Dr. Fernandez-Carol offers single-tooth implants, multiple-tooth implant bridges, and full-arch implant restorations for patients in Coral Gables and greater Miami who want a permanent, natural-feeling solution to tooth loss. With over 20 years of restorative experience, he guides each patient through the entire process — from initial bone assessment to final crown placement — at the 401 Coral Way practice. Implants are anchored directly into the jawbone using a titanium post, providing a stable foundation that prevents the bone loss that typically follows tooth extraction. Most patients describe the final result as indistinguishable from their natural teeth.

Dr. Fernandez-Carol uses detailed imaging at the Coral Gables practice to assess your bone density and volume before recommending implant treatment. Patients with insufficient bone are not automatically excluded — bone grafting procedures can rebuild the necessary foundation in many cases, and Dr. Fernandez-Carol will discuss whether grafting is appropriate for your situation during your assessment.
The implant placement procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and Dr. Fernandez-Carol's expertise in sedation and anxiety-free dentistry means patients who are nervous can be fully relaxed throughout. Most patients report that post-operative discomfort is milder than they expected and is well-managed with over-the-counter pain relief for the first two to three days.
The full implant timeline typically spans four to six months from implant placement to final crown fitting, as the titanium post requires a healing period of three to four months to fully integrate with the jawbone. In selected cases where bone quality is excellent, Dr. Fernandez-Carol may be able to place a temporary crown on the same day as implant surgery — a protocol sometimes called immediate loading.
