At Lucie Dental in Port St. Lucie, FL, Dr. Scott Azari offers high-tech implant treatment at competitive prices.
Why are dental implants the most effective way to protect your oral and general health?
The Ultimate Solution for Tooth Loss Discover Dental Implants
/
Dental implants are titanium screws that replace lost tooth roots. Dentists like Dr. Azari surgically insert implants directly into the jawbone. Over time, the titanium implants integrate with the bone tissue and become as secure as the roots of natural teeth. Once implants have fully fused with the jawbone, they are able to support crowns, bridges, and dentures.
The Advantages of Dental Implants
Security and Stability
Dental implants attach restorations directly to the jaw. This means that your denture should never come loose or slip out of place when you chew, laugh, or speak.
Jawbone Health
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone loses stimulation from the tooth root and begins to atrophy at that site. Only dental implants replicate the function of tooth roots and prevent jawbone atrophy.
No Tooth Alteration
Replacing a tooth with a traditional bridge requires substantial modification to the adjacent teeth. In contrast, replacing a tooth with an implant and a crown requires no modifications to your natural teeth.
Full-Arch Restoration Starting at $6,999
Are you fed up with dentures that slip and slide out of place? Tired of using bad-tasting denture adhesive? By attaching your denture to dental implants, you can say goodbye to these inconveniences. Dr. Azari offers a few different options for full-arch restoration:
- Removable denture attached to two dental implants starting at $6,999
- Removable denture attached to four dental implants starting at $8,999
- All-on-4® (fixed denture attached to four dental implants) starting at $14,500
The prices above include the cost of both the dentures and the implants. To find out which restoration is right for you, and to learn more about our flexible payment options, schedule a free consultation with our dentist.
Dental Implants Can Replace Missing Teeth
Dr. Azari discusses dental implants and implant candidacy. A dental implant is a screw that is inserted into the jaw and replaces missing tooth roots. These prosthetic tooth roots support restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dentures to restore a patient's oral function.

Damaged Teeth
Some injuries can damage a tooth beyond repair. An extraction and implant placement would improve both the health and the aesthetics of your smile.
Severe Decay
If a root canal is unsuccessful, an extraction might be your best option. Instead of leaving a gap in your smile, our dentist can attach a natural-looking restoration to the titanium implant with an abutment.
Missing Teeth
You can lose teeth due to aging, poor hygiene, trauma, and other factors. An implant-supported restoration can be customized for your smile and made to match the color of your teeth.

What We'll Discuss at Your Consultation At Our Port St. Lucie, FL, Practice
We help both insured and uninsured patients afford dental implants with our competitive pricing and flexible financing options.
The Components of Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are screws that go in the jawbone and replace tooth roots. At our practice in Port St. Lucie, we use implants made of biocompatible titanium.
Abutments are tiny connector pieces that attach implants to restorations. Abutments are visible above the gumline when restorations are not attached.
Dental restorations are prosthetic teeth. The types of restorations are crowns, bridges, and dentures. We use restorations that look incredibly lifelike.
A Technological Advantage
Whether you need to replace one tooth or all of your teeth, your chances of achieving satisfactory results increase exponentially when you choose a dentist who uses the latest technology. Dr. Azari uses cutting-edge equipment and techniques when planning and executing dental implant treatment, such as:
3D CBCT Scans
This modern imaging machine captures a complete 3D scan of your dental structures in seconds. Dr. Azari will use these precise models of your teeth, gums, and jawbone to determine exactly where to place implants.
Computer-Guided Surgery
Dr. Azari performs computer-assisted implant surgery, ensuring that each implant ends up at precisely the right location and angle. The system virtually eliminates the chance of human error.
All-on-4 Dental Implants A Revolution in Full-Arch Replacement
The All-on-4 technique is one of the most exciting developments in dental care in recent years. Using this method, Dr. Azari can attach a high-quality denture to only four implants (instead of the traditional six or eight).
All-on-4 involves placing implants at a strategic angle that maximizes available bone tissue. This means that patients with bone atrophy may not necessarily require preparatory bone grafting.
Lucie Dental is proud to offer All-on-4 to qualifying patients for as low as $14,500. For more information, contact us today.
Aftercare and Recovery
Following your dental implant surgery, you can expect to experience some swelling and bleeding. Recovery times are relatively quick however, as most patients can return to work the next day. For a safe recovery, our Port. St. Lucie, FL, office recommends you:
- Rest for the rest of the day after your procedure
- Eat a soft food diet during the healing period
- Be gentle when you brush your teeth around the surgical sites
- Apply cold packs to manage swelling
- Avoid exercise for at least three days
- Take medication as prescribed
- Attend check-ups with our dentist to track your progress
If you are experiencing any signs of infection during the recovery process, call Lucie Dental immediately.
