Dental Implants in Tampa, FL
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering unmatched stability and a natural look. Implants fuse with the jawbone, providing a permanent foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Our highly trained team at Wang and Cortes Dental uses state-of-the-art techniques to place implants that look, feel, and function like natural teeth, helping you enjoy a beautiful, durable smile.
A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth affect more than your appearance—they impact how you chew, speak, and maintain long-term oral health. At Wang and Cortes Dental, we offer modern, long-lasting dental implants in Tampa for patients looking to restore the strength, function, and aesthetics of their smiles.
Dental implants are a trusted and proven solution for replacing single teeth, multiple teeth, or even supporting full-arch restorations. Our team combines clinical expertise, digital technology, and a personalized approach to help you regain confidence in your bite and appearance.
How Dental Implants Work
A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. It is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it naturally fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant supports a custom crown, bridge, or denture that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
At our Tampa office, your implant process includes:
- Comprehensive consultation and 3D imaging
- Placement of the titanium implant post
- Healing period with a temporary restoration if needed
- Final restoration with a custom crown or prosthetic
- Ongoing care and checkups

Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement due to their durability, functionality, and natural appearance. Compared to traditional dentures or bridges, implants offer several advantages:
- Prevent jawbone loss and facial collapse
- Eliminate the need to alter adjacent teeth
- Improve bite strength and chewing ability
- Provide stability without adhesives
- Last for decades with proper care
Unlike removable prosthetics, implants integrate with your bone and function independently, giving you more confidence in daily activities.

Who Is a Candidate for Implants?
Most adults with missing teeth and adequate bone structure are eligible for dental implants. However, success depends on several factors, including gum health, overall health, and bone density.
Patients who may benefit from implants include:
- Individuals missing one or more teeth
- Denture-wearers seeking a more secure option
- Those with healthy gums and good oral hygiene
- Patients seeking a long-term alternative to bridges or partials
If bone loss is a concern, we may recommend bone grafting or other preparatory procedures. During your consultation, we’ll assess your unique case and discuss all available options.
For patients with multiple missing teeth, we also offer implant-supported dentures through our full-service dentures program.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and routine dental visits, implants can last 20 years or more. The implant itself is designed to be permanent, while the restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) may need periodic maintenance.
Is the implant procedure painful?
Implant placement is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Post-surgical soreness can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication, and healing is often easier than anticipated.
What is the recovery time for implants?
Initial healing typically takes a few days, but full osseointegration (bone fusion) can take 3–6 months. Once the implant is fully integrated, we place the final restoration.
Are implants better than bridges or dentures?
Implants offer superior function, aesthetics, and longevity compared to traditional bridges and dentures. They are especially beneficial for preserving bone and avoiding damage to neighboring teeth.
Do you accept insurance for dental implants?
We accept a wide range of insurance plans and offer flexible financing to make implants more accessible. Visit our financing and insurance page for details.
