If you’re considering dental implants to replace a missing tooth or several teeth, one of the first questions that may come to mind is: Is a teeth implant safe? At Dental Arts of Florida, we understand that choosing the right solution for your smile involves both confidence and clarity. Dental implants have become the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering long-term success, natural appearance, and unmatched function—but what about safety?
In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about dental implant safety, including risks, success rates, and how our Jacksonville-based practice ensures a safe, successful outcome for every patient.
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement for a missing tooth root. Once healed, it supports a dental crown, bridge, or denture, offering a secure and natural-looking restoration.

Yes—when placed by a qualified professional, dental implants are extremely safe.
According to studies, dental implants have a success rate of 95% or higher when performed under the right conditions. Titanium, the material used for most implants, is biocompatible, meaning it integrates safely with your natural bone.
However, as with any medical or dental procedure, there are risks and factors that can affect safety and long-term success. That’s why choosing the right provider is essential.
Titanium is well-tolerated by the body and has been used in medical devices and implants for decades. It bonds with bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
With modern technology, dental implant surgery is predictable and minimally invasive. At Dental Arts of Florida, we use advanced diagnostic tools like 3D CBCT imaging to plan every detail before surgery.
Under the care of Dr. Fred Tepedino, a Fellowship-trained implant specialist, your procedure is handled with expertise and precision. Dr. Tepedino has extensive training in alveolar reconstruction, implant placement, and bone grafting—ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
All procedures are performed in a sterile surgical setting with strict infection control protocols. We adhere to all OSHA, CDC, and ADA guidelines to keep patients safe during and after surgery.
We don’t stop caring after the implant is placed. Our team provides detailed post-op instructions, follow-up visits, and hygiene support to reduce the risk of infection or complications.
