Creating Smiles Dental, a family and cosmetic dental practice serving St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Florida, is highlighting its comprehensive dental implants program to address the growing number of patients seeking permanent tooth replacement solutions in the region.
The practice offers a full range of implant treatments — including single implants, implant-supported bridges, and implant-retained dentures — designed to restore both function and appearance for patients experiencing tooth loss due to injury, decay, or other causes.
What distinguishes the approach at Creating Smiles Dental is the integrated care model. Dr. Cindy Brayer, DMD, PA, and Dr. Phong Phane, DMD, collaborate directly with in-house periodontist Dr. Perera to coordinate implant planning and placement under one roof. This arrangement reduces referrals, minimizes delays, and ensures continuity throughout the treatment process.
"Having our periodontist work hand in hand with our restorative dentists means patients receive a seamless experience from the initial consultation through final restoration," said Dr. Brayer. "For those considering dental implants in St. Petersburg, this kind of coordinated care makes a meaningful difference in outcomes."
Dental implants have become one of the most requested procedures in restorative dentistry. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, more than 3 million people in the United States have dental implants, with that number growing by approximately 500,000 annually. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, which helps preserve bone structure and provides long-term stability.
Candidates for the procedure typically include adults with one or more missing teeth who are in good general health and have sufficient jawbone density. Patients with certain conditions — such as uncontrolled diabetes or significant bone loss — may require additional evaluation or preparatory procedures, such as a bone graft, before proceeding.
"Our goal is to make sure each patient understands their options and feels confident in the process," Dr. Phane added. "A dental implant is an investment in long-term oral health, and we take the time to do that evaluation carefully."
The practice accepts most major insurance plans and offers flexible scheduling across both office locations.
