For people who live or work in Aventura, near Country Club Drive, Williams Island, Aventura Mall or Turnberry, Bal Harbour Smiles offers complete implant care at 260 95th St in Surfside, where the same dentist handles your case from the first scan to the final teeth.
Dr. Yudah “Ari” Benmergui earned his DDS at Columbia University and has cared for patients in Surfside for more than 20 years. Every implant is planned on a 3D scan, and conscious, oral or IV sedation is available if dental visits make you nervous.
Which dental implant option is right for me?
Missing one tooth
One implant topped with a custom crown fills the gap, and the neighboring teeth stay untouched.
Single Tooth Implants →Missing several or all teeth
A fixed full arch anchored on implants replaces a whole row of teeth. Many denture wearers ask about this option.
Full Arch Implants →Not sure yet
Three short questions point you to the consultation that fits your situation.
Take the quiz ↓How does a dental implant work?
An implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth root. As it heals, your jawbone bonds to its surface, a process called osseointegration. That bond is what makes an implant stable enough to chew on like a natural tooth. A custom tooth is then attached on top.
Each implant tooth is built in three layers:
- Implant: the post in the bone that works as the new root.
- Abutment: the small connector that holds the tooth to the implant.
- Restoration: the crown, bridge or full arch you see when you smile, shaded to blend in with your teeth.
Why patients choose implants over other options.
The closest replacement to a natural tooth.
- Natural look: each tooth is made to match the shade and shape of your smile.
- Long-lasting: with home care and regular checkups, implants often serve patients for decades.
- Bone protection: the implant stimulates the jaw the way a root does, helping prevent the bone loss that changes the face over time.
- Healthy teeth stay intact: unlike a bridge, the teeth on either side of the gap do not need to be filed down.
- Fixed in place: no adhesives, no slipping and nothing to take out at night.
Am I a candidate?
No forms and no personal data. Just a clear next step.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults missing one or more teeth qualify. In general, the best results come when you:
- Are in good overall health.
- Have healthy gums, or treat gum disease before the implant.
- Have enough jawbone, or can rebuild it with a bone graft.
- Keep up with brushing, flossing and regular dental visits.
Were you told in the past that you do not have enough bone for implants? A bone graft can often rebuild the area, so a second opinion with a 3D scan is worth it.
The dental implant process, in four steps
Free consultation and 3D scan
We examine your mouth, take digital X-rays and a 3D scan of your bone and gums, and listen to what you want to fix.
Your treatment plan
You leave with a written plan covering your options, timeline and investment, before any treatment begins.
Implant placement
Your implants are placed under local anesthesia, with sedation if you prefer. Visible areas are covered with a temporary while you heal.
Your final teeth
After healing, your permanent crown, bridge or full arch is attached and adjusted to your bite.
Know your options, timeline and price before you commit.
One visit gives you a 3D scan and an itemized plan, with no pressure to decide that day.
Nervous about the dentist? Ask about conscious, oral or IV sedation.
Sedation Dentistry →How much do dental implants cost in Aventura?
Implant cost depends on how many teeth you replace, the type of restoration and whether you first need a bone graft or an extraction. At your free consultation you receive an itemized plan, and our team walks you through payment options and what your insurance may cover.
Dental implants vs. dentures and bridges.
A denture sits on the gums, can move when you eat or talk, and does not stop the jawbone from shrinking. A traditional bridge needs the healthy teeth on each side to be filed down. An implant is anchored in the bone, stays put and helps preserve both your jaw and the teeth next to it, which makes it the most durable tooth replacement for most patients.
Looking after your implants. An implant cannot decay, but the gums and bone around it can still become inflamed. Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth daily and keep your cleanings, and your implants can last for many years.

Dental implant questions from Aventura patients
How far is your office from Aventura?
Our office at 260 95th St in Surfside is about 20 minutes by car from Aventura, via Biscayne Blvd and the Broad Causeway, or along Collins Ave.
Is the dental implant consultation free for Aventura patients?
Yes. Your implant consultation is free and includes a 3D scan and a clear, itemized treatment plan, so you know your options, timeline and investment before you decide.
How many visits do dental implants take?
It depends on your case. Your consultation, implant placement and final teeth are separate visits, with healing time in between while the implant fuses with the bone. You will receive a timeline at your consultation, so you can plan the trips from Aventura.
How long do dental implants last?
The implant itself can last for decades with good hygiene and checkups. The crown on top may eventually need replacing because of normal wear.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
Treatment is done with local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Expect a few days of mild soreness, usually handled with over-the-counter medication. Sedation is available if you feel anxious.
How long does the dental implant process take?
Healing usually takes a few months while the bone bonds to the implant. Some patients qualify for same-day temporary teeth, so they are never without a tooth.
Am I too old for dental implants?
No. There is no upper age limit. Your general health and bone matter more than your age, and many patients in their 70s and 80s replace missing teeth with implants.
What if I do not have enough bone for an implant?
In many cases a bone graft rebuilds the jaw so an implant can be placed.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Dental implants are not billed to insurance at our office, since we are fee-for-service. You can split the cost into monthly payments through HFD, Cherry, CareCredit or Sunbit, and if you have a PPO plan you may be able to use out-of-network benefits. We go over every option at your free consultation.
How do I know if I need a single implant or full arch?
One or a few missing teeth are usually replaced with single implants or an implant bridge. If most of your teeth are missing or failing, or you wear dentures, full arch implants (often called All-on-4) may fit better. Your consultation confirms which option suits you.
