Dental Implants in Atlanta, GA

If you have missing teeth, a dental implant could be a long-lasting and effective solution to restore your dazzling smile. MINT dentistry is happy to provide dental implants with custom restorations to individuals in Atlanta, GA to help them find a tooth replacement option that looks and feels like their natural teeth. An implant is a post that is surgically placed in your jawbone (performed by a board-certified oral surgeon) to replace the lost root of your tooth. The implanted post or posts can then be attached to a restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) that looks natural and lasts a long time. To replace a missing tooth or teeth, make an appointment for a consultation at MINT dentistry in Atlanta, GA. During this appointment at our modern dental facility, you will learn about our commitment to helping you reach your cosmetic goals while achieving ideal dental function.

As a leader in implant dentistry, Nobel Biocare™ creates All-on-4®, a comprehensive way to secure dentures for a full-arch restoration. This process works by implanting metal posts (the dental implants) at strategic points on the upper and/or lower arch. When compared to other types of implant-supported dentures, All-on-4 uses fewer posts for a secure fit. The MINT dentistry team recommends All-on-4 implants to get a fully restored smile minus the hassle or the dietary restrictions of traditional dentures. Many MINT patients love the benefits of the cutting-edge All-on-4 process, enjoying high-quality results. If you'd like to learn about the advantages of All-on-4 implanted dentures, we invite you to schedule an appointment at our dental office in Atlanta, GA.

At MINT dentistry, we may recommend a crown, bridge, or denture supported by implants to replace missing teeth. You may be an ideal candidate for implant dentistry if you have one or more traditional restorations but are unsatisfied with the way it looks or feels. During your dental consultation at our office, our skilled team will examine your mouth, particularly your gums and jawbone, to determine if you're able to receive an implant. You may not be a candidate for implants if you have a periodontal condition, are pregnant, or use tobacco products.

During your initial implant dentistry consultation, we will ensure you do not require gum or bone grafting. If you do, these will be completed and allowed to heal before your implant procedure is done. When you are approved for implants, we will schedule your first appointment to begin the process. At the start of your implant surgery, your team will lead you back to the procedure room and allow you a chance to start relaxing in a comfortable treatment chair where you will be given Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses. Next, your doctor will administer your anesthesia, and if needed, sedation. Then, one of our board-certified oral surgeons will make the needed incision(s) in your mouth and place the metal post(s) in the bone. This process will be repeated if more than one implant is needed. Finally, your doctor will close your gums around the implant, leaving the post visible above the gumline. During the next few months, the implant(s) will integrate with your gums and jawbone. During this time, a temporary crown, bridge, or denture will be used to protect the implant(s). Once your mouth has healed, our Atlanta, GA dentists will connect your custom crown, bridge, or denture to the implant(s) so you can start smiling, eating, and speaking like normal.

Directly after surgery, you will have swelling in your gums and face, as well as possible discomfort, bleeding, and bruising. These symptoms are normally mild to moderate and temporary, but please contact us if your symptoms last too long or seem abnormal. Your doctor may prescribe pain medications and antibiotics along with detailed aftercare instructions, like dietary recommendations, to speed your recovery. Once your implant(s) has healed and your restoration has been connected, you need to maintain a good home oral care routine, which includes flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day. Follow-up appointments to check your progress will be scheduled. MINT dentistry suggests you continue scheduling biannual cleanings and annual exams so that we can help you keep your restorations gorgeous for a long time.

Your implant placement procedure may be partially covered by your dental insurance policy. Our office will contact your insurance to determine your policy and calculate your out-of-pocket expenses. During your consultation with your MINT dentistry team, we can discuss payment methods we accept, including low-interest financing. MINT dentistry is dedicated to making sure all Atlanta, GA patients have a luminous smile. If you do not have dental insurance, ask us if you are eligible for the MINT Discount Plan, which can make it easier to afford restorative procedures.
