Implants at Barrineau DDS


Dental implants replace missing tooth roots with a titanium screw-like post. Then, a permanently cemented crown or a removable appliance is connected to the implant so it looks and functions as a normal tooth. Most dental implants are singular and do not involve the treatment of other healthy teeth. They allow for the replacement of missing teeth that can aid in chewing and functioning ability, as well as aesthetic concerns. 

Dr. Barrineau works closely with the best specialists to make sure that you are well taken care of during the surgical portion of your treatment. The specialist will place the implant into the jawbone, but this is only the first stage of your treatment.

Dental Implant Restoration in Gulf Breeze

The dental implant itself is only a replacement for the root of the lost tooth, so after the implant has been placed, you’ll still need to get a restoration—this is the crown or denture part of the replacement tooth.

An implant restoration from Dr. Barrineau consists of a fixed (permanent) or removable replacement tooth that is made to match your natural teeth. We take the time to ensure your satisfaction with the process, delivering results that meet your expectations.

To make sure that your smile meets or exceeds your expectations, we carefully confirm that the color, shape, and size of the restoration meet your aesthetic preferences before finalizing the placement.

BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

  • Preserves Jawbone Health | Dental implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss and maintaining the structure of your face. This helps to avoid your face appearing sunken, which can occur when teeth are missing.
  • Prevents Teeth from Shifting | By filling the space of a missing tooth, dental implants prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of alignment. If a gap is left, it can lead to bite issues and further dental problems.
  • Provides Lasting Strength | Implants are a long-term solution, often lasting a lifetime with proper care. This makes them a cost-effective investment in your oral health. The crowns protect the implant and can be replaced if an accident happens.
  • Looks and Feels Natural | Implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the replacement tooth. This means you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry and speak with confidence, knowing your teeth will stay in place.
  • Enhances Comfort | Since implants become part of your jawbone, they eliminate the discomfort that can come with removable dentures and the need for messy adhesives. They can even support dentures or partials.
  • Improves Chewing and Speaking | Implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to chew your food more effectively and speak clearly. Now, more than your functionality will be restored—your confidence can be too.

Maintaining Your New Smile

You care for dental implants just as you do your natural teeth. Gums around your dental implants can develop gum/periodontal disease, just like natural teeth, so it is best to have routine dental exams at our Gulf Breeze dental office and practice proper at-home home hygiene.

If you experience any issues with your implant, please contact us promptly to schedule an appointment. It’s important to address concerns as they arise rather than waiting for your routine exam.

If you are missing a tooth, contact our Gulf Breeze dentist Dr. Nicole Barrineau and schedule a dental implant consultation. Our extensive experience in placing and caring for implants ensures your treatment success and years of healthy smiles in the future.
