Dental Implants Near Miami Beach, FL
Fixed, natural-looking replacement teeth for Miami Beach patients, planned on a 3D scan and placed by Dr. Yudah A. Benmergui at our office just north of the city line in Surfside.
When a missing tooth starts changing your daily life.
Maybe you chew on one side, avoid certain foods at restaurants, or cover your mouth when you laugh. Left alone, a gap also lets the jawbone shrink and the neighboring teeth drift. If you live in North Beach, Normandy Isles, Mid-Beach or South Beach, our Surfside office on 95th Street is a quick trip up Collins Avenue, and your whole implant treatment, from scan to final teeth, happens in one place.
Dr. Yudah “Ari” Benmergui graduated in dentistry from Columbia University and has practiced in Surfside for more than 20 years. He plans each implant digitally, places it himself and offers conscious, oral and IV sedation for patients who feel anxious in the chair.
Single tooth or full arch: where do you fit?
Missing one tooth
For one missing tooth: a single implant and a made-to-measure crown, with no work on the teeth beside it.
Single Tooth Implants →Missing several or all teeth
For many missing or failing teeth: a complete fixed set of teeth held by implants, instead of a removable denture.
Full Arch Implants →Not sure yet
Not sure which group you are in? Answer three questions and we will suggest a consultation.
Take the quiz ↓Dental implants, explained simply
Think of an implant as an artificial tooth root. A titanium post is placed in the jaw, and over several months the bone grows tightly around it (osseointegration). Once that bond forms, the post can hold a crown, a bridge or a full arch with the stability of a natural tooth.
What you get, from the bone up:
- The post: titanium, set in the jaw to replace the root.
- The abutment: a small connector that joins the post to the visible tooth.
- The tooth or teeth: a crown, bridge or arch colored and shaped to match your smile.
What implants do that other options cannot.
Stable, durable and close to the real thing.
- They blend in, because each tooth is designed for your face and bite.
- They are a long-term solution: with checkups and good habits, many last for decades.
- They keep the jaw active, which helps prevent the bone loss that makes the face look older.
- They leave healthy teeth alone, while a bridge would require filing down the teeth beside the gap.
- They do not move. You can bite into an apple, speak clearly and sleep with them in.
Am I a candidate?
Three taps, no sign-up. We will point you to the right visit.
Can I get dental implants?
Probably yes. Most adults with one or more missing teeth can have implants, especially if they:
- Are generally healthy.
- Have healthy gums, or are ready to treat gum disease first.
- Have enough bone in the jaw, or are open to a bone graft.
- Will brush, floss and come in for checkups.
Bone loss is not always a deal breaker. A graft can often rebuild the area, and a 3D scan shows exactly how much bone you have.
From first visit to final teeth: the implant process
Exam and 3D scan (free)
Dr. Benmergui reviews your teeth, gums and bone with digital X-rays and a 3D scan, and asks about your goals.
Your treatment plan
You get your options, the expected timeline and the cost in writing, so nothing starts until you are ready.
Implant placement
The implant is placed with numbing and optional sedation. If the gap is visible, you leave with a temporary tooth.
Your final teeth
When the bone has bonded to the implant, we fit your final crown, bridge or arch.
Get a written plan at no cost.
The first visit includes the 3D scan and a line-by-line plan. You take it home and decide on your own time.
Dental anxiety? Conscious, oral and IV sedation are available.
Sedation Dentistry →How much do dental implants cost in Miami Beach?
Every case is priced individually: the number of teeth, the type of restoration and any preparation such as extractions or grafts all play a part. Your free consultation ends with an itemized plan, and our team explains financing and any insurance benefits that may apply.
Implants, dentures or a bridge: how they differ.
Removable dentures rest on the gums, can shift while you eat and do nothing to stop bone loss. A bridge is fixed, but it is anchored by shaving down the healthy teeth around the gap. Implants sit in the bone like roots, so they stay fixed and protect the jaw and the teeth around them. That makes them the closest tooth replacement to a natural tooth.
Implant care is simple. Implants do not get cavities, yet the gums around them can become infected without good hygiene. Brush twice daily, floss or use a water flosser, and keep your professional cleanings.

Dental implant questions from Miami Beach patients
Where is your office in relation to Miami Beach?
We are at 260 95th St in Surfside, the town directly north of Miami Beach. From North Beach it is a few minutes up Collins or Harding Avenue; from South Beach it is about 25 minutes, depending on traffic.
What does the free implant consultation include?
An exam, a 3D scan and an itemized written plan with your options, timeline and investment. There is no charge and no obligation.
How many appointments should I plan for?
Usually at least three: the consultation, the implant placement and the visit for your final teeth, with a few months of healing in between. Dr. Benmergui gives you a schedule at the consultation.
How long do dental implants last?
Often for decades, as long as you keep up with hygiene and checkups. The visible crown can wear over time and may need replacing someday.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
The area is numbed, so the procedure itself should not hurt. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is normal and usually eases with over-the-counter pain relievers. Sedation is available.
How long does the dental implant process take?
Typically a few months, because the bone needs time to bond with the implant. In some cases temporary teeth can be placed the same day.
Am I too old for dental implants?
Age alone does not rule you out. Health and bone quality are what count, and patients in their 70s and 80s often get implants successfully.
What if I do not have enough bone for an implant?
Often a bone graft can restore enough bone to place an implant.
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?
Single implants or an implant bridge usually suit one or a few missing teeth. Full arch implants (often called All-on-4) are usually considered when most teeth are missing or failing, or for denture wearers. The 3D scan at your consultation settles it.
Coming from Miami Beach
Drive north on Collins Avenue or Harding Avenue into Surfside and turn onto 95th Street. It takes a few minutes from North Beach and about 25 minutes from South Beach, depending on traffic.
