Dental implants,
designed to last decades.
Single-tooth, multi-tooth, and full-arch dental implants in Sarasota by Dr. Gabrielle Chevance, DMD. We design and restore every case; surgical placement is by a periodontist we have partnered with for years. Adult-only, fee-for-service.
A dental implant is a titanium fixture, surgically placed into the jawbone, that integrates with bone over a few months and then supports a custom crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis. It is the closest thing in modern dentistry to a natural tooth root. Sarasota Dental Arts handles every implant case the same way: design first, surgical placement by a trusted partner, then ceramicist-made restoration in our office.
One tooth.
Or a full arch.
Implants solve cases that range from one missing tooth to a full mouth that needs replacing. We treat all three case types as design problems first.
Single-Tooth Implants
Replace one missing tooth without compromising the neighboring teeth. The most conservative and most permanent option for a single-tooth gap.
Read more →Implant Bridges
Replace two or more adjacent missing teeth with a bridge supported by implants instead of by neighboring teeth. Preserves bone and protects healthy tooth structure.
Read more →Full-Arch Restoration
All-on-4 and All-on-X — a full set of fixed replacement teeth supported by four to six implants. Permanent, does not come out, looks natural.

Two practitioners.
- 1. Consult and 3D imaging. We take a CBCT scan of the area, evaluate bone volume and density, plan the implant position digitally, and quote the case in writing.
- 2. Surgical placement. Done by a periodontist we partner with. Local anesthesia, with oral sedation available. Most patients return to work the next day.
- 3. Integration (osseointegration). The implant fuses with the surrounding bone over three to four months. You wear a temporary in any visible area during this period.
- 4. Restoration. Dr. Chevance takes final impressions, our ceramicist fabricates the final crown, and we bond it onto the implant abutment. The result looks and feels like a natural tooth.
- 5. Maintenance. Implants need the same brushing, flossing, and twice-yearly hygiene visits as natural teeth. Nightguard protection is strongly recommended for patients who grind.
Titanium below,
ceramic above.
The implant fixture is medical-grade titanium. We work with established, well-documented implant systems with decades of clinical follow-up. The cheapest implant on the market is not what goes into our patients.
The abutment connects the implant to the crown. We use custom abutments for cosmetic positions to allow the most natural emergence profile from the gum.
The crown is full ceramic or zirconia, fabricated by the same ceramicist who makes our cosmetic veneer cases. The visible part of every implant we place looks like a tooth, not like a restoration.
Full-arch prostheses use either monolithic zirconia or a hybrid titanium-acrylic framework, depending on the case and the budget.
Quoted in writing,
no surprises.
Implant cases are high-investment and high-stakes. We quote every case in writing at your consult, with the fee broken into the surgical step, the implant fixture, any bone grafting required, and the final restoration. There are no add-ons, no upsells, and no after-the-fact discoveries.
Sarasota Dental Arts is out-of-network with all dental carriers. Most plans cover some portion of the implant fee, and we itemize so you can submit. For multi-tooth and full-arch cases, financing through CareCredit and in-office payment scheduling is available.

Implants,

The most common questions. If yours is not here, call us or take the candidacy quiz to get a personalized starting point.
A single-tooth implant in Sarasota typically falls in a range that covers the implant fixture, the abutment, the final crown, and the surgical placement by our partner surgeon. Multi-tooth and full-arch (All-on-4 / All-on-X) cases are quoted in writing at your consult. Sarasota Dental Arts is out-of-network with all dental insurance; most plans cover implants partially, and we itemize so you can submit a claim.
