Traditional dentures have long been used to replace missing teeth, but they’re not without their challenges. Many patients experience slipping, clicking, sore spots, or a bad fit that becomes worse over time. These issues often stem from the fact that traditional dentures sit on top of the gums and don’t address the root cause of instability: bone loss.
Maybe you’ve started hiding your smile in photos, maybe certain foods are more challenging to chew, or maybe you’ve noticed subtle changes in the way you speak. A missing tooth can affect more than just your appearance—it can also quietly influence your daily comfort and confidence. At North Tampa Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we offer advanced tooth replacement options designed to help you speak, eat, and smile with ease. Dental implants are a durable, natural-looking solution that can restore function and aesthetics—and we’re here to help you decide if they’re right for you.
Did you know that nearly half of adults over 30 in the U.S. have some form of gum disease? Despite its prevalence, gum disease often goes unnoticed until there’s significant damage. Unlike a cavity, which often causes noticeable discomfort early on, gum disease can progress quietly, only revealing itself through symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, or tooth mobility.
If the thought of dental treatment makes you feel uneasy, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with dental anxiety, which often prevents them from getting the care they need. At North Tampa Periodontics and Implant Dentistry in Tampa, FL, we offer sedation dentistry to help patients feel calm and comfortable throughout their visit.

If you’re dealing with gum issues or missing teeth or have been advised to seek specialized care, you might wonder what makes a periodontist different from a general dentist. While general dentists provide comprehensive care for your teeth, periodontists have additional years of training focused specifically on the health of your gums and supporting structures. This advanced training equips them to diagnose and treat complex issues like gum disease, perform specialized surgical procedures, and place dental implants—giving you access to care beyond the scope of routine dentistry.
