A few decades ago, it was very common for dental surgeons to perform excessive extractions to solve oral health problems, without a restorative plan. With the advances in modern Dentistry, today there are numerous comfortable, economical and safe alternatives to address missing teeth. The All-on-4 technique is one of the most reliable solutions nowadays.

The all-on-four dental implant design is a technique that is employed in severely reabsorbed edentulous maxilla and mandible as well. It was created with the goal of reducing the number of implants, simplifying the treatment and allowing the fixation of the prostheses.

All-On-4 is widely used for patients who have lost all teeth in an arch and who suffer from regular dentures. The objective of the design is to make full-arch fixed restorations with fewer implants in cases when implants cannot be placed in the posterior region because of anatomic limitations.

However, your prosthodontist is the one who must decide on the best treatment to be used to restore missing teeth. Therefore, it is very important to begin with an initial assessment, to complete an analysis of your oral health. Your treatment plan can be influenced by:

Prosthodontists often prefer this treatment because it: avoids bone grafts; decrease in the number of implants; immediate installation of a fixed prosthesis (which can be temporary or permanent, depending on the patient's case); with predictable results.

The surgical procedure will be performed, with the installation of immediate prosthesis at the same day (when applied). A few days after the procedure, the patient will return to remove the stitches, follow-up and receive specific guidelines on the postoperative period.

During the healing phase, the implants will undergo osseointegration. This means that the new implants will be forming a biological connection with the bone. The patient must follow specific diet during this healing period, maintaining adequate hygiene.

It is not possible to make an accurate prediction on how long a dental prosthesis implant-supported will last. However, like any health procedure, the professional has to give success estimates, based on scientific studies. Current evidence shows more than a 95% success rate. Therefore, it is extremely important that the professional chosen to perform the procedure is experienced and qualified to perform the technique. Preventive maintenance and regular visits to the dentist are indispensable and also tend to favor the longevity of the treatment.

Beyond outstanding! I have just my completed my treatment for implant surgery with Dr Hervas and his team and I have no words to describe how satisfied I am with the way the surgery went and with the final outcome. I was referred to Dr Hervas after an old dental bridge over half of my upper jaw was no longer functional and could not be repaired. I was quite anxious about the surgery, but after my long meeting with Dr Hervas, I felt calm, reassured and confident that i was in good hands. After reviewing the dental bone scan, Dr Hervas discussed the surgery plan in detail. I will need several implants and bone graft for the implants support. He explained the available options for bone grafts available to me and the purpose of the injection of "growth factor" from my own blood to speed and improve the healing of the bone around the implant. (this is the newest and most advanced method reported in recent research). Dr Hervas patiently answered my questions and encouraged me to call call back should I need additional information. I could tell right away that he was very experienced and well versed in the newest advances and technology of the implant surgery applicable to my case. After meeting with Dr Hervas, I met with Veronica, the most friendly and knowledgeable office manager to discuss in detail the finances involved. She also gave me a folder with several booklets that covered all aspects of the implant surgery. The surgery went well: I experienced some pressure but no pain. Dr Hervas informed me briefly of what is going to be done in each upcoming stage. He interacted calmly with his assistants, in a seamless team work and they all seemed at ease, which was very reassuring. After the surgery was completed, I was given clear directions for the aftercare. Dr Hervas made sure that I arrived home safely and contacted me home to check on my well being. I have to admit that I was quite surprised that I did not experienced any major pain or bleeding in the days after the surgery. and I just used over the counter Tylenol for 2 days (and had to adhere to the recommended soft diet for few days). I had several follow up visits after the surgery: stitches removed, dental plate adjusted and my questions were answered. I know it was a complicated surgery but I felt confident, from day one, that the outcome will be good, because Dr Hervas and his entire team seemed to be so experienced, professional, compassionate and caring. I was treated like a royalty but all the stuff. On my final appointment, after over 4 months, when I thanked Dr Hervas, he responded that he "just did the surgery" and the members of the team did the rest,. Indeed, I really appreciate the excellent job of the dental assistants who took the xrays and scans, participated in the surgery made me comfortable. The excellent lab technicians, the front desk workers and specially Veronica. What a great team! Now I have a reason to smile (and my smile looks great). Thank you Dr Hervas and the great Implantation team which I highly recommend. For me, it was a great, worthwhile investment. Thanks! Sarah.

