Dental Implants in Miami
Permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
A Lifetime Solution for Missing Teeth
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once placed in your jawbone, it integrates with the bone to form a stable, permanent foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture.
Unlike removable solutions, implants stay put. They preserve bone, protect adjacent teeth from shifting, and restore full chewing strength. Dr. Ernesto J. Perez has received advanced training in dental implants and has restored thousands of smiles in Miami over the past 35 years.

Dental Implant FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants are designed to last for decades, and many patients keep theirs for life. The titanium implant fuses with your jawbone, while the crown on top may need replacement after 10–15 years depending on wear.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We use local anesthesia during placement, and patients typically describe the recovery as similar to a routine tooth extraction. Mild soreness for a few days is normal and easily managed.
How long does the implant process take?
The full timeline is usually 3–6 months from start to finish, because the implant needs time to fuse with your jawbone before the final crown is placed. The placement appointment itself takes about an hour, and many patients return to work the next day.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health and adequate jawbone density are candidates. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or significant bone loss may require additional planning. We use 3D imaging during your consultation to evaluate candidacy precisely.
Can I get an implant on the same day as my extraction?
In many cases, yes — this is called immediate implant placement, and Dr. Perez performs it routinely when bone quality allows. A consultation with our 3D scan will tell us whether you’re a candidate for same-day placement.
