Dental implants in Midtown Miami are a short hop from home: Prana Dental is about 5 minutes east of the Midtown Miami shopping area, on Biscayne Blvd at NE 30th Street. Dr. Aakash Rana, DDS replaces one missing tooth or a short row of them with implants, and the same family practice can see the rest of your household too.
One tooth, from $1,999. The implant, its abutment and the crown are all in that starting price, and you get yours in writing ahead of treatment.
Midtown is mostly mid-rise and high-rise apartments around N Miami Ave and NE 2nd Ave, home to many younger professionals, couples and families with small kids. Tooth loss here often looks different from older neighborhoods: a front tooth knocked out playing sports, a molar that cracked after an old root canal, or a baby tooth that was never followed by an adult one.
Replacing that tooth while you're young has a practical side. Once a tooth is gone, the bone underneath can slowly shrink and the teeth beside it can drift into the space, so waiting years tends to make the eventual fix more involved.
Implants are for adults whose jaws have finished growing. If your teenager is missing a tooth, Dr. Rana can talk through short-term options until they're old enough, and kids and teens are seen here for regular checkups.
By car, it's about 5 minutes depending on traffic: head east on NE 29th Street or NE 36th Street to Biscayne Blvd, then to NE 30th Street. The address is 3050 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 703.
Some Midtown residents are close enough to walk, about a mile. Citi Bike Miami stations dot the area if you'd rather ride, and Metrobus routes run along Biscayne, with current routes and times in the GO Miami-Dade Transit app. Drivers will find building parking and street parking, and rideshare can drop you at the door on Biscayne Blvd.

A single implant replaces one tooth with its own post, abutment and crown, and leaves the healthy teeth next to it untouched. When two or three neighboring teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge can fill the space on fewer posts. Which one fits depends on how many teeth are gone, where they are and how much bone the scan shows. For the full picture of how implants work, see our dental implants page.
If the tooth was lost to an injury, the scan also shows whether the bone around it was damaged, which affects the timing of the implant.
It begins with a free first visit: an exam, a 3D scan and a smile preview that shows how the replacement could look in your smile.
If planning needs more detail on your bone, such as X-rays or a CBCT scan, you're told why and what it costs before anything is taken. Dr. Rana plans and treats the case himself and refers complex grafting or surgical cases to an oral surgeon. Once the post has fused with the bone, which often takes a few months depending on your health, our in-house lab makes your crown.
Nervous about the procedure? Oral sedation is available; our sedation page explains how it works.
Expect a starting price of $1,999 per replaced tooth, implant through crown. Add-ons like an extraction, a graft or sedation are listed line by line before you decide.
If paying all at once doesn't suit your budget, 0% financing options on approved credit through CareCredit, Cherry and LendingClub can spread the cost over time. Most major dental insurance is accepted; plans differ a lot on implants, so we check your benefits for you.
Appointments run Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm. Call or text (786) 579-0521; the team speaks English and Spanish.
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.
Many people can. It's about a mile from the Midtown Miami shopping area to the office on Biscayne Blvd at NE 30th Street. If you're having oral sedation, line up a ride home instead.
Often, yes. Some adults are born without certain permanent teeth and keep a baby tooth for years. When that baby tooth is lost, an implant is one common way to fill the space, provided there's enough bone. A 3D scan at your first visit shows whether the bone is there.
Implants are usually placed only after the jaw has stopped growing, which is often in the late teens or later. Placing one too early can leave it out of line as the face keeps developing. Dr. Rana can check your teen and talk about temporary options until then.
Sooner is often simpler, because bone can shrink once a tooth is gone. Some implants are placed right after an extraction, while others need healing time or a graft first. It depends on the site, and the scan helps decide.
The whole family. We see kids, teens and adults for checkups and general care, so a Midtown household can keep everyone at one office.
