Key Takeaways

• A complete single-tooth implant costs $2,400 at West Palm Beach Family Dental, covering the post, abutment, and crown in one flat fee.
• Dr. Michael Berglass holds a Fellowship in Dental Implantology and personally places and restores every implant, with no outside referrals.
• Most adults with adequate bone volume and controlled gum health qualify, regardless of age.
• Treatment runs across three visits: consultation and imaging, surgical placement, and final restoration delivery.

A quote naming one number rarely covers one tooth. Dr. Berglass itemizes every component at a free consultation with West Palm Beach Family Dental.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root, topped with an abutment and a custom crown that restore full chewing function.

The post integrates with surrounding bone through osseointegration, the biological process that fuses titanium to living bone tissue over several months. Healing typically follows this pattern:

• Weeks 1–2: initial soft-tissue healing and early bone contact with the implant surface
• Weeks 3–8: new bone tissue begins forming around the post
• Months 3–6: integration generally reaches the stability needed to support a crown

Once integration is confirmed, the abutment connects the post to a porcelain crown shade-matched to the adjacent teeth. Cleveland Clinic documents that implants placed under sound clinical conditions commonly last 25 years or longer. 

The titanium post is the most durable component; the crown on top typically needs replacement after 10 to 15 years of normal wear, though it can last longer depending on material and bite habits.

What Types of Dental Implants Are Available?

Implant design varies by how much bone is available and how many teeth need replacing.

• Endosteal implants — placed directly into the jawbone; the most common type, suited to patients with adequate bone density
• Subperiosteal implants — rest above the jawbone and beneath the gum tissue, for patients with bone loss who aren’t candidates for grafting
• All-on-4 implants — a full arch restored on four strategically placed posts, for patients missing most or all teeth in one jaw
• Mini implants — smaller diameter, used in narrow ridges or to stabilize a lower denture

A single missing tooth is typically restored with one endosteal implant; multiple adjacent teeth may be supported by two or more implants under a bridge rather than one implant per tooth.

Who Performs Implants at West Palm Beach Family Dental?

Dr. Michael Berglass, DDS, and Dr. Ivan Cedeno, DMD, perform every stage of implant treatment in-house, from consultation through final crown delivery.

Berglass earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine in 1996, completed a general practice residency and a dental implant fellowship at North Shore–Long Island Jewish Hospital, and received his Fellowship in Dental Implantology in 1998. 

Case volume matters alongside credentials: published volume-outcome research records 98% success among high-volume implant practices in the patient population that the study evaluated, compared with 90% among low-volume providers.

Treatment planning uses cone-beam CT imaging and computer-guided placement to map the implant’s angle and position before surgery, rather than adjusting it afterward. 

This planning approach, combined with a minimally invasive surgical technique, is intended to reduce trauma at the placement site and support a more comfortable initial recovery.

Cedeno trained at the University of Puerto Rico and holds a DMD, with earlier clinical experience in Cuba before relicensing to practice in the United States. 

Patients are treated by the same clinician at every stage, eliminating the coordination gap common in practices that split surgery and restoration between separate providers.

What Does a Complete Implant Cost Here?

A complete single-tooth implant costs $2,400 at West Palm Beach Family Dental. Other practices across Palm Beach County commonly charge $3,000 to $5,000 for the same procedure when they bill components separately.

Included in $2,400	May Require Additional Treatment
Implant post, abutment, and crown	Bone grafting, when imaging shows insufficient volume
Surgical placement	Extraction, when a failing tooth remains at the site
Free consultation and X-rays	Gum disease treatment, when inflammation is active

A full breakdown by component and by case type appears under implant costs, including what a low quote typically leaves out.

Financing at $79 per month with no credit check is available, subject to approval, and insurance and financing options cover the remaining balance for patients without full coverage.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults missing one or more teeth qualify, provided bone volume is adequate, gum tissue is free of active infection, and any chronic medical condition is well managed.

• Adequate bone density supports the implant; insufficient volume is addressed with grafting before placement
• Active gum disease is generally treated first, since inflammation can interfere with proper integration
• Age alone rarely disqualifies a candidate — many patients in their eighties and nineties receive implants successfully when overall health permits minor oral surgery
• Well-controlled diabetes and other chronic conditions can permit treatment, subject to individual assessment, though healing may take longer
• Tobacco use restricts blood flow to healing tissue and is associated with a higher risk of implant failure

Cone-beam CT imaging at the free consultation confirms bone volume and candidacy on an individual basis before any treatment is scheduled.

Bone at an untreated extraction site can recede over time, and in some cases this leads to the need for grafting before an implant can be placed. Dr. Berglass evaluates each case individually at West Palm Beach Family Dental.

Your Implant Journey in 3 Visits

Treatment runs three to six months from first visit to final crown for straightforward cases, spread across three primary appointments with healing time between them. 

This reflects the practice’s standard pathway for an uncomplicated single-tooth case; grafting, extraction, or other preparatory work adds a visit and extends the timeline.

Visit	What Happens	Typical Timing
1. Consultation and imaging	Clinical exam, cone-beam CT scan, written treatment plan with full cost	Day one
2. Surgical placement	Local anesthesia, titanium post placed, healing cap fitted	1–2 hours
3. Restoration delivery	Abutment fitted, custom crown seated, bite adjusted	After 3–6 months of healing

Cases requiring bone grafting or extraction beforehand add a preparatory visit and extend the total timeline to six to twelve months.

Swelling and mild soreness are common through the first week after placement, and many patients return to their usual routine within a couple of days. 

The single-tooth implant page covers the full recovery timeline, including what to expect week by week.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a dental implant cost in West Palm Beach?

A complete single-tooth implant costs $2,400 at West Palm Beach Family Dental, covering post, abutment, and crown in one flat fee. Other Palm Beach County practices commonly charge $3,000 to $5,000 for the same procedure when they bill components separately across several invoices.

Who places the implants at West Palm Beach Family Dental?

Dr. Michael Berglass and Dr. Ivan Cedeno perform every implant in-house, from consultation through final crown. Berglass holds a Fellowship in Dental Implantology earned in 1998 and has more than 25 years of clinical experience placing and restoring implants personally.

Am I too old for a dental implant?

Age alone rarely disqualifies a candidate for implant treatment. Many patients in their eighties and nineties receive implants successfully when overall health permits minor oral surgery. Bone volume, gum health, and controlled medical conditions matter more than chronological age.

How long does the implant process take?

Straightforward cases run three to six months from consultation to final crown, allowing time for osseointegration. Cases requiring bone grafting or prior extraction take six to twelve months. A written timeline follows the initial cone-beam CT imaging review.

Does insurance cover dental implants?

Coverage varies significantly by plan and by component. Many Florida dental plans limit or exclude coverage for the implant post, while crowns, extractions, and imaging more often receive partial coverage. A full insurance and financing breakdown covers typical scenarios in detail.

How do implants compare to bridges and dentures?

The implant post can last 25 years or more, well beyond the replacement cycles bridges and dentures typically require, though the crown on top generally needs replacement after 10 to 15 years of wear. A full side-by-side comparison of durability, cost, and daily care covers each option in detail.
