Dental Implant Restoration in North Port, FL
We handle the crown. A trusted specialist handles the rest.
A dental implant gets you two kinds of expertise, and each one matters. A local oral surgeon or periodontist places the implant, the small post that replaces the root of the missing tooth. Dr. McCartney plans the case with that specialist from the start, then designs, fits, and attaches the part everyone sees: the crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture. You keep the same dentist you already know through the whole process, and he makes sure the finished tooth fits your bite and matches your smile.
How It Works
A Coordinated Team Approach
Implants work best when the surgeon and the restoring dentist are working toward the same result. At McCartney Dental, Dr. McCartney:
- Examines the area and talks you through whether an implant is a good option compared with a bridge or partial denture
- Refers you to a local specialist we trust, or works with the one you already see
- Coordinates directly with your surgeon on planning and timing, so you aren't left passing messages between offices
- Restores the implant once it has healed, with a custom crown, a bridge, or an implant-supported denture
We don't place implants surgically in our office. We'll always be clear about who does what.
What to Expect
Insurance and Cost
Implant treatment involves two offices and several steps, so cost questions come up early. We verify your benefits before treatment, and for larger cases our treatment plan coordinator sets aside time to walk you through your coverage and payment options. We recommend submitting a pre-determination to your insurer when applicable.
We accept most insurance plans, offer discounts for patients without coverage, and accept CareCredit (subject to credit approval). The placement fee is billed separately by the specialist's office. Cost is confirmed before treatment.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does McCartney Dental place dental implants?
No. A trusted local oral surgeon or periodontist places the implant. Dr. McCartney plans the case with them and handles the restoration: the crown, bridge, or denture attached to the implant.
Can I see my own surgeon?
Yes. If you already have a specialist, we'll coordinate with them. If you don't, we can refer you to one we trust.
Will my insurance cover implants?
It depends on your plan. We contact your carrier ahead of time and explain what's typically covered, your annual maximum, and how much of it you have left.
Can implants support a denture?
Yes, implants can anchor a denture for a more secure fit. Dr. McCartney can talk with you about whether this is an option for you.

I was looking for an independent dentist after visiting other businesses that are part of a large chain. I was impressed with the courtesy and great treatment provided on my initial visit to McCartney Dental. From front desk to Mr McCartney it was very pleasant. I would recommend this office if you prefer a more personal experience for your dental needs. A special thanks to Tessa.
