What Is a Dental Implant?

In this video, Dr. Victor Apel, a renowned Melbourne implant dentist, explains implant-retained crowns and how they’re used to treat a variety of cosmetic dental cases.

A dental implant is a surgical device that’s actually implanted into the bone. This acts as a substructure that a crown or other prosthetic can be placed upon. So if you’re missing a tooth or teeth or struggling with a loose denture, give us a call so we can see what is the best option for you.

MEET VICTOR C. APEL, DMD

Dr. Apel has been in practice in Melbourne since 1988. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, he graduated from the University of Louisville’s School of Dental Medicine, a facility for training physicians and dentists. He maintained a successful private practice in Louisville for five years, but Florida’s pleasant climate and the promise of year-round outside activities brought the Apels to the sunshine state.

Dr. Apel is a member in good standing with the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, the Brevard County Dental Society, the International Academy of Mini Dental Implants, and recently earned his fellowship with the International Dental Implant Association. He also maintains ongoing professional relationships with recognized researchers and clinicians.

Dr. Apel is dedicated to providing you with the latest proven treatment methods, participates regularly in courses and seminars and is now a Mini Implant Center of America (MDICA) providing you with revolutionary benefits of mini dental implant dentistry.
