Dental Implants in Norcross, GA

A sustainable and effective treatment for replacing teeth so that you can get a sexy smile is implant dentistry. MINT dentistry is pleased to offer custom-made dental implants and restorations to individuals in Norcross, GA who want a tooth replacement solution that looks and feels just like their own teeth. An implant is a post that's surgically placed in your gums and jawbone (performed by a board-certified oral surgeon) to mimic the lost root of your tooth. This post(s) can then be attached to a crown, bridge, or denture restoration that is natural-looking and lasts for years. If you want to restore your smile by replacing one or more teeth, schedule a consultation at MINT dentistry in Norcross, GA. During your appointment at our modern dental office, you will learn about our commitment to helping you reach your aesthetic goals while maintaining ideal dental wellness.

Full-arch restorations made by Nobel Biocare™ make one of the most popular All-on-4® custom dentures. This process works by inserting the screws (dental implants) into strategic areas on each arch. 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 implant-supported dentures for patients who are looking for a beautifully restored smile minus the hassle or the dietary restrictions of removable dentures. Many MINT patients appreciate the benefits of the groundbreaking All-on-4 process with amazing, high-quality results. If you're interested in finding out more about All-on-4 implanted dentures, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at our dental facility in Norcross, GA.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or multiple teeth, our team may suggest a crown, bridge, or denture supported by implants to restore your smile. You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you already have a traditional restoration but don't like the way it looks or feels. At your consultation, a board-certified doctor will assess your jawbone and gums to decide if you are a good candidate for implant dentistry. You are probably not a candidate for dental implants if you are being treated for gum disease, use tobacco products, or may become pregnant during the implant process.

During your consultation, we will discuss all of your options and make sure that gum or bone grafting isn’t necessary. If you do, these treatments will be performed before your implant surgery is scheduled. When you are approved for implants, we will schedule your implant placement surgery. At the start of your appointment, our staff will show you to the procedure room so you can begin to relax in the massaging treatment chair where we will give you a pair of MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones. When you are ready, your doctor will administer your anesthesia, and if needed, sedation. Then, the oral surgeon will make the needed incision(s) in your gums and place the metal implant post(s) in your jaw. This process will be repeated 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 few months, your post(s) will integrate with your gums and jawbone. During this time, a temporary restoration will be used to protect the post(s). As soon as your mouth has healed, our Norcross, GA dental professionals will connect your custom crown, bridge, or denture to the post(s) so you can start smiling, eating, and speaking like normal.

Some swelling in the mouth and lower face, as well as bleeding and bruising, are all likely after you’ve undergone oral surgery. It's normal for the symptoms to be temporary, but please contact us if your symptoms last too long or seem abnormal. We may write you a prescription for pain medications and antibiotics along with detailed aftercare instructions, including what activities to avoid, to help you recover smoothly. As soon as your implant(s) has integrated and your restoration has been connected, you need to 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 biannual cleanings to keep both your natural teeth and restorations healthy and attractive for a long time.

Your dental implant cost may be partially covered, depending on your dental insurance. We will contact your insurance to clarify your policy and determine your costs. During your consultation with the doctor, we can discuss which payment methods our office accepts and we can give you information on medical financing. At MINT dentistry, we are dedicated to helping Norcross, GA patients get a healthy, beautiful smile. If you do not have insurance, ask your dentist if you are eligible for the MINT Discount Plan, which helps you fit restorative treatments, like dental implants, into your budget.

Implant dentistry helps to give you an attractive replacement you can count on to look natural and stay in place, even if you are missing one tooth or several. Cleaned just like your natural teeth, implants can rejuvenate your smile. Using modern dental technologies and cutting-edge techniques, MINT dentistry can help you achieve the smile you want through dental implants.
