About Dental Implants in Kennesaw, GA
A long-lasting and effective solution for replacing lost teeth can happen when you decide on implant dentistry. MINT dentistry is excited to provide custom-made dental implants and restorations to our patients in Kennesaw, GA to help them find a tooth replacement solution that looks, feels, and works just like their own teeth. An implant is a post that is placed in your jaw (performed by a board-certified oral surgeon) to mimic the lost root of your tooth. The implanted post or posts can then be attached to a restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) for a result that is natural-looking and lasts a long time. If you want to restore your smile by replacing a missing tooth or teeth, contact MINT dentistry in Kennesaw, GA. During this appointment at our state-of-the-art dental practice, you will get to know more about our mission to help our patients achieve their cosmetic goals while achieving ideal oral wellness.
All-On-4® Dental Implants
Nobel Biocare™ manufactured All-on-4® dental implants to offer a comprehensive way to secure dentures for a full-arch restoration. All-on-4 implant dentures work by posting metal posts (the dental implants) into strategic areas on the upper and/or lower arch. When compared to other types of implant-supported dentures, All-on-4 creates a more secure fit with fewer posts. Our team of dentists recommends All-on-4 implants to get a beautifully restored smile without the glues, soaking, or dietary restrictions of traditional dentures. Many of our patients love the benefits of the groundbreaking All-on-4 procedure with amazing, high-quality results. If you'd like to learn about the advantages of All-on-4 implants and custom dentures, we encourage you to schedule an appointment at our dental facility in Kennesaw, GA.
Reviews
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you are someone who is missing one tooth, or even several teeth, an implant placed along with a bridge, denture, or crown is suggested by our MINT dentistry professionals as a way to restore your smile. You may be a 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. At your consultation at MINT dentistry, we will assess your mouth, particularly your gums and jawbone, to determine if a dental implant will help you achieve your goal smile. You are probably not a good candidate for implants if you have a periodontal condition, are pregnant, or use tobacco products.
How Are Dental Implants Placed?
Before you schedule to have a dental implant, our MINT dentistry team will make certain that you don’t require jawbone or gum grafting ahead of time. If you do, those treatments will be completed beforehand. As soon as you are approved for implants, we will schedule your oral surgery to place the implant post(s). 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. Once you are settled in, your anesthesia or sedation will be administered. Then, your board-certified oral surgeon will make the needed incision(s) in your mouth and fit 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, leaving the top of the implant visible over the top of your gumline. Over the next several months, the implant(s) will integrate with your bone and gum. While this occurs, a temporary restoration will be used to protect the implant(s). As soon as you're healed, our Kennesaw, GA team will connect your custom crown, bridge, or denture to the post(s) so you can start smiling, eating, and speaking like normal.
Dental Implant Surgery Aftercare
The nature of this type of surgery means that it is common to see a bit of swelling in your mouth and face along with some discomfort, bruising, and bleeding. It's normal for the symptoms to be temporary, but severe or prolonged symptoms should be reported to our office. Our team may prescribe pain medications and antibiotics in addition to detailed aftercare 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 need to maintain a good dental care routine at home, including flossing and brushing every day. You may be asked to schedule follow-up appointments that will allow us a chance to check and adjust your restoration. MINT dentistry suggests you keep attending regular appointments for oral health exams and cleanings so that we can help you keep your restorations gorgeous for a long time.
The MINT Commitment
It is important to check with what your dental insurance policies will offer you, as some of your dental implant and restoration might be paid. We will speak to your insurance provider to determine your policy and calculate your remaining bill. In your consultation with the doctor, we can discuss which payment methods our office accepts and we can give you information on low-interest financing. At MINT dentistry, we are dedicated to making sure all Kennesaw, GA patients have sexy teeth. If you do not have dental insurance, ask your dentist for more information on the MINT Discount Plan, which helps you fit restorative treatments, like dental implants, into your budget.
