For office and government workers, dental implants in Downtown Miami usually come down to one question: how to fit several visits around a fixed workday. Prana Dental is 10 to 15 minutes north on Biscayne Blvd in Edgewater, depending on traffic, with 8am to 8pm hours Monday to Saturday.
Starting at $1,999 a tooth. One price bundles the implant, abutment and crown; the final number is written down for you before any treatment.
Downtown is office towers, county and city buildings, and condos around Bayfront Park and Bayside Marketplace. Many people who work there keep set hours and a limited number of personal days, so they want to know exactly how many appointments an implant takes before they commit.
A typical single-tooth case is a first visit, sometimes a planning appointment, the placement, a healing check or two, and the crown visit. Spaced over a few months, that's manageable when the appointments fall outside your core hours.
If you have benefits through an employer, the plan year can matter. Many plans reset annually, and some patients schedule placement and the crown in different benefit years; whether that helps depends on your plan, which is why we check your benefits for you.
Driving, stay on Biscayne Blvd heading north. You'll pass the Adrienne Arsht Center around NE 13th Street and keep going to NE 30th Street, about 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic. Once you arrive, park in the building or on the street close by.
If you ride Metromover, keep in mind it stops at the Omni area: the Omni Loop ends around NE 15th Street, roughly a mile and a half south of the office. From there, a short rideshare, a Metrobus on Biscayne (check the GO Miami-Dade Transit app for routes and times) or a Citi Bike covers the last stretch.
Coming in on Brightline? From the MiamiCentral station, a rideshare north on Biscayne is the most direct option, and the driver can drop you at the building, 3050 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 703.
Implants are one way to replace a missing tooth so it looks and works much like a natural one. They usually suit adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone, and the scan tells us how much bone is there. A single implant stands on its own without involving the neighboring teeth. For two or more teeth in a row, implants can anchor a bridge, which often means fewer posts than missing teeth.
Not everyone is ready right away. Active gum disease is normally treated first, and some people need a bone graft before or during placement. Dr. Rana treats the cases a general dentist can handle safely and refers the rest to an oral surgeon. Our main dental implants page has more on the treatment itself.
The $1,999 starting price for one tooth already includes the implant, abutment and crown. We confirm the exact price in writing before treatment, listing any extraction, graft, imaging or sedation on its own line. Multi-tooth cases are priced by the number of implants and the bridge design.
Our financing partners (CareCredit, Cherry and LendingClub) have 0% options on approved credit. Most major dental insurance plans are accepted, though some exclude implants or have waiting periods, one more reason we check your benefits for you.

Dr. Aakash Rana, DDS is a general dentist trained at NYU College of Dentistry, with more than $100,000 in continuing education. He plans and treats each case at Prana Dental himself, works with our in-house lab, and refers to a specialist when a case needs one.
Metromover's Omni Loop ends around NE 15th Street, about a mile and a half south of the office. Finish the trip with a rideshare, a Metrobus along Biscayne Blvd or a Citi Bike.
A straightforward single tooth usually takes a handful of visits over a few months: the first visit, placement, a healing check or two and the crown. An extraction or a graft adds steps. Most of these can be booked early, in the evening or on a Saturday.
