best thing to having healthy, natural teeth. Whether you need to replace one tooth or an entire arch of teeth, dental implants provide the most secure foundation for your custom restoration. Unlike most dentists, Dr. Planes is trained to both place and restore dental implants giving you convenient access to every step of treatment. Dr. Planes is so sure you will benefit from dental implants that he guarantees his work for five years while you are coming in for active maintenance visits. Furthermore, when you decide to move forward with treatment after your free consultation, you will receive $500 off the total cost of your implants.

Discover Dental Implants
Dental implants are the best tooth replacement method because they mimic lost tooth roots. At Planes Dental Arts, we can use dental implants to restore your smile and your bite. It is possible to restore a complete arch of missing teeth with as few as four implants.
What Type of Dental Implant is Best For Me?
Dr. Planes designs your individual treatment plan according to your oral health needs and unique type of tooth loss. After placing your implants, we can custom-craft one of the following types of restorations to repair your smile...
Patients missing one tooth or multiple teeth can fill the gaps with implant-supported crowns, each consisting of a single prosthetic tooth.
An implant-supported bridge literally bridges the gap left by several consecutively missing teeth. Typically patients will need two or more implant posts depending on the size of the bridge.
Patients missing most or all of their teeth are good candidates for a full or partial denture. A full implant denture usually requires about six to eight posts per arch for patients with healthy jaw tissue.
What If I Don't Qualify for Traditional Dental Implants?
Don't Worry We Offer All-On-4!
If you have sustained bone recession after long-term tooth loss, you may still be able to get dental implants. While Dr. Planes can supplement a patient's jaw tissue with a bone graft, some people wish to save time and skip over preparatory procedures.
With the All-on-4® dental implant technique, it is possible! This treatment restores a full implant denture with just four implant posts, strategically placed to take advantage of existing bone tissue. All-on-4 patients may be able to save money by forgoing prep work and receiving fewer implants per dental arch. Find out if you qualify for All-on-4 by scheduling a consultation at our Vero Beach practice.
The Implant Treatment Process
Using innovative digital planning technology, we craft custom surgical guides to improve the accuracy of the procedure.
Check Out The Results
Dr. Planes takes care to design incredibly lifelike dental restorations. When your treatment is complete, no one will be able to tell which teeth are natural and which are dental implants!
How long will it take to restore my teeth?
You'll Be Smiling In No Time With Same-Day Dental Implants
Overall, dental implant treatment will take several months, depending on how fast you heal from your procedures. While this sounds like a long time, it is important to understand you will not be without teeth for the duration of treatment. Dr. Planes proudly offers same-day dental implants, attaching a temporary restoration immediately after your implant surgery. This allows our patients in the Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie areas to maintain the appearance and function of their smiles, and go through their treatment in comfort.

I really hate going to the Dentist, so it was a real pleasant surprise coming here. The staff were so friendly and the place is bright and comforting. I was treated with respect and they took the time to explain every step. I let them know how nervous I got at previous Dentists. Im actually looking forward to getting my Dental care back on track...
