Dental Implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement. Long-lasting and durable, this permanent dental restoration option replaces missing teeth from the root up to close gaps and restore a more vivacious, youthful-looking smile.
Stuart-based dentist Dr. Michael Sohl offers dental implants to Jupiter patients looking to restore their smile to ultimate perfection. With dental implants precisely fitted to your existing teeth, you can regain the confidence, chewing ability, and attractive smile you deserve.
Dental implants are a cutting-edge solution for patients with one or multiple missing teeth.
Dental implants are a cutting-edge solution for patients with one or multiple missing teeth. During the procedure, Dr. Sohl fuses a titanium post to the jawbone, creating a secure anchor for a custom-made dental crown. Replacing decayed or missing teeth with Dental Implants does so much more than make it easier to bite, chew, and speak. It affords you the opportunity to flash your charming grin without anyone knowing you had any dental work done. The results look incredibly natural and can last a lifetime.
Dr. Sohl offers a range of specialized implants. He will customize your dental implant procedure to your unique circumstances, allowing your best smile to shine.
Zygoma dental implants are suited to individuals who are not candidates for traditional Dental Implants due to advancing bone loss. Instead of securing the implant into the jawbone, Dr. Sohl anchors the implant post to the cheekbone. Since zygoma dental implants are longer and more robust than conventional implants, a bone graft is not necessary before the procedure.
Instead of dealing with slippage and discomfort from removable dentures, All-on-4 implants remain fixed in place comfortably and securely with only four implants that can support up to 14 teeth.
Dental implants are the superior option if you need to replace a worn, damaged, or missing tooth.
Long-lasting and hard-wearing, the titanium material can withstand decades of use. Dental implants topped with a crown look very natural, mimicking the look and feel of natural teeth. Last but not least, the implants can prevent future bone loss since they stimulate the jawbone, just as a natural tooth would. After a smile restoration with Dental Implants Jupiter patients treated by Dr. Sohl typically enjoy a surge of newfound confidence.
Any patient missing one or more teeth may consider dental implants, with only a few exceptions.
Smokers, pregnant women, individuals with diabetes or cardiovascular disease, and those that have had radiation therapy in the head and neck may not be the best candidates. Patients with gum disease, oral infections, or cavities will need to address these issues first before receiving dental implants. You must also have adequate healthy bone to support the implant, which may necessitate a bone grafting procedure. Finally, age may be a factor in your candidacy; Patients younger than 18 years old may only receive dental implants if replacing a permanent adult tooth. Most patients that come to Dr. Sohl are good candidates for his Jupiter Dental Implants procedure and can get started on renewing their smile immediately.
Dental implants are a wonderful option, but they are not suitable for everyone. The only way to discern whether dental implants are the right choice for you is to speak with a qualified dentist.
During your consultation, Dr. Sohl will listen attentively to your concerns, perform an oral exam, and make a clinical recommendation to close the gaps in your smile. He will also take digital photographs and a dental CAT scan to clearly visualize your current smile and create 3D digital renderings of your entire mouth and face.
As an expert in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Dr. Sohl understands that your smile impacts your overall appearance. With this in mind, he offers digital imaging software so you can virtually “try on” your new smile. Together, you and Dr. Sohl will make adjustments to ensure a flawless result that rings true to your vision of the ideal smile.
Since your final tooth replacement will take a few days to craft in the lab, Dr. Sohl offers temporaries that you can wear home after your Dental Implant surgery using his on-site 3D printer.
Dental implant surgery takes place under general anesthesia.
Dr. Sohl will implant a titanium post into your mandibular or maxillary jawbone. Once healed, he will fit a custom abutment onto the implant. The abutment serves as the foundation for a beautiful, functional new crown, bridge, or denture. After a brief healing period, he will take impressions to mold your artificial tooth and complete your smile. You will have realistic-looking temporary teeth from the time of your implant surgery until your permanent tooth is ready.
Dental implant surgery has come a long way in recent years. To ideally position your implants, Dr. Sohl utilizes the XNAV guidance system to create a GPS field within your mouth. Aided by a state-of-the-art computer, he will guide your implant posts into the optimal position, leaving nothing to chance.
Dr. Sohl will have your permanent teeth milled and assembled on-site within 48 hours of your Dental Implant surgery. Once ready, you’ll return to his office to remove and replace your temporaries with the final product and put the final touches on your smile.
Dr. Sohl will guide you through computer-assisted bite tests to be sure your implants are working as expected.
The initial recovery from dental implant surgery can take anywhere from two days to a week. Depending on the number of implants and level of surgical invasiveness you require, it can take six to eight months for your implant to heal fully.
Tenderness, pin-point bleeding, and inflammation are common side effects that should resolve quickly. Ice compresses and ibuprofen will make you feel more comfortable and reduce swelling.
When you remove your gauze an hour after surgery, you can eat soft, non-sticky foods. Avoid hot foods and drinking through straws for 24 hours. You can rinse with warm salt water to freshen up, but don’t use mouthwash or peroxide. The next day, you can begin brushing your teeth gently twice daily.
So long as you practice good oral hygiene, including daily flossing, brushing, and annual dental cleanings, your implants should be good for a lifetime. With a 98 percent success rate, Dental Implants are one of the best values in dentistry.

As a customized procedure, the extent of dental work needed to prepare the tooth, the type of implant, and how many teeth need replacing all factor into pricing.
