Tooth loss can impact more than your smile—it affects your confidence, chewing ability, speech, and even your facial structure. Fortunately, modern dental solutions like dental implants can restore both function and appearance in a way that feels incredibly natural.
At Dapper Dental in Winter Park, FL, we specialize in placing and restoring dental implants to help our patients smile, speak, and live with renewed confidence. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implants may be the permanent solution you’ve been looking for.
Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering dental implants in Winter Park.
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they provide a sturdy foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants fuse with the bone (a process called osseointegration), which helps preserve your jaw’s strength and prevent bone loss over time.
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement—and for good reason.
Implants closely mimic the appearance and function of your natural teeth. You can speak, chew, and smile confidently without worrying about slipping or discomfort.
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more—often for life. That makes them a wise investment in your long-term health and well-being.
Because implants stimulate the jawbone like natural tooth roots, they prevent the bone loss that often follows tooth extraction or prolonged denture use.
No special cleaning required—just brush, floss, and maintain regular dental visits as you would with natural teeth.
While implants are a great solution for many patients, not everyone is an immediate candidate. During your consultation at Dapper Dental, Dr. Sutton will evaluate your oral health, medical history, and jawbone density to determine your eligibility.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Don’t worry—if you don’t qualify right away, there are ways we can help prepare your mouth for future implant placement.

Getting a dental implant is a multi-step process that typically occurs over several months—but the results are well worth the wait.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital X-rays and 3D scans. Dr. Sutton will discuss your goals, answer your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan.
The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. Healing time ranges from 3–6 months as the implant fuses with the bone.
Once healing is complete, we attach a small connector (called an abutment) to the implant. This will support your final restoration.
Finally, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is securely placed on the abutment—designed to match your surrounding teeth for a seamless look.
Throughout the process, our team at Dapper Dental keeps you informed and comfortable, using advanced technology and a gentle approach.
