Tooth Implants

Dental Implants in Atlanta, GA

Dental implants are the replacement of tooth roots. Implants provide enough support for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Dental implants, which are placed in the bone, are small posts made of a bio-compatible metal named titanium. The anchors begin to fuse with the jawbone over three to six months. After the fusing process, called osseointegration, abutments are inserted into the posts to allow for the permanent attachment of the implant crowns.
 

Types of Dental Implants:

All-on-4 Implant Denture

This denture, often called an all-on-4 is a unique implant denture that allows patients who are missing all of their teeth in one or both arches to replace an entire arch of teeth using 4 implants.
This solution offers many advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to care for, this solution can imitate the aesthetic and function of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants as permanent anchors. Patients will not experience the rocking or gingival irritation they experience with dentures. Patients can often have a full arch of teeth in one day, reducing overall cost and healing time for the patient.
Just like implant-supported dentures, Full arch implant prosthetics help alleviate the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area surrounding the implant. This process is known as osseointegration.
With this implant-supported full arch, there is no resin or metal covering the palate, so speaking and eating are more comfortable and more natural than with a traditional denture.

Implant-Supported Over Dentures

Implant-supported dentures can be either fixed or removable. This prosthetic requires the placement of at least two implants. If a removable option is selected, the denture will sit onto the implant rather than requiring the use of denture paste. Removable dentures must be taken out for cleaning at night.
This option offers more advantages over regular dentures.
Easy to maintain, this solution can mimic the look and feel of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not feel the typical movement and rocking or gingival irritation they usually have with dentures.
Dental implant placement can also help prevent the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area around the implant. This process is known as osseointegration and can also help prevent future bone loss.

Guided Dental Implant Placement

With Cone Beam CT and restorative virtual treatment planning, and with specialized training, guided implant placement is the standard of care.
Using a virtual 3-D model or a physical model, implant surgery and the following prosthetic work can be simulated to create the ideal treatment plan for patients. These simulations allow the doctor to take multiple aspects of implant placement and restoration into consideration, resulting in predictable aesthetic outcome, function, and longevity for the patient’s final restoration. Working with a 3D model also lets the patient picture the procedures and visualize the end result.
When treatment planning is complete, specialized computer applications can be used to create a surgical guide for use during implant placement. This guide directs the exact angulation and depth of the implant. The use of this type of appliance increases the safety and accuracy of the surgery.
 

Dental Implant-Supported Bridge

An implant-supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where multiple teeth in a row are missing. The bridge usually replaces three or more adjacent missing teeth without the use of a denture. This prosthetic usually requires at least implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for the patients’ natural teeth.
