Dental implants in Tampa
A missing tooth changes how you chew, how you speak, and how often you smile. Dental implants restore all three, permanently.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up. A titanium post anchors into the jaw, and a new crown, bridge, or denture attaches on top, giving you a restoration that looks natural and holds like your own tooth.
Implants are also an excellent way to stabilize a loose denture, turning something that slips and clicks into teeth that stay where they should. Dr. Bustami will examine your jaw with digital X-rays and tell you honestly whether an implant is the right fit for your case.

What to expect
Exam and imaging
Digital X-rays give Dr. Bustami an instant, low-radiation view of your jaw so she can confirm an implant will hold securely.
Placement
The post is placed with a gentle technique under local anesthetic, and the site heals around it for a secure hold.
Restoration
Your new crown, bridge, or denture attaches to the implant, and Dr. Bustami fine-tunes the bite so it feels natural.
Common questions
Does getting an implant hurt?
Placement is done under local anesthetic, and most patients are surprised by how manageable the visit and the recovery are. Dr. Bustami paces every step around your comfort.
Can implants fix my loose denture?
Yes. This is one of the most common uses for implants. A few posts give the denture something solid to snap onto, so it stops slipping when you eat and speak.
How long do dental implants last?
With good home care and regular checkups, implants can last many years, often decades. Keeping the gum around the implant healthy is the key, and your regular cleanings at Jasmine Dental take care of exactly that.
