Dental implants are titanium-post tooth replacements that fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration, restoring full chewing function, speech clarity, and bone density that dentures and bridges cannot preserve.
Boca Raton residents seeking an experienced dental implant specialist with 25+ years of implant placement and 3D cone beam CT planning drive just 16 minutes north on I-95 to Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, led by Dr Michael Berglass, DDS.
Jaw pain, shifting teeth, and bone loss do not improve with time — they accelerate. Schedule a consultation with Dr Berglass at Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry to get a same-day treatment plan built around your imaging results.
Boca Raton sits 14 miles south of Boynton Beach along I-95, placing Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry within a 16–20-minute drive from most Boca Raton neighborhoods — shorter than the average commute within Boca Raton itself during peak hours.
Dr. Michael Berglass, DDS — a Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine graduate (1996) with residency training in general practice and dental implants at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Hospital — holds American Dental Association and Florida Dentists’ Association memberships and maintains in-house 3D CBCT scanning that eliminates referrals to separate imaging centers.
The practice serves a regional patient base spanning Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Greenacres, and Wellington — all within Palm Beach County.
Patients arriving from Boca Raton via I-95 North exit at Gateway Boulevard, while those along Federal Highway (US-1) or A1A follow a direct northbound route through Delray Beach with no highway merge required.
| Feature | Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry | Typical Boca Raton Chain Practice |
| Implant surgeon on-site | Yes — Dr. Berglass places and restores | Often refers to an external oral surgeon |
| 3D CBCT imaging | In-house, same visit | May require a separate imaging appointment |
| Implant experience | 25+ years, residency-trained | Varies — general dentists average 5–15/year |
| Distance from Boca Raton | 14 miles / 16 min via I-95 | 0–5 miles |
| Treatment planning | Same-day imaging and treatment plan | Often multi-visit before plan is finalized |
Boca Raton patients who choose a provider based on proximity alone overlook the single largest predictor of implant success: surgeon experience.
Peer-reviewed clinical data link implant longevity to the annual case volume and residency-level training of the placing dentist — a finding reflected in credentialing standards maintained by the American Dental Association.
Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry offers the full spectrum of implant restorations, from single-tooth replacements to full-mouth reconstructions.
Each option uses a titanium post classified as a Class II medical device by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, an abutment connector, and a custom porcelain or zirconia crown matched to the patient’s existing tooth shade, shape, and bite alignment.
A single dental implant replaces a missing tooth without grinding down adjacent healthy teeth — a primary advantage over traditional dental bridges.
Dr Berglass places the titanium post, allows 3–6 months for osseointegration, and then attaches the permanent crown. Single implants function independently, can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth, and carry a 95–98% success rate over 10 years.
All-on-4 dental implants use four strategically angled titanium posts per arch to support a fixed bridge of 10–14 teeth. The posterior implants are placed at 30–45° angles into denser bone, which eliminates the need for bone grafting in most patients.
Boca Raton patients who have been told they lack sufficient bone for individual implants are often still candidates for All-on-4 because of this angulation technique. Dr. Berglass attaches temporary teeth the same day as surgery, so patients leave the practice with a functioning smile.
Patients missing three or more consecutive teeth may benefit from an implant-supported bridge, which uses two implants to anchor a multi-tooth prosthesis.
Implant-supported overdentures snap onto two to four implants for a removable-but-stable alternative to traditional dentures, eliminating the adhesives and slippage that conventional dentures produce.
| Implant Type | Teeth Replaced | Implants Required | Typical Timeline | Bone Grafting Needed |
| Single implant | 1 tooth | 1 | 4–6 months | Sometimes |
| Implant bridge | 3–4 teeth | 2 | 4–6 months | Sometimes |
| All-on-4 | 10–14 teeth (full arch) | 4 | 3–4 months | Rarely |
| Full-mouth (both arches) | 20–28 teeth | 8 | 4–6 months | Varies |
Dental implant pricing in South Florida varies based on the number of implants, whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is required, the prosthesis material (porcelain vs. zirconia), and the provider’s experience level.
Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry provides a full cost breakdown during the initial consultation, including CBCT imaging, an oral examination, and a written treatment plan — so patients know the total investment before any procedure begins.
| Procedure | Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry (2026) | Palm Beach County Market Range | What Is Included |
| Single dental implant (complete) | $2,999 | $3,500–$4,500 | Titanium post, abutment, porcelain crown |
| Bone graft (per site) | Included at time of placement | $400–$1,200 | Graft material, placement, follow-up |
| Sinus lift | Call for pricing | $1,500–$3,000 | Membrane elevation, graft, healing period |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | $2,999 | $20,000–$35,000 | 4 implants, surgical placement, temporary teeth |
| Full-mouth restoration (both arches) | $5,998 | $20,000–$50,000 | 8 implants, both arches, temporary teeth |
All-on-4 and full-mouth prices above reflect surgical placement and temporary teeth; the permanent prosthesis is fabricated and billed as a separate restorative phase after osseointegration completes at 3–6 months.
Visit the implant pricing page for current fee schedules and financing options. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the implant post or crown under major restorative benefits; the practice verifies benefits before treatment begins.
When a missing tooth is left alone, the cost of future treatment rises. Surrounding teeth shift into the gap within 6–12 months, jawbone density decreases by up to 25% in the first year, and what started as a single-implant case can escalate to a multi-implant case requiring grafting — doubling or tripling the original estimate.
Living with the gap between your teeth costs more every month it stays open. Contact Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry to lock in a treatment plan before bone loss narrows your options.
Dental implant surgery follows a four-stage protocol at Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Berglass performs every stage in-house — from imaging through final crown attachment — so Boca Raton patients are not referred to multiple providers.
The first visit includes a comprehensive oral examination, digital X-rays, and a cone beam CT (CBCT) scan. The CBCT produces a three-dimensional map of the jawbone, nerve pathways, and sinus cavities, allowing Dr. Berglass to select the precise implant angle, depth, and diameter before surgery begins.
Patients receive a written treatment plan with cost, timeline, and any preparatory procedures (extraction, bone graft, or sinus lift) identified at this appointment.
Single implant placement takes 45–60 minutes under local anesthesia. The procedure involves a small incision in the gum tissue, guided drilling into the jawbone at the mapped coordinates, and insertion of the titanium post.
Sedation options — nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation — are available for patients with dental anxiety. Same-day implant protocols allow temporary crowns to be placed immediately after post insertion in qualifying cases.
Osseointegration is the biological process in which new bone cells grow directly onto the titanium surface, locking the implant into the jaw. This phase takes 3–6 months, during which patients follow a soft-food protocol and attend periodic check-ins.
The Florida Department of Health’s Division of Medical Quality Assurance maintains licensure records for all practicing dentists, allowing patients to verify their provider’s credentials during this waiting period.
After imaging confirms full osseointegration, Dr Berglass places the abutment and attaches the custom-fabricated crown. The crown is shade-matched and contoured to blend with surrounding teeth.
Post-placement implant care requires twice-daily brushing, daily flossing, and professional cleanings every six months — the same routine as for natural teeth.
Most adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. The primary requirements are adequate jawbone density to support the titanium post, healthy gum tissue free of active periodontal disease, and the ability to undergo a minor surgical procedure under local anesthesia.
Dr. Berglass evaluates candidacy during the first visit using CBCT imaging and a full medical history review.
Conditions that may require additional treatment before implant placement include insufficient bone volume (addressed with bone grafting), active gum disease (treated with scaling and root planing first), uncontrolled diabetes (stabilized through medical management before surgery), and current tobacco use (cessation for at least two weeks before and after surgery improves osseointegration rates).
Patients previously told they are “not candidates” by another provider should seek a second opinion. Advances in angulated implant placement, zygomatic implants, and guided bone regeneration have expanded eligibility significantly over the past decade.
Systematic reviews indexed in the National Institutes of Health PubMed database confirm 95%+ implant success rates even in patients with moderate bone atrophy when guided bone regeneration precedes placement.
Florida Statute 466.006 requires all dentists placing implants to hold an active license issued by the Florida Board of Dentistry. Boca Raton patients can verify any provider’s license status, disciplinary history, and active credentials through the Florida Department of Health’s license verification portal. Dr. Michael Berglass maintains an active Florida dental license and current memberships with the American Dental Association and the Florida Dentists’ Association.
