About Michaud Periodontics & Dental Implants

Michaud Periodontics & Dental Implants is a dental practice on North Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa, Florida. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

How long do dental implants last?
The implant itself is designed to be permanent and frequently lasts decades. The crown attached to it is the part more likely to need replacing over time, and implants can still be lost to gum infection if cleaning is neglected.
What is a bone graft and why might I need one?
Bone shrinks after a tooth is lost, and if there is not enough left to anchor an implant, grafting rebuilds the volume first. It is a common preliminary step when a tooth has been missing for a long time.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

Find someone else! I had the initial work done on my implant but when it came time to do the abutment and crown, he missed 3 appointments in a row and didn't return any phone calls! I'm having to find another provider to complete the job.

Do your homework and you'll see why this Dr. stands out over the rest. His expertise and surgical knowledge is top shelf. This area is lucky to have a Dr. so in touch with patient comfort and understanding of the procedures..

I am so pleased with my experience at Michaud Periodontics & Dental Implants and am so grateful that I was referred. Dr. Michaud is clearly an expert in his field…he knows his science and is generous in sharing it. I never felt like my questions were dumb. I am the kind of person who likes to know what’s happening and interested in the details. I appreciated the explanations of the procedures as he performed them. (And I had a skin graft as well as an abscessed tooth that needed bone filler.) Dr. Michaud even showed me the graft before he sutured it in. After I asked to see it, of course! I appreciate his commitment to healthy practice as he explains reasons he avoids toxic products and methods. I learned much through my experience. He applied anesthesia very gently. Pain should always be expected, but the process was smooth and relaxed. I had a little post-op issue (completely my fault) and received an immediate reply from the office. The staff is so friendly and caring. I also loved having Nadine assist…she’s amazing. The humor in the room is a bonus! Call and make your appointment…Don’t put off fixing your recessed gums. It’s so worth it. Go for Vogue.

I struggled for a few minutes before starting this review to find a word to describe my impression of Dr. Michaud's ethos. He really seems to be striving towards perfection in his practice, not as a "perfectionist" who hems and haws over every tiny detail, but as someone who is perpetually committed to adjusting and improving for the sake of achieving the best result. As someone in his chair, that's my greatest desire as well: The best result. Dr. Michaud carries the confidence and pride of someone who is justifiably satisfied with the quality of their work. Moreover, he has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've visited; He is personable, and genuinely interested in how things go after an appointment, in the sincere way of someone who takes full ownership of their work. If conditions change in the chair, he always reorients to the new situation immediately, confidently, competently, and (as far as I have experienced) always in your own best interest. He is also incredibly skilled at applying anesthetic, as I have yet to feel a single twinge of pain in his chair. I have yet to have any issues afterwards, as well. I am grateful to Dr. Michaud for keeping me fully informed before and after the work, to Kristy for being a competent and comforting presence, and to Sofia for making scheduling, coming and going, and dealing with insurance a pleasant and welcoming experience.

I am so very thankful that I found Dr. Robert Michaud! He is a wonderful periodontist and person. Before going to him I was so afraid and was told by another periodontist in the area that I would need four surgeries for my gum disease. After my first meeting with Dr. Michaud, I left with hope, and was advised that I only needed one surgery. The surgery went well and the staff were all so helpful and kind. I recently went back for my first cleaning and Tiffany is amazing! Everyone that works at his offices are amazing!l Krysta has helped me many times with answering my questions and is always patient and quick to respond, and Brittany always greets me and makes me feel welcome. I will never go to another periodontist. This doctor has truly not only helped improve my gum health, and given me hope, but has made me unafraid of treatment and I have peace of mind knowing he can fix whatever problems may arise in the future. If your dentist has advised that you need to see a periodontist, do not hesitate and make an appointment with Dr. Michaud, you will not be sorry! I wish I could given him ten stars. He truly cares about people and is great at what he does! Thank you Dr. Michaud for everything!!!

I am very happy my regular dentist referred me to Dr. Michaud years ago. The office atmosphere is nice, pleasant & very patient friendly. Dr. Michaud & his staff has impeccable bedside manners & I couldn't ask for a more caring provider! He has performed about 5 implants plus bone grafting for each of the implants. I’m not saying implants are routine but he makes it seem like they are. Even on the last one he had to move my sinus around to make sure the implant did not affect the sinus. If you need any periodontal work performed I highly recommend Dr. Michaud.

I was recommended to Dr. Michaud by another dentist that I went to to get a second opinion on some implants that I had done. The first day I walked into the office I could tell that my experience was going to be a positive one by the way I was treated by the staff. I firmly believe that the way the staff treat customers is a reflection of the owner. When I finally met Dr Michaud he was professional, empathetic and honest. Dr. Michaud went above and beyond to assist me. He even went so far as to contact my previous dentist to highlight his concerns about the implants that were done. I am currently a patient of Dr. Michaud and I have no regrets. The staff continues to be very helpful especially Nicole and Kristy. I highly recommend Dr. Michaud and his staff without any reservations.

I have been a patient of Dr Michaud since 2011. For most of my life I lived with serious periodontal problems and have had numerous oral surgeries with varying success. On my first visit Dr Michaud recommended that I have all my upper teeth removed and replaced with six implants in order to support an over-denture. I also had surgery on my lower teeth that included the placement of two implants to reinforce my lower teeth. Since these surgeries I have not experience any pain from my teeth or gums. It was the best decision I have ever made. Dr Michaud is an excellent doctor. He clearly and patiently explained the procedures, the schedule and the expected outcomes. He and his staff are exceptional in all aspects. I can’t thank them enough for the wonderful dental care they have provided me. James Ward, Tampa, FL
