The South Tampa Smile Standards: Coordinating Orthodontics and Implants Under One Roof

Modern dental care is most effective when different specialties work together in a single location. At McIlwain Dental Specialists, we coordinate complex orthodontic movements with restorative implant placement to create seamless results. This integrated approach saves time and ensures that every aspect of your oral health is managed by a unified team.

Residents of South Tampa often lead busy lives that require maximum efficiency from their healthcare providers. Our practice meets this need by offering Orthodontic Space Management alongside advanced surgical options. We use iTero Element Digital Scanning to create a virtual map of your mouth. This data helps our doctors determine the exact position of an abutment, the connector piece that attaches a crown to a dental implant. By aligning the teeth first, we ensure the final restoration looks and feels like a natural part of your smile.

The Engineering of Integrated Care

Precision is the hallmark of our Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning sessions. We analyze alveolar bone density to ensure it is sufficient to support both movement and permanent fixtures. Our use of Biolase Laser Systems allows us to perform soft tissue adjustments with minimal discomfort and faster healing times. This level of collaboration between our doctors means your treatment plan is constantly monitored from multiple clinical perspectives.

Common Questions About Integrated Care

  • Why should I see an orthodontist if I only want a dental implant? Sometimes teeth shift into the empty space left by a missing tooth, leaving no room for a proper replacement. We can gently nudge those teeth back into their correct positions to ensure your new implant fits perfectly and looks beautiful.
  • Is it easier to have all my dental work done at one practice? It truly is much simpler for you because our doctors can talk to each other about your progress every single day. You won’t have to worry about transferring records or repeating your story at different offices across town.
