Dental Implants in Marietta, GA

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — the only option that replaces both the root and the crown of a tooth, preserving jawbone density and providing a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth. Unlike dentures, implants are permanently fixed and eliminate concerns about fit, slippage, and dietary restrictions.

The implant consists of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone where the tooth root once was. Over the following 3–6 months, the bone grows around and fuses to the implant in a process called osseointegration. Once fully integrated, a custom porcelain or zirconia crown is attached to the implant.

Candidacy for dental implants depends on having adequate bone density, healthy gum tissue, and good overall health. Patients who have experienced bone loss may require a bone graft before implant placement.

With proper care — regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings — dental implants can last a lifetime. They are the most durable and cost-effective tooth replacement option over the long term.
