About Dental Implants in Smyrna, GA
A solution for restoring your beautiful smile is possible with implant dentistry. It is an effective, long-term solution that replaces severely damaged teeth. MINT dentistry is happy to provide dental implants with custom restorations to individuals in Smyrna, GA who want a tooth replacement solution that functions and feels like natural teeth. A dental implant is a titanium post that's placed in your jaw (by a board-certified oral surgeon) to mimic the missing tooth root. The implanted post or posts will be attached to a restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) for a result that is natural-looking and lasts for years. If you have to replace a missing tooth or teeth, contact MINT dentistry in Smyrna, GA. During this consultation at our state-of-the-art dental office, you will get to know more about our commitment to helping our patients achieve their goals while achieving optimal oral function.
All-On-4ยฎ Dental Implants
Nobel Biocare™ is a leader in the implant dentistry field. They make full-arch restoration possible with their customized All-on-4 full-arch dentures. All-on-4 implant dentures work by posting metal posts (the dental implants) at strategic points on each arch. Compared to other types of implant-supported dentures, All-on-4 offers a better fit with as few as four posts. The MINT dentistry team recommends All-on-4 implants to get a fully restored smile minus the restrictions or hassles that come with traditional dentures. Many MINT patients love the benefits of the advanced All-on-4 process, enjoying high-quality results. If you're interested in finding out more about All-on-4 implants and custom dentures, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at MINT dentistry in Smyrna, GA.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you are missing one tooth or several teeth, our professionals at MINT dentistry oftentimes suggest patients get a crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture to reestablish their smile. You may be an ideal candidate for implant dentistry if you have one or more traditional restorations but are unsatisfied with its appearance or maintenance. During your consultation at MINT dentistry, our skilled team will examine your gums and jawbone to decide if a dental implant will help you achieve your goal smile. You are probably not a candidate for dental implants if you have a periodontal condition, use tobacco products, or may become pregnant during the implant process.
How Are Dental Implants Placed?
If you need jawbone grafting or gum grafting, it will be discussed before your dental implant appointment is scheduled. In the case that you do, these treatments will be performed before your implant surgery. Once your mouth is approved for implants, our team will schedule your implant placement surgery. To begin your appointment, our team will help you to fully relax in one of our massaging treatment chairs where we will give you Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses. Next, your doctor will administer your choice of sedation if needed. Then, your board-certified oral surgeon will make an incision(s) in your gums and fit the titanium post(s) into your jawbone. We will repeat this process if more than one implant is needed. The gums will then be closed, leaving the top of the implant visible over the top of your gumline. Over the next several months, your implant(s) will integrate with the gums and jawbone. During this time, a temporary restoration will be placed to cover the implant(s). Once you're healed, our Smyrna, GA team will attach your custom crown, bridge, or denture to the post(s) so you can start smiling, eating, and speaking like normal.
Dental Implant Surgery Aftercare
After your surgery is complete, you should expect gum swelling. You may also experience swelling in your face along with bleeding, bruising, and discomfort. It's normal for the symptoms to be temporary, but if you have concerns or lasting symptoms, please contact us. Our team may prescribe antibiotics and/or pain medication along with detailed aftercare instructions, like what activities to avoid, so your recovery is smooth. When your implant(s) has integrated and your restoration has been attached, you should follow a good dental care routine at home, including flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day. Follow-up appointments to check your progress will be scheduled. MINT dentistry suggests you continue scheduling appointments twice a year for professional cleanings to keep both your natural teeth and restorations healthy and attractive for a long time.
The MINT Commitment
The cost of your implant procedure and restoration will differ, depending on your insurance, but part of the treatment may be paid. We will contact your insurance provider to determine your policy and calculate your costs. During your consultation with your MINT dentistry team, we can discuss the payment methods accepted by our office, including low-interest medical financing. At MINT dentistry, we are committed to helping Smyrna, GA patients get a healthy, beautiful smile. If you don't have dental insurance, ask your dentist for more information on the MINT Discount Plan, which was created to make it easier to afford necessary treatments, like dental implants.
