Choosing a dentist for implant work
St. Petersburg has no shortage of dentists. The reason to cross the bay is the specific work: implants, full-arch rehabilitation, tooth extractions and the prosthetics that follow. Those are courses of treatment planned from a scan, not single appointments, and the planning is what separates one from another.
A cone beam CT scan shows a 3D image of your jaw’s anatomy, and it comes before the surgery date. It settles where the bone can hold a fixture, how many a full arch needs, and where each one goes.
What a first visit covers
The teeth and gums you still have, how the bite meets, and the options in plain language, set against what you want and what you can spend. Gums get treated before implants go in. A tooth that can be kept with a root canal or a crown is kept.
What you leave the consult with
The options, what each one involves, and how many visits each one takes. Not a single recommendation handed down. Where more than one route is reasonable for your mouth you hear about both, including the one that costs less, and the decision about which to take is yours to make rather than one made for you in the chair.

St. Petersburg dental questions
Why go to Tampa when St. Petersburg has dentists?
For implant and full-arch work specifically. It is a planned course of treatment built on a cone beam CT scan, and the planning is the part worth choosing a dentist for.
What is treated before implants go in?
Gums, where they need it, and any tooth that can be saved with a root canal or a crown. Replacement is planned only for what cannot be kept.
