What To Expect — Sarasota, FL
A Comprehensive GuideTo Dental Implant Procedures
Welcome
A Smile Full Of Life
Welcome to Speranza Dental Implant Centers — the destination where your dream smile becomes a reality. We go beyond simply providing dental implants; our mission is to transform lives by rebuilding durable, functional teeth that rejuvenate your confidence.
Our talented prosthodontist and oral surgeon walk you through the entire dental implant procedure and answer every question. We place hundreds of implants each year, with the expertise to provide all related services in-house — extractions, bone grafting, soft tissue grafting and provisional delivery.
Diagnostics
Diagnostics And Digital Smile Preview
To painlessly capture high-resolution images of your mouth and bone structure, we use an intraoral scanner and a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) machine. That information lets us digitally design your new smile — down to the colour and shape of every tooth in your final restoration.
These diagnostics also let us plan implant placement and design a custom surgical guide, so you can visualise your results before any treatment begins.
The Journey
Eight Steps, No Surprises
You will always know what happens next, how long it takes and what it costs before anything begins.
- 01
A Smile Full of Life
It starts with a conversation about what you want back — eating out without planning around a menu, laughing in photographs, speaking without covering your mouth.
- 02
Meet the Speranza Team
You meet both doctors, not a coordinator. Our prosthodontist and oral surgeon evaluate your case together on the same day, in the same room.
- 03
Conversation Starters & Planning
We review your medical history, your goals and your timeline, then walk through the options honestly — including the ones we would not recommend for you.
- 04
Diagnostics & Digital Smile Preview
A 3D CBCT scan, intraoral scan and facial photography feed a digital plan. You see the proposed result before treatment begins.
- 05
Surgical Procedure
Treatment is completed under IV sedation using a surgical guide generated from your plan. Most full-arch surgeries take about two and a half hours.
- 06
Temporary Teeth the Same Day
You leave with a fixed provisional bridge. There is no period of going without teeth.
- 07
Recovery & Integration
Most patients return to normal activity within two to three days. Implants integrate with bone over the following months while you wear your provisional.
- 08
Final Restoration
Your definitive bridge is designed from the provisional you have been living with, refined for shade, shape and bite, then delivered and verified.

Implants Placed Each Year
Planning
Surgical Planning Down To The Millimetre
Your treatment is planned digitally before a single instrument is picked up. We map implant position, angle and depth against your anatomy, then produce a custom surgical guide so placement in the operatory matches the plan exactly.
On surgery day you are cared for under IV sedation by our board-certified oral surgeon, and in most cases you leave the same day with a fixed set of provisional teeth.