Beyond licensure, patients should confirm three factors before committing to an implant provider: whether the dentist places and restores implants in-house (versus referring surgery to an external oral surgeon), the annual implant case volume (higher volume correlates with higher success rates), and whether the practice uses 3D CBCT imaging for surgical planning (two-dimensional X-rays alone cannot map bone depth, nerve proximity, or sinus location with the precision implant placement requires).
Dr. Berglass performs both the surgical placement and the prosthetic restoration at Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, giving Boca Raton patients single-provider continuity from the first scan through the final crown. Learn more about the practice’s approach to implant dentistry.
How far is Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry from Boca Raton?
The practice is 14 miles north of downtown Boca Raton. Patients driving via I-95 North reach the office in approximately 16 minutes; the Federal Highway (US-1) route takes 20–25 minutes through Delray Beach. The I-95 and US-1 routes avoid tolls.
How long do dental implants last once they are placed?
Dental implants last 25 years or longer with consistent oral hygiene and twice-yearly professional cleanings. The titanium post itself can last a lifetime because it fuses with the jawbone through osseointegration. The porcelain or zirconia crown may need replacement after 15–20 years due to normal wear on the biting surface.
Does dental implant surgery hurt during or after the procedure?
Local anesthesia completely numbs the surgical area during placement. Most patients report post-operative soreness comparable to a routine tooth extraction — peaking at 24–48 hours and resolving within 3–7 days. Over-the-counter ibuprofen manages discomfort for the majority of patients without prescription painkillers.
Can I get dental implants if I have been wearing dentures for years?
Patients who have worn dentures for extended periods often experience jawbone resorption. Dr Berglass evaluates remaining bone volume with CBCT imaging and may recommend bone grafting or All-on-4 implants, which use angled posts to engage denser bone areas without grafting in most cases.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and individual dental implants?
All-on-4 uses four implants per arch to support a fixed bridge of 10–14 teeth, replacing an entire jaw in one procedure. Individual implants replace each missing tooth with a separate post and crown. All-on-4 costs less per tooth for full-arch cases; individual implants allow independent maintenance and are ideal when only 1 to 3 teeth are missing.
Does dental insurance cover implants for Boca Raton patients?
Many PPO dental plans cover a portion of implant treatment — typically 50% of the post or crown — under major restorative benefits with an annual maximum of $1,500–$2,500. Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry verifies insurance benefits prior to treatment and offers financing plans for balances that exceed coverage. Visit the implant pricing page for details.
How do I know if I have enough bone for dental implants?
A 3D CBCT scan taken at the consultation measures jawbone width, height, and density at the proposed implant site. Standard implants require a minimum of 5 mm of bone width and 10 mm of height. If measurements fall below those thresholds, bone grafting is performed to build the site to adequate dimensions over 3–6 months before placement.
What happens if I delay getting a dental implant after tooth loss?
Jawbone width can be reduced by up to 25% in the first year after extraction and continues to deteriorate at 1–2% per year. Neighboring teeth shift into the gap within 6–12 months, altering bite alignment and increasing the risk of additional tooth loss. Early placement preserves bone volume and avoids the added cost and time of grafting procedures.
Can smokers get dental implants in South Florida?
Smokers face a higher implant failure rate — approximately 10–15% compared to 3–5% for non-smokers — because nicotine restricts blood flow to the surgical site and slows osseointegration. Dr. Berglass recommends cessation at least two weeks before surgery and throughout the healing period to bring success rates closer to the non-smoking baseline.
How many appointments does the dental implant process require?
A standard single-implant case requires four to five appointments over 4–6 months: consultation with CBCT imaging, implant placement surgery, one to two healing check-ins, and final crown attachment. All-on-4 cases compress the process because temporary teeth are placed on surgery day, with the permanent prosthesis attached after osseointegration completes at 3–6 months.
Your next step toward permanent teeth is a 16-minute drive north. Book your implant consultation with Dr. Berglass at Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry and leave with a same-day treatment plan, cost breakdown, and imaging results in hand.
