Why Do Adults Lose Teeth?
The reasons for adult tooth loss in the U.S. vary. Common culprits include:
- Tooth Decay: Years of sugary diets and inadequate dental hygiene can lead to cavities that weaken the tooth structure.
- Gum Disease: Persistent gingivitis or periodontitis erodes gum tissue and bone-supporting teeth.
- Trauma: Accidents, sports injuries, or falls can result in immediate tooth loss.
- Health Conditions: Conditions like diabetes or autoimmune diseases can affect oral health.
The Consequences of Tooth Loss
Tooth loss isn’t just a cosmetic concern. It leads to:
- Functional issues: Difficulty in chewing and speaking.
- Jawbone deterioration: The absence of tooth roots leads to bone loss.
- Facial changes: Loss of facial structure support can lead to premature aging.
- Shift in surrounding teeth: Gaps can cause neighboring teeth to move, leading to alignment issues.

Introducing Dental Implants
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Natural Look & Feel: They're the closest you can get to healthy, natural teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, they can last a lifetime.
- Bone Health: They stimulate the jaw, promoting bone growth and preventing deterioration.
Types of Dental Implants at Marietta Roswell Dental Care
- Single Tooth Implant: Ideal for individuals missing a single tooth. The implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root.
- All-on-4: An innovative solution for those missing all their teeth on the top, bottom, or both. Using just four implants, All-on-4 supports an entire arch of teeth.
- Teeth In A Day: Speed and efficiency define this method. As the name suggests, patients can have their implants placed and receive a full set of temporary teeth — all in one day!
What to Expect During the Implant Procedure
Embarking on the journey to a renewed smile with dental implants is a transformative experience, and at Marietta Roswell Dental Care, we're committed to ensuring it's a comfortable and positive one. If you're curious about what the implant procedure involves, here's a brief overview:
Personalized Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. K. This meeting is where we understand your dental history, specific needs, and your desired outcomes. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess the health of your jawbone and determine the best implant solution for you.
Preparatory Procedures (if required)
Some patients might need bone grafting or sinus lifts to ensure the jawbone can securely hold the implant. If required, these procedures will be explained and completed before implant placement.
Implant Placement
On the day of the procedure, the area is numbed for your comfort. A tiny incision is made in the gum to access the jawbone, where the titanium implant is carefully placed. This implant acts as a root for your new tooth.
Healing and Osseointegration
After implant placement, a healing phase ensues. During this period, the implant fuses with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. This ensures a sturdy foundation for the new tooth. Temporary crowns or dentures may be provided during this time.
Crown or Prosthetic Placement
Once healing is complete, you'll return to our practice for the final step: the placement of the crown, bridge, or denture onto the implant. This prosthetic tooth or teeth will be custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, ensuring a seamless blend.
Smile with Confidence
With your dental implants firmly in place, you can now enjoy the benefits of a fully functional, natural-looking smile. Whether you're biting into a crisp apple or laughing out loud with friends, your dental implants are there to make every moment shine.
Throughout every step of this procedure, our dedicated team at Marietta Roswell Dental Care will be there to address any concerns, answer questions, and ensure you're at ease. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities, and we're excited to help you rediscover the joys of a complete and confident smile!
Frequently
Asked Questions
How long does the dental implant procedure take?
The duration varies based on the type of implant and individual circumstances. Single tooth implants may take an hour, while Teeth In A Day obviously takes a day. Generally, there’s a healing period between the implant placement and the attachment of the tooth crown.
How much do dental implants cost at Marietta Roswell Dental Care?
The cost varies depending on the type of implant and any additional procedures required, like bone grafts. We recommend a consultation with Dr. K to get a precise quote.
Does dental insurance cover implants?
Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of dental implants. We advise checking with your provider. Our team can also assist you in leveraging your insurance benefits.
Are dental implants painful?
At Marietta Roswell Dental Care, patient comfort is paramount. While you might experience some discomfort after the procedure, the implant placement itself is done under anesthesia, ensuring a virtually painless experience.
Are there financing options for dental implants?
Yes! We offer flexible financing through CareCredit and have an in-house membership plan for added affordability. Our goal is to ensure quality dental care is accessible for all.
How long do dental implants typically last?
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top might require replacement after 10-15 years, but the titanium post can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene.
Can anyone get dental implants, or are there prerequisites?
Most people are candidates for dental implants. However, there are certain prerequisites like adequate jawbone density and good overall health. Smokers or individuals with certain chronic diseases might face higher risks. A consultation with Dr. K will help determine your suitability.
How do I care for my dental implants after the procedure?
Dental implant care mirrors natural tooth care. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential. While implants aren’t susceptible to cavities, the surrounding gum and bone can be affected by poor oral hygiene.
What’s the success rate for dental implants at Marietta Roswell Dental Care?
Dental implants have a high success rate, often exceeding 95%. At Marietta Roswell Dental Care, thanks to our expert team and advanced technology, our success rates align with the industry's best.
Will my dental implants look and feel different from my natural teeth?
One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is their natural look and feel. Once fully healed, it’s hard to distinguish the implant from your natural teeth, both in appearance and function.
