What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants themselves are small titanium posts that are secured below the gumline and into the jawbone to replace the missing root structure. Due to their biocompatibility, they’re able to naturally fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This provides a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth to be secured to, improving prosthetics' stability and strength.

The 4-Step Dental Implant Process

  • Consultation. During your consultation, our team will gather your medical and dental history and conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, being sure to also capture X-rays. This will allow them to tell whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants.
  • Surgery. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll schedule your dental implant surgery as soon as possible. Depending on your case, it will either be done in-house by one of our trained professionals, or we may partner with a local specialist to place the implants.
  • Healing. Over the next three to six months, your implants will fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. We’ll then secure small metal connector pieces, called abutments, onto the implants that will allow your restoration to clip onto them.
  • Restoration. As soon as we receive your custom-crafted prosthetic from our dental laboratory, we’ll call you in to secure it to your implants and complete your smile.

Who Dental Implants Can Help

One great benefit of dental implants is that they’re an incredibly versatile treatment and a great option for patients whether they’re missing one, several, or all of their teeth. The best way to learn whether you’re a good candidate is to schedule a consultation with one of our friendly and experienced implant dentists in Atlanta. They’ll examine your mouth and determine if and how we can restore your smile using any of the dental implant treatment methods mentioned below.

Missing One Tooth

For a single missing tooth, we can place one dental implant below the gumline and into the jawbone. Once it has fused with the bone, we can secure a dental crown to the post. This will prevent the need for any alteration of your natural teeth because the restoration will be anchored to the implant itself.

Missing Multiple Teeth

To secure a dental bridge, we can place two dental implants at either end of the gap in your smile. Instead of being anchored to your existing teeth, requiring them to be altered to accommodate a traditional bridge, we’ll secure them to a foundation fused with your jawbone, making the prosthetic stronger and more stable.

Missing All of Your Teeth

To restore an entire arch of teeth, we can secure a denture to anywhere from four to six dental implants surgically placed below the gumline. This will prevent any slipping or shifting of the prosthetic, improving your biting and speaking abilities greatly.
