You want to replace all of your teeth at once. Or maybe you’re already wearing dentures and want something that’s more permanent. If that’s the case, you’re in luck! Georgia Denture & Implant Specialists offers a hybrid-type device that blends the efficiency of a denture with the stability of dental implants.

Getting a dental implant is a detailed process that may even require other treatments to be done ahead of time to get your mouth ready.

A dental implant is a post (typically made from titanium) that’s inserted into the jawbone. Getting an implant in Atlanta is a great way to replace missing teeth whether it be a single tooth, several, or even all of your teeth. To ensure that your implant is successful and can withstand the day-to-day pressure of biting and chewing we need to ensure that there will be a sufficient amount of bone to sturdily hold it in place. In some cases where the jaw is lacking, we can do a separate procedure known as bone grafting which will give you enough stable bone to make the implant possible.

Some Atlanta residents may be inclined to live with the gap caused by having a tooth removed, especially if the space doesn’t show when they smile. The decision not to replace a missing tooth just because it’s not visible can actually lead to some unwanted side effects.

At our denture clinic, there are several steps involved in the denture making process that helps ensure the final product is natural, both in its appearance and functionality. The following is a step-by-step explanation of what you can expect when getting your appliance made.

Once you get teeth pulled in Atlanta, or as you age, your bone gradually deteriorates. As a result, your denture, which was very snug to begin with, gets looser and doesn’t fit as well. Luckily there are some things that you can do to improve the fit of your appliance.
