What is the recovery time after dental implant surgery?

Initial healing usually takes a few days, but full integration of the implant with the bone can take three to six months. You may experience some swelling or discomfort, which can be managed with medication. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions is key to a smooth recovery.

Are there alternatives to dental implants?

Yes. Bridges and dentures are common alternatives, each with different benefits and maintenance needs. We’ll help you weigh your options to find the best fit for your lifestyle and oral health.

Are dental implants painful?

Dental implant procedures are typically not painful due to sedation options and local anesthesia, which numbs the area. Some patients may feel mild pressure, but discomfort is minimal. At PGA Dentistry, Dr. Ajmo offers oral conscious sedation and is equipped and trained for IV sedation to ensure comfort, especially for complex cases or anxious patients.

Search “dental implants Palm Beach Gardens,” and you’re likely presented with pages of ads, discount implant centers, and offices that place implants but send you elsewhere for the prosthetic teeth. You’ll also notice that prices range from suspiciously low to hard to pin down. The choice matters more than most dental decisions. An implant is surgery in your jawbone, and the teeth attached to it are what you will chew with and smile with for decades. A poorly planned implant can fail, lose bone, or look artificial, and fixing it costs more than doing it right the first time.

Dr. Ajmo is one of the very few dentists so extensively trained and skilled in both the surgical placement and comprehensive restoration of dental implants, and is 1 of only 500 dentists worldwide to hold a Diplomate Certification with the American Board of Oral Implantology.

Before you decide on dental implants, see what they look like on real patients. Our case studies follow PGA Dentistry patients from their first consultation to their finished smile, including Lenny, who came in with failing teeth in both arches and left with a complete upper and lower implant restoration placed and restored by Dr. Ajmo. Every photo is an actual patient, and every case includes what the patient started with, what Dr. Ajmo recommended, and why.

What to Expect: The Dental Implant Process at PGA Dentistry

Your implant journey begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Ajmo evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and creates a personalized treatment plan. We use advanced 3D imaging to assess bone quality and plan precise implant placement.

The dental implant procedure involves placing the titanium implant into your jawbone under local anesthesia. After placement, a healing period of several months allows osseointegration to occur. During this time, you’ll receive clear instructions to support healing and comfort.

Once the implant is fully integrated, we attach an abutment and custom-crafted crown or prosthesis, restoring your smile’s function and aesthetics. Throughout every step, our team is here to answer questions and ensure your experience is as smooth as possible.

Teeth Next Day® with Dr. Jay Ajmo

Teeth Next Day® is a same-day implant procedure available at PGA Dentistry for patients who require oral surgery to remove failing or missing teeth but do not want to go without functioning teeth during the months-long healing period typical of traditional implants.

In a conventional implant process, patients wait three to six months after surgical placement for osseointegration, the fusion of the titanium post with the jawbone, before receiving their final teeth. Teeth Next Day® condenses this by placing a temporary prosthesis on the day of surgery, so patients leave the office with functional teeth while osseointegration completes. Dr. Jay Ajmo, one of only 500 dentists worldwide to hold a Diplomate Certification with the American Board of Oral Implantology, performs this procedure at PGA Dentistry’s Palm Beach Gardens location.

Call (561) 627-8666 to ask whether Teeth Next Day® is appropriate for your case.

7 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Dental Implant Dentist in Palm Beach Gardens

1. Who places the implant, and who makes the teeth?

In many offices, one doctor places the implant, and another designs the crown or bridge. That can work, but it adds a second office, a second fee, and a handoff where details get lost. At PGA Dentistry, Dr. Ajmo plans the final teeth first, then places the implant where those teeth need it.
2. What implant training and certification do you have?

Any licensed dentist can place implants, and training ranges from a weekend course to years of structured study. Ask about board certification and how many implants the dentist places each year. Dr. Ajmo is board certified by the American Board of Oral Implantology, a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and holds a Mastership from the Misch International Implant Institute.
3. Will you take a 3D CT scan before planning my treatment?

A standard X-ray is flat. A 3D CT scan shows bone height, width, and density, plus the location of nerves and sinuses. Without one, implant position is partly a guess. This also determines if you’re a candidate for dental implants.
4. What are all my options, including ones that are not implants?

A good implant dentist explains bridges and dentures too, along with how many implants your case actually needs. Be cautious of anyone who recommends the same full-arch plan to everyone.
5. What does the quoted price include?

Ask whether the fee covers the CT scan, extractions, bone grafting, sedation, temporary teeth, the final teeth, and follow-up visits. A low advertised price often covers only the implant post.
6. How will you keep me comfortable?

Implant surgery is usually more comfortable than people expect, but full-arch cases are long appointments. Ask who provides sedation and how you are monitored. Dr. Ajmo is IV sedation certified through Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center. See sedation with dental implants.
7. What happens if something goes wrong?

Ask about follow-up care, what is covered if a tooth chips or an implant does not integrate, and who you call after hours. Teeth Next Day® bridges include a warranty.

Dental Implant Costs
