Dental Implants in Lilburn, GA

For a dazzling smile, dental implants are a long-lasting and effective solution for replacing a missing tooth or teeth. MINT dentistry is pleased to offer dental implants with custom restorations to our patients in Lilburn, GA to help them enjoy a tooth replacement option that looks and feels like their own teeth. An implant is a post that's placed in your jaw (performed by a board-certified oral surgeon) to mimic the lost root of your tooth. This post(s) 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 have to replace one or more teeth, please schedule an appointment for a consultation at MINT dentistry in Lilburn, GA. During this appointment at our state-of-the-art dental practice, you will learn about our mission to help you reach your goals while attaining ideal oral health.

Nobel Biocare™ manufactures All-on-4® dental implants, which provide a comprehensive way to secure dentures for a full-arch restoration. 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. We recommend All-on-4 implants if you want a restored smile minus the hassle or the dietary restrictions that come with traditional dentures. A lot of MINT patients appreciate the benefits of the advanced All-on-4 procedure, enjoying high-quality results. If you'd like to learn about the advantages of All-on-4 implanted dentures, we invite you to schedule an appointment at our dental center in Lilburn, GA.

Our MINT dental team may suggest an implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture to restore your smile if you are missing one tooth or several. You may be a good candidate for implant dentistry if you currently have a traditional dental restoration but still feel unsatisfied with the way it looks or feels. During your dental consultation, a board-certified doctor will assess your mouth, particularly your gums and jawbone, to decide if a dental implant will help you achieve your ideal smile. You may not be a candidate for dental implants if we need to treat you for gum disease, are pregnant, or use tobacco products.

Before scheduling your appointment for implant placement, your MINT dentistry team will make sure you do not need gum or bone treatments. If you do, we will complete these procedures before scheduling your implant surgery. When your mouth is ready for implants, our team will schedule your oral surgery to place the implant post(s). To begin your implant surgery, our staff helps you fully relax in one of our massaging treatment chairs, provides a pair of MINT sunglasses, and offers Beats headphones. When you are ready, your doctor will administer anesthesia, and if needed, sedation. Then, one of our board-certified oral surgeons will make the needed incision(s) in your mouth and fit the metal post(s) in your jaw. We will repeat this process if more than one implant is needed. 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 begin to integrate with your gums and jawbone. During this time, we place a temporary crown, bridge, or denture to cover the implant(s). Once your mouth has healed, our Lilburn, GA team will connect your custom restoration to the post(s), revealing a gorgeous new smile.

Due to the nature of the surgery, you should expect some swelling, bruising, discomfort, and bleeding. It's normal for the symptoms to be temporary, but please contact us if your symptoms last too long or seem abnormal. Our team may prescribe pain medications and antibiotics along with detailed instructions, including what activities to avoid, to speed up your recovery. When your implant(s) has healed and your custom crown, bridge, or denture has been attached, you need to maintain a good dental care routine at home, including flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day. We may ask you to schedule follow-up appointments so we can monitor your progress. MINT dentistry suggests you schedule appointments twice a year for professional cleanings to maintain the health and appearance of your restorations and natural teeth.

Depending on your dental insurance and specific coverage, some of the cost of your implant placement procedure and restoration may be covered. A member of our finance team will speak to your insurance provider to understand your policy and calculate your remaining bill. In your consultation with the team, we will discuss the payment methods accepted by our office, including medical financing. At MINT dentistry, we are committed to making sure all Lilburn, GA patients have sexy teeth. If you don't have insurance, please ask us about the MINT Discount Plan, which makes it easier to afford regular dental care and restorative treatments.
