Eat the Foods You Love After Implant Procedures in St. Petersburg
If you have lost your teeth, it impacts your entire life. You don’t get to enjoy the foods you love, and you start to feel self-conscious about your smile. Unless you replace the tooth roots, you lose bone in your jaw, which makes you look older. That’s why so many patients benefit from implant procedures in St. Petersburg.
Restore Your Smile’s Appearance & Oral Function With Dental Implants
Replacing an entire arch of teeth requires special training and technology. In addition to being an award-winning periodontist, Dr. Crawford has years of experience using implants to restore smiles. Cutting-edge equipment like 3-D and 4-D imaging helps prepare for your procedure. This information ensures great results, whether you are replacing one tooth or many teeth with implants.
He’ll also determine if you need other procedures before you get implants. He can perform any gum treatment or oral surgery that may be necessary.
BLAST (Biologically Enhanced Laser-Assisted Stimulation Technique)
BLAST (Biologically Enhanced Laser-Assisted Stimulation Technique) is an innovative laser-based procedure designed to enhance healing around dental implants. This advanced technique uses targeted laser energy to disinfect the implant surface and stimulate the surrounding bone and soft tissues. By promoting cellular activity and improving blood flow, BLAST supports faster healing and better integration of the implant.
The procedure is minimally invasive, comfortable, and highly effective in improving implant stability. BLAST is especially beneficial for maintaining long-term implant health and preventing complications.
LAIP (Laser-Assisted Implant Procedure)
LAIP (Laser-Assisted Implant Procedure) is an advanced technique that uses precise laser technology to support the placement and maintenance of dental implants. This minimally invasive procedure helps disinfect the implant site, remove bacteria, and prepare the surrounding tissues for optimal healing. By reducing inflammation and promoting a cleaner surgical environment, LAIP enhances the success rate of implant procedures.
One of the key benefits of LAIP is improved patient comfort, with less bleeding, swelling, and faster recovery compared to traditional methods. The laser also stimulates tissue regeneration, supporting stronger integration between the implant and bone, ensuring long-term stability and improved overall oral health.
Comprehensive Implant Options
If you are ready to move forward, you'll find comprehensive implant options:
All-on-4/6 Dental Implants
Using fewer implants to secure an arch of teeth results in faster treatment and shorter healing time. Dr. Crawford often uses six implants instead of four, to better support your new teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
He'll secure your dentures to implants, so you don't have to use adhesive any longer. They'll feel and function like your natural teeth. You can choose from several types of dentures.
Snap-in Dentures
You can snap your dentures in on top of implants. Your teeth will still be removable but remain secure without adhesive.

An Experience Patients Trust
Dr. Crawford provided exceptional and compassionate service by helping me fix my left front tooth, which is an implant that fell out. Dr. Crawford came to the office during a holiday weekend to bring healing. They were warm, kind, and I felt as if I were a family member. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford's office to anyone looking for a highly skilled and empathetic specialty dentist.

I've been a patient with Dr. Crawford for nearly 25 years. He and his staff are very up to date on new procedures, very friendly, efficient, easy to work with if you need to rearrange appointments and helpful dealing with insurance. I think you would have a hard time finding another office with more knowledge and experience to handle your periodontal issues.

Dr. Crawford and his staff are wonderful. They are friendly, competent, and compassionate. They make you feel comfortable and relaxed. They have taken care of my teeth for decades. I seriously doubt I would still have my own teeth if it were not for their care. And I am 80 years old! I recommend Dr. Crawford without hesitation.
