Dental Implants Near Sunny Isles Beach, FL
Replace missing teeth with implants planned on a 3D scan and placed by Dr. Yudah A. Benmergui, about 15 minutes down Collins Avenue from Sunny Isles Beach.
Fixed teeth again, without leaving the coast.
Some of our patients have spent years with a partial denture they never liked, or with a back tooth that was pulled and never replaced. Over time, that gap affects chewing, speech and the jawbone itself. If you live in one of the oceanfront towers along Collins Avenue or near Samson Oceanfront Park, our Surfside office is a quick drive south past Haulover Park, and the entire implant process is handled under one roof.
Dr. Yudah “Ari” Benmergui holds a DDS from Columbia University and has practiced in Surfside for over 20 years. He uses 3D imaging to plan where each implant goes and offers conscious, oral and IV sedation for patients who dread dental work.
Choosing your implant option
Missing one tooth
One post and one custom crown, placed in the gap without touching the healthy teeth around it.
Single Tooth Implants →Missing several or all teeth
A full row of fixed teeth on a few implants, a common next step for people tired of loose dentures.
Full Arch Implants →Not sure yet
Answer three short questions and we will recommend the right first visit.
Take the quiz ↓What exactly is a dental implant?
It is a replacement root. A small titanium screw is set into the jawbone, and during healing the bone attaches to it firmly, a process dentists call osseointegration. The implant then supports whatever you need on top: a single crown, a bridge or a full arch of teeth.
Three pieces work together:
- Implant body: the titanium root inside the jaw.
- Abutment: the link between the root and the tooth.
- Crown, bridge or arch: the part you see, matched to your natural color.
Why implants are worth considering.
Built for comfort, function and the long term.
- Natural appearance: crowns are shaped and shaded to fit your smile.
- Durability: with good care and checkups, implants can last for decades.
- Jaw support: implants load the bone like real roots, which helps slow bone loss.
- Independence: no need to cut down neighboring teeth, as a bridge would.
- Stability: nothing shifts, clicks or needs adhesive.
Am I a candidate?
Quick and anonymous: three answers, one recommendation.
Is an implant right for you?
For most adults with missing teeth, yes. You are usually a strong candidate if you:
- Have no uncontrolled health conditions.
- Have healthy gums, or are willing to treat gum problems first.
- Have adequate bone, or can add bone with a graft.
- Are ready to keep up daily cleaning and regular visits.
Heard that you are “not a candidate” because of bone loss? Ask about grafting. A 3D scan gives a clear answer.
How implant treatment unfolds
Consultation with 3D imaging
We start with an exam, digital X-rays and a 3D scan, and talk through what bothers you most.
Your treatment plan
Options, timeline and fees are laid out in a written plan before anything is scheduled.
Implant placement
Placement is done with local anesthesia, plus sedation if you want it. Front teeth get a temporary so you never leave with a gap.
Your final teeth
Once the implant has integrated, your permanent teeth are attached and fine-tuned.
A clear plan, before any commitment.
Your free visit covers the 3D scan and an itemized plan you can review at home.
Fear of the dentist? Sedation can help: conscious, oral or IV.

Pricing depends on the number of implants, the restoration you choose and any groundwork such as grafting or extractions. You receive an itemized quote at the free consultation, and our team reviews financing and possible insurance benefits with you.
Comparing implants with dentures and bridges.
Dentures sit on top of the gums, so they can slide and they do not prevent bone loss. Bridges stay fixed but rely on grinding down healthy teeth. Implants are the only option anchored in the bone, which keeps them steady and protects the jaw. For many patients that makes them the most reliable long-term tooth replacement.
Daily care. Implants cannot decay, but the gums around them need attention. Brush twice a day, clean between teeth daily and keep regular cleanings to protect them.

Dental implant questions from Sunny Isles Beach patients
How long is the drive from Sunny Isles Beach?
About 15 minutes, depending on traffic. Drive south on Collins Avenue through Haulover Park and Bal Harbour, then turn onto 95th Street in Surfside.
Do I pay for the first implant visit?
No. The consultation, 3D scan and itemized treatment plan are free, with no obligation to proceed.
How many trips to the office will I need?
Plan on separate visits for the consultation, the implant surgery and the final teeth, with healing time between them. You get your personal schedule at the consultation.
How long do dental implants last?
With daily care and regular checkups, many implants last for decades. The crown may need replacing eventually due to wear.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
You are numbed for the procedure, so it should not be painful. Some tenderness for a few days is common and usually controlled with over-the-counter medicine. Sedation is also available.
How long does the dental implant process take?
Healing generally takes a few months. Some patients can receive a temporary tooth on the same day the implant is placed.
Am I too old for dental implants?
No. Many patients in their 70s and 80s get implants. Health and bone are what Dr. Benmergui evaluates, not age.
What if I do not have enough bone for an implant?
A bone graft can often add the support an implant needs.
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?
A few missing teeth usually call for single implants or an implant bridge. When most teeth are gone or failing, or you wear a denture, a full arch (often called All-on-4) is often the better fit. The consultation tells you which applies.
