Dental Implants in Conyers, GA

If you have missing teeth, dental implants are an effective, long-term solution for replacing them and getting back your dazzling smile. MINT dentistry is pleased to offer dental implants with custom restorations to individuals in Conyers, GA to help them find a tooth replacement option that looks, feels, and works like natural teeth. A dental implant is a metal post that is placed in your jawbone (performed by a board-certified oral surgeon) to mimic the natural tooth root. The implanted post or posts can then be connected to a restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) that is natural-looking and lasts a long time. If you want to restore your smile by replacing one or more teeth, contact MINT dentistry in Conyers, GA. During this appointment at our modern dental facility, you will get to know more about MINT dentistry’s commitment to help you reach your cosmetic goals while achieving ideal dental function.

Nobel Biocare™ manufactures All-on-4® dental implants, which provide a full-arch restoration with custom dentures. All-on-4 implant dentures work by posting metal posts (the 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. We recommend All-on-4 implanted dentures for patients who are looking for a restored smile without the glues, soaking, or dietary restrictions that come with traditional dentures. Many MINT patients love the benefits of the advanced All-on-4 process, enjoying high-quality results. If you'd like to learn about the advantages of All-on-4 implants and custom dentures, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our dental practice in Conyers, GA.

If you are missing one or several teeth, MINT dentistry professionals suggest a crown, bridge, or denture supported by implants to restore your smile. You may be a candidate for implant dentistry if you already have a traditional restoration but are unhappy with the way it looks or feels. At your implant consultation at MINT dentistry, a board-certified doctor will examine your gums and jawbone to decide if you're able to receive an implant. You may not be a good candidate for dental implants if you have a periodontal condition, use tobacco, or are currently pregnant.

To begin your consultation, we will ensure your gums and jawbone are healthy enough to receive implants and do not require grafts. If you do require grafts, those treatments will be completed beforehand. As soon as your mouth is approved for implants, we will schedule your oral surgery to place the implant post(s). At the start of your appointment, our staff will lead you back to the procedure room and allow you a chance to start relaxing in a comfortable treatment chair where we will give you Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses. Next, your doctor will administer your anesthesia, and if needed, sedation. Then, your board-certified oral surgeon will make the needed incision(s) in your mouth and place the metal post(s) into the bone. We will repeat this process until all implants are in place. The gums will then be closed around the implant, leaving the post visible above the 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 cover the post(s). Once you're healed, our Conyers, GA team will connect your custom crown, bridge, or denture to the implant(s), revealing a gorgeous new smile.

After surgery, you may expect some inflammation in your mouth, as well as bruising, bleeding, and discomfort. A certain degree of these symptoms is completely normal, but severe or prolonged symptoms should be reported to our office. Our team may prescribe pain medications and antibiotics, plus detailed instructions, like dietary recommendations, to help you recover smoothly. When your implant(s) has integrated and your custom restoration has been connected, you should maintain a good home oral care routine, which includes flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day. Follow-up appointments to check your progress will be scheduled. MINT dentistry suggests you keep scheduling dental examinations and cleanings to keep both your natural teeth and restorations healthy and attractive for a long time.

Part of the cost of your dental implant and custom restoration may be covered by your dental insurance coverage. We will speak to your insurance to determine your policy and calculate your remaining bill. During your consultation with the doctor, we can discuss payment methods we accept, including low-interest medical financing. MINT dentistry is committed to helping Conyers, GA patients get a luminous smile. If you do not have insurance, ask us about the MINT Discount Plan, which can help you better afford your dental care.