I'd like to express my sincere thanks to the Doctor Hervas . Doctor did an excellent job. I have a whole new mouth and now I can smile for the first time in 10 years. All of the restoration was done with little or no pain which I was thankful for. I would highly recommend Doctor Hervas for any of your dental work but especially for any implants I am very well pleased. I have known Doctor Hervas now for 20 years and have always been super pleased with Excellent dental work. -Jeffrey St. James

I waited to write this review for about a month after completing the total restoration of my teeth to see if I feel the same as I did the day the work was completed. I am and I can confidently say that going to Dr. Hervas and his team was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I waited many years and had multiple consultations and I have come to the conclusion that if I went to any of the other service providers that I would not be as completely satisfied as I am now. Dr. Hervas attention to detail of every aspect of the restoration was off the charts. In today's world we are always skeptical about putting complete trust in anyone. I would not think twice about putting my complete trust in Dr. Hervas. He exceeded my expectations in every way! The time frame that I was given from start to finish was right on target. When you have to pay for everything up front before the procedure you have to wonder whether the sense of urgency to get you completed gets effected. I am happy to report that it did not. I can keep on going on and on but in closing selecting Dr. Hervas and his team for your complex dental needs will be a decision that you will not regret.

The most amazing, off-the-charts, wonderful group of people giving their patient great service while undergoing a life-changing experience! Every team member made me feel like i was visiting family - from I entered the front door, while in the chair, until I left. I could not have chosen a better Prosthodontist to give me this beautiful Colgate smile i now have. Dr Harvas was very particular in getting my "finals" precise to the last detail. He would painstakingly go over every minute detail to ensure I was happy with the smile. The young ladies in the treatment room are special! They massaged my jaw when i had discomfort; they made x-rays fun because I didn't like doing them; constantly cheering me on! They remembered every little thing about me and we would chat and joke and that made the process easier. The best part was that everything from xrays to photos was onsite or in close proximity. It was like a one-stop shop providing excellent service resulting in a new life. After 6 months of visits, xrays, photos, laughs, mouth opening and closing, I'm near the end and every penny was worth it!!! If I had to do this again, I would go nowhere else! Implantation Dental is a blessing! I'll add a final post with pics of my award winning smile when I'm done! UPDATE: Smiling with confidence!!! A million thanks to Dr Harvas and the Implantation Dental team.

I would never go to anybody but Dr. Hervas. He placed my implant in 2017 on my front tooth when I was 18 after trauma as a child that left me with a grey crown and gave me a crown I absolutely loved that looked amazing and no joke changed my life. I chipped that crown, completely my fault no fault of the crown and needed a replacement. I have since moved out of south Florida and made a 4 hour trip to have Dr Hervas do the replacement. If I was on the other side of the country I would travel to see Dr Hervas he is that amazing. The new crown he made me was even better than the first. Couldn't be happier with the results. His staff and Veronica in insurance are also amazing. Money well spent.

(Translated by Google) I recommend Doctor Mauricio Hervas for being an excellent doctor trained to do any job, when you talk about stars one thinks of the sky, but really Doctor Mauricio is a star in what he does, grateful for my first operation on my mouth, apart Being trained with academic degrees has something that is born with those who have a profession how they are and their dedication, they have never been so comfortable with the work of a doctor, for everyone who lives in the United States we know that doctors have a certain time to attend to a patient, in the case of Doctor Hervas you do not feel your time is limited in his office, on the contrary he attends to you and listens to the concerns without being rushed at all from the first day I felt very well treated, but this It is not only his capacity as a doctor that he has an incredible team who serve like angels, Mrs. Veronica who is the Manager of the office was in communication with my daughter throughout my life. i operation, gave her peace of mind an excellence that many doctors do not have someone like her, all I can say is little but what would be most interesting to know who is reading this is that I left the operation with my medications and the next day I He saw and asked me how I felt and I told him as if he hadn't done anything to me doctor, zero pain or discomfort I know that is incredible to believe but that is zero pain or discomfort, nothing that is well trained and his professionalism and passion with the That he works makes him well recognized not to make any mistakes and to feel that his hands are evaluated as directed by God. My gratitude will be eternal for returning my smile and my desire to continue smiling. (Original) Recomiendo al Doctor Mauricio Hervas por ser un excelentisimo medico capacitado para hacer cualquier trabajo , cuando se habla de estrellas uno piensa en el cielo, pero realmente el doctor Mauricio es una estrella en lo que hace, agradecida de mi primera operacion en mi boca , aparte de estar capacitado con titulos academicos tiene algo que nace con quien tiene una profesion como esta y es su entrega, jamas habia estado tan a gusto con el trabajo de un medico, para todo el que vive en los Estados Unidos sabemos que los medicos tienen cierto tiempo para atender a un paciente, en el caso del Doctor Hervas no sientes tu tiempo limitado en su consultorio, todo lo contrario te atiende y escucha las inquietudes sin que para nada se vea apurado desde el primer dia me senti muy bien tratada, pero esto no es solo a su capacidad como medico consta con un equipo increible que atienden como angeles , la senora Veronica que es la Manager de la oficina se estuvo comunicado con mi hija durante toda mi operacion , le dio tranquilidad una excelencia que muchos doctores no tienen a alguien como ella, todo lo que pueda decir es poco pero lo que mas interesaria saber a quien este leyendo esto es que sali de la operacion con mis medicamentos y al dia siguiente me vio y me pregunto que como me sentia y le dije como si no me hubiera hecho nada doctor , cero dolor ni molestia se que resulta increible de creer pero asi es cero dolor ni molestias, nada que esta bien capacitado y su profesionalismo y pasion con la que trabaja lo hace bien reconocido a no cometer error alguno y sentir que sus manos estan evaluadas como dirigidas por Dios. Mi agradecimiento va ser eterno por devolverme la sonrisa y mis ganas de seguir sonriendo.

