Dr. Hassan has been practicing general dentistry since 2010. While in Egypt, he finished his Bachelor’s in Dental Surgery, graduating with honors from MSA University in 2010. In 2016, Dr. Hassan earned his Advanced Education in General Dentistry from the University of Florida.
Once you are cleared for the procedure, the staff at Apex Dental will take an impression of your mouth so that the new teeth can be created in a dental lab. Each tooth will be made to match the size and shape of the surrounding teeth along with having a perfect color match. This way, your smile will appear completely natural once done. Patients throughout Florida are delighted with the results since no one can tell which teeth are real and which ones are synthetic.
Schedule an appointment and let us transform your smile into something as beautiful as you are.
Afterward, Dr. Hassan will secure the new synthetic tooth to the metal post at the surface of the gums. The new tooth is attached so securely that patients can eat their favorite foods, maintain an active lifestyle, play sports, and more, without fear of their tooth becoming loose or falling out. Patients throughout FL enjoy the benefits that come from never having to worry about their tooth again.
Patients in the 33544 area trust Dr. Hassan and the staff at Apex Dental to provide dental implants in a way that is comfortable and functional. With any type of surgical procedure, it is important to visit an expert, and by doing so, you will reduce your risk of complications or the implants not functioning properly. Dr. Hassan takes the time to make sure that every aspect of the procedure is completed correctly – the first time.
Teeth restored with dental implants can’t get cavities! A replacement tooth, or crown, doesn’t decay like a natural tooth, but you still must brush, floss and care for it and your surrounding natural teeth and gums in the same manner as natural teeth. Regular professional cleanings and dental check-ups also are essential.
Yes! We accept a variety of insurance providers and endeavor to accommodate our patients’ requests.
Please call our office to see if we are currently working with your insurance provider. Our pricing structure is designed to ensure that patients are able to receive the high-quality dental care they deserve. If your dental insurance will not cover all of your dental treatments, we will work with you to identify a payment solution.
In order to care for your dental implants, we advise our patients throughout Florida to brush and floss their teeth throughout the day like they normally would. Additionally, it is important to schedule dental exams and cleanings with Dr. Hassan at least twice a year. The staff at Apex Dental will help to clean your teeth and ensure that they stay healthy. This step is incredibly important because while dental implants cannot become infected themselves, the teeth around them can. If, in the future, you suffer from a severe case of gum disease or a dental abscess, the infection can spread to your jawbone. This puts your implants in jeopardy because, in order to stay secure, the jawbone must be in good health. If it becomes infected, your dental implants and all of your teeth will be in jeopardy.
If you currently have dental implants and your teeth start to hurt, call (813) 358-6808 to schedule an appointment immediately. This way, we can identify any infection and treat it before it can spread into the jawbone. As long as you follow these simple preventive care steps, your implants and natural teeth should remain in good health.
Generally, this is not a good idea. Over the years, we have learned that it is generally much better not to attach implants to teeth. We frequently attach implants to each other, which can improve strength and works well. So in a case like this, although it may be more expensive in the short term to place two implants instead of one, the long-term success is likely to be much better with the two implants.
In a large majority of people who have had their upper back teeth missing for a long period of time is the increasing downward growth of the maxillary sinus. At birth, it is the size of a pea and progressively grows as the skull matures. This growth is at the expense of the surrounding bone. If you are considering replacing those upper back teeth with fixed teeth that stay in all the time, it may be necessary to perform a sinus elevation procedure to allow room for placement of dental implants into this area to support those teeth. This involves placement of bone and/or bone substitutes into an area which was previously occupied by the lower part of the maxillary sinus. Most importantly, this procedure increases the available bone use to place implants and restore the missing back teeth.
In most cases, with the new options available today in the field of dental implants, some form of treatment can be done. We encourage people to get help as soon as possible if they are already having some problems with their current situation. These problems include excessive use of denture adhesives, chewing only soft food, inability to taste some foods, constant mouth sores, unhappiness with the appearance of one’s teeth and bite position (in some cases the nose and chin getting closer together). The sooner the problems are corrected with dental implants, the more choices one has available for treatment. If you have any or all of the above symptoms, implants could very well be the answer for you.
It is not necessary to have an implant for every tooth that is being replaced. The number of implants necessary to provide support depends on the type of implants used and the type of teeth (removable vs. non-removable) that will be attached to the implants. A thorough oral exam and panoramic X-ray are all that is necessary in most cases to determine which implant can be used and how many must be used. Sometimes, additional X-rays or CT scans are used in more complicated cases.
Because of the advances in the field of dental implantology, there are now more choices and techniques. It’s the rare person that cannot receive an implant or a combination of implants. Today we have many available types of implants designed to accommodate multiple problems.
Teeth that have root canals can fracture more easily than other teeth because they are weaker and somewhat dehydrated. They can sometimes be as brittle as glass. In the past, the best available treatment was to remove the tooth and file down the adjacent teeth and make a bridge – caps on the adjacent teeth with an attached “dummy” tooth in between. Sometimes this still is the only way. However, in many cases, an implant can replace the fractured tooth, and no teeth need to be ground down at all.
