Smile Strong with Dental Implants!
A permanent, natural-looking solution that replaces missing teeth and restores full function—bite, chew, and smile with total confidence.
Implants
Dental implants are a permanent and highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth. These titanium posts act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants not only restore the function and aesthetics of your smile but also help preserve jawbone density by stimulating bone growth, preventing further bone loss caused by missing teeth.
At West Cobb Dental Studio, we specialize in creating personalized dental implant solutions. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, our team ensures a comfortable and seamless process tailored to your needs.
Process at West Cobb Dental Studio
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation, including X-rays or CBCT scans to evaluate your bone structure and create a treatment plan. During the procedure, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, followed by a custom crown or other restoration to complete your new tooth.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years.
Is the implant procedure painful?
Local anesthesia ensures minimal discomfort during the procedure, and post-operative pain is manageable with medication.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most patients with good oral and general health are candidates. Adequate jawbone density is needed, but bone grafting may be an option for those with insufficient bone.
How do I care for my dental implant?
Implants should be cared for like natural teeth—regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits are essential.
How long does the implant process take?
The entire process, including healing time, usually takes 3-6 months.