Dr. Hervas is the most passionate and phenomenal prosthodontist ever. I had a very complicated case and suffered a large defect that left me with no bone or gums and a botched surgery many years ago. After asking numerous dentists in reconstruction and getting denied time and again, Dr. Hervas was the only one willing to attempt to reconstruct my four front teeth. Aside from his passion for what he does, he is incredibly skilled and gave me a smile that's to die for. He is very open and honest about possibilities and time frames. His staff is always so wonderful and welcoming. After going to the office for many years and for a variety of procedures to get to where I am today, I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hervas, his capabilities, and his staff.

Dr. Hervas qualifies for the 3 C's. Capable, competent, and caring. I was hesitant to get my work done, but the minute I walked in there I knew it was the right place. What an excellent and professional team specially Veronica, Office manager and Silvanita. Always following up, and making sure the patient comes first. Highly recommend Dr. Hervas and his team. At my age I have the smile of a teenager. Love it!

(Translated by Google) We came to Dr. Hervas for being the only Double Board Certifid Prosthodontist in South Florida, both in Implants and Prosthodontics and the case of my 14-year-old daughter is very complex, so I did not want anyone to put their hands on her teeth Unless it was a very well trained Dr. Professionally seeking the best, I found out of the best in Prosthodontics, a professional in every sense of the word, a highly ethical and humane person. He focused on what my daughter really needed and not on how she could charge me more money (which is what scared me) the problem was not the budget, but, in what was best for the girl in the long term, and that was exactly what I found with Dr. Hervas. If you are looking for a real, long-term evaluation of a Dr. Who is not thinking about what he is going to charge, but about what you really need, you honestly have to stop by this office. My daughter was left with a beautiful smile (and it is a temporary job, until she finishes growing, that he can proceed with a crown which is what he really needs), my daughter now feels much more confident of herself, I change the smile completely, now he doesn't stop smiling. Dr.Hervas has a totally hygienic office, with a 100% trained staff, the office manager Veronica, was so nice and kind to us, the Dental assistant Silvanita is so professional and well prepared. All this without mentioning that they have their own dental laboratory, exclusively for them, where the work is all directly supervised by Dr. I have never done a review before, but I am so grateful and happy, and I know that there are many people having a lot of work and spending so much money with Doctors who are not really at this level, nor do they have the training that Dr. Hervas has, for which I feel that it would be good to let you know my experience in this office with this Dr. And you can understand what I try to explain in this review. (Original) Llegamos a Dr. Hervas por ser el unico double Board Certifid Prosthodontist en South Florida, tanto en Implantes como en Prostodoncia y el caso de mi hija de 14 anos es bien complejo, por lo que no queria que nadie le pusiera la mano en sus dientes a menos que fuera un Dr. Que estuviera muy bien capacitado. Buscando profesionalmente lo mejor, encontre fuera del mejor en Prostodoncia, un profesional en todo sentido de la palabra, una persona sumamente etica y humano. El se enfoco en lo que mi hija realmente necesitaba y no en como podia cobrarme mas dinero(que eso es lo que me asustaba) el problema no era el presupuesto, sino, en lo que mas le convenia a la nina a largo plazo, y eso fue justamente lo que encontre con Dr. Hervas. Si andas buscando una evaluacion real, a largo plazo de un Dr. Que no esta pensando en lo que va a cobrar, sino, en lo que realmente estas necesitando, honestamente tienes que pasar por esta oficina. Mi hija quedo con una sonrisa hermosa(y es un trabajo temporal, hasta que ella termine de crecer, que ya el pueda proceder con una corona que es lo que realmente necesita), mi hija ahora se siente mucho mas segura de si misma, le cambio la sonrisa por completo, ahora no para de sonreir. Dr.Hervas Tiene una oficina totalmente higienica, con un personal 100% capacitado, la office manager Veronica, fue tan agradable y amable con nosotros, la asistente Dental Silvanita es tan profesional y esta tan bien preparada. Todo esto sin mencionar que ellos tienen su propio laboratorio dental, exclusivamente para ellos, donde los trabajos son todos supervisados directamente por el Dr. Nunca antes habia hecho un review, pero estoy tan agradecida y contenta, y se que hay muchas personas pasando mucho trabajo y gastando tanto dinero con Doctores Que realmente no estan a este nivel, ni tienen la capacitacion que tiene Dr. Hervas, por lo cual siento que seria bueno dejarles saber mi experiencia en esta oficina con este Dr. Y puedan entender lo trato de explicar en este review.
