Dental Implants Decatur, GA

Implant dentistry is an effective solution for a missing tooth or teeth that helps provide a stunning smile and is long-lasting. MINT dentistry is excited to offer custom-made dental implants and restorations to individuals in Decatur, GA, who desire a tooth replacement option that looks, feels, and works like natural teeth. A dental implant is a metal post that's surgically placed in your jaw (by one of our board-certified oral surgeons) to replace the lost root of your tooth. The post(s) will be attached to a restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) for a result that looks natural and lasts a long time. If you want to restore your smile by replacing one or more teeth, contact MINT dentistry in Decatur, GA. During your appointment at our state-of-the-art dental facility, you will learn about MINT dentistry's mission to help our patients achieve their goals along with ideal oral health.

All-on-4® by Nobel Biocare™ is a top name in dental implants, providing comprehensive full-arch restorations in conjunction with custom dentures. This process works by inserting the screws (dental implants) at strategic points on the upper and/or lower arch. Compared to other brands of implanted dentures, All-on-4 offers a better fit with as few as four posts. The MINT dentistry team recommends All-on-4 implant-supported dentures if you want a restored smile without the restrictions or hassle of traditional dentures. Many MINT patients have reaped the benefits of the advanced All-on-4 procedure with excellent, high-quality results. If you're interested in discovering more about All-on-4 implants and custom dentures, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at our dental practice in Decatur, GA.

If you're missing one or several teeth, implants alongside a bridge, crown, or dentures can help revitalize your smile. You may be a good candidate for a dental implant or All-on-4® implants if you already have a traditional restoration but are unhappy with dietary restrictions, maintenance, or its general appearance. During your dental consultation, our skilled team will assess your mouth, particularly your gums and jawbone, to decide if you can receive an implant. You may not be a good candidate for dental implants if you suffer from gum disease, use tobacco products, or may become pregnant during the implant process.

Your MINT dentistry team will decide whether or not you require bone or gum grafts. If it is determined that you do, those procedures will be performed and allowed to heal before your implant procedure is done. As soon as your mouth is approved for implants, our team will schedule your oral surgery to place the implant post(s). To begin your implant surgery, a member of 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. Once you are settled in, your doctor will administer your anesthesia and, if needed, sedation. Then, one of our board-certified oral surgeons will make the necessary incision in your gums and place the metal implant post(s) into your jawbone. This process will be repeated until all implants are in place. Finally, your doctor will close your gums, leaving the top of the implant visible over the top of your gumline. Over the next several months, your implant(s) will begin to integrate with the bone and gum. During this time, a temporary crown, bridge, or denture will be used to cover the implant(s). When your mouth has healed, our Decatur, GA dental professionals will connect your custom restoration to the implant(s), revealing a gorgeous new smile.

It’s common to experience side effects like inflammation, bleeding, and bruising following oral surgery. A certain degree of these symptoms is entirely normal, but please get in touch with us if you have concerns or lasting symptoms. We may prescribe pain medications and antibiotics plus detailed instructions, like what activities to avoid, so your recovery is smooth. Once your implant(s) has integrated, and your restoration has been attached, you should maintain an excellent dental care routine at home, including flossing and brushing daily. We may ask you to schedule follow-up appointments so we can monitor your progress. MINT dentistry highly recommends you continue scheduling annual dental exams and bi-annual cleanings so that we can help you keep your restorations gorgeous.

Depending on your dental insurance coverage, some of the costs of oral surgery and restoration might be paid. A member of our finance team will speak to your insurance to clarify your coverage and determine your costs. During your initial consultation with your MINT dentistry team, we will discuss the payment methods accepted by our office, and we can give you information on medical financing. MINT dentistry is dedicated to helping Decatur, GA patients get healthy, beautiful smiles. If you don't have insurance, ask us for more information on the MINT Discount Plan, which can help you better afford your dental care.
