Dental Implants Tucker, GA

Dental implants are a long-lasting, effective way to replace missing teeth and create a gorgeous smile. MINT dentistry is happy to provide dental implants and custom-made restorations to our patients in Tucker, GA to help them find a tooth replacement option that looks, feels, and works like their own teeth. A dental implant is a post that's surgically placed in your jawbone (performed by an experienced oral surgeon) to replace the missing root of your tooth. A crown, bridge, or denture can then be attached to the implant as a tooth replacement restoration that looks natural and lasts for years. If you want to restore your smile by replacing one or more teeth, make an appointment for a consultation at MINT dentistry in Tucker, GA. During your appointment at our patient-centered dental facility, you will get to know more about MINT dentistry’s commitment to help you reach your smile goals while maintaining ideal dental function.

All-on-4® dental implants from Nobel Biocare™ provide a comprehensive way to secure a full-arch dental restoration for tooth replacement. All-on-4 dental implants work by positioning metal posts (dental implants) at strategic points on each arch, which are then used to strongly support an entire set of replacement teeth. Compared to other implant-denture solutions, the All-on-4 treatment concept can create a more secure fit with fewer posts. The MINT dentistry team may recommend All-on-4 implants for patients who are looking for a fully restored smile without the glues, soaking, or dietary restrictions of traditional dentures. Many MINT patients appreciate the benefits of the groundbreaking All-on-4 process, enjoying high-quality results. If you'd like to learn about the advantages of All-on-4 implants and custom full-arch appliances, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our dental office in Tucker, GA.

Our MINT dentists may recommend implant-supported crowns, dentures, or bridges to replace teeth that have been lost. You may also be a candidate for a single implant, an implant bridge or denture, or All-on-4 implants if you have a traditional tooth replacement appliance but are unhappy with its appearance or maintenance. During your dental implant consultation at MINT dentistry, our skilled team will assess your oral health, particularly your gums and jawbone, to determine if you are a good candidate for implant dentistry. You may not be a good candidate for implants if you have a periodontal condition, use tobacco products, or may become pregnant during the implant process.

During your consultation, our team will decide if you require jawbone or gum grafting services. If it is determined that you do, those treatments will be completed beforehand. Once you are approved for implants, we will schedule your oral surgery to place the implant post(s). At the start of your appointment, your team will show you to the procedure room so you can begin to relax in the massaging treatment chair, where you will be given a pair of MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones. When you are ready, your doctor will administer dental anesthesia and, if needed, sedation. Then, the oral surgeon will make the needed incision(s) in your mouth and position the titanium post(s) into your jaw. This process will be repeated until all implants are in place. Finally, your doctor will close your gums over the implant or may leave the post visible above the gumline. Over the next several months, your implant(s) will integrate with the gums and jawbone. While this occurs, a temporary restoration may be placed to cover the post(s). As soon as you're healed, our Tucker, GA dentists will connect your custom implant restoration to the post(s), so you can start smiling, eating, and speaking like normal.

Following surgery, you will probably have some inflammation in your gums and lower face, as well as possible discomfort, bruising, and bleeding. These symptoms are normally mild to moderate and temporary, but severe or prolonged symptoms should be reported to our office. Our team may write you a prescription for antibiotics and/or pain medication plus detailed instructions, including what activities to avoid, to speed your recovery. When your implant(s) has integrated, and your crown, bridge, or denture has been connected, you should follow a good dental care routine at home, including flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day. You may be asked to schedule follow-up appointments that will allow us a chance to check and adjust your restoration. MINT dentistry highly recommends you continue attending annual dental exams and bi-annual cleanings to keep both your natural teeth and restorations healthy and attractive.

If you have dental insurance, a portion of the cost of your implant placement procedure and custom restoration may be paid. Our office will contact your insurance to review your coverage and determine your out-of-pocket expenses. During your initial consultation, we can discuss the payment methods we accept, including low-interest financing. MINT dentistry is dedicated to helping all Tucker, GA patients attain a healthy, beautiful smile. If you don't have insurance, ask us if you are eligible for the MINT Discount Plan, which can help you better afford your dental care.
