We may recommend an implant-supported crown, bridge, or dentures to replace a missing tooth or teeth. You may be an ideal candidate for a dental implant or All-on-4^® implants if you currently have a traditional dental restoration but are unhappy with the way it looks or feels. During your dental implant consultation at MINT dentistry, our skilled team will examine your gums and jawbone to determine if a dental implant will help you achieve your goal smile. You may not be a candidate for dental implants if you suffer from gum disease, use tobacco, or are currently pregnant.

During your consultation, our team will make sure you do not need gum or bone grafts. If it is determined that you do, those procedures will be performed beforehand. Once your mouth is ready for implants, we will schedule your first appointment to begin the process. Prior to your appointment, a member of our team will help you to fully relax in one of our massaging treatment chairs, where you will be given a pair of MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones. Next, your anesthesia or sedation will be administered. Then, one of our board-certified oral surgeons will make an incision(s) in your gums and place the titanium post(s) into your jawbone. This process will be repeated if more than one implant is needed. The gums will then be closed around the implant, leaving the post visible above the gumline. Over the next few months, the implant(s) will begin to integrate with the bone and gum. During this time, a temporary restoration will be used to protect the post(s). Once your mouth has healed, our team will attach your custom restoration to the post(s), revealing a gorgeous new smile.

Due to the nature of the surgery, you should expect a bit of swelling in your gums and face along with possible discomfort, bleeding, and bruising. A certain degree of these symptoms is completely normal, but severe or prolonged symptoms should be reported to our office. Our team may prescribe pain medications and antibiotics along with detailed aftercare instructions, including what activities to avoid, to help you recover smoothly. Once your implant(s) has healed and your custom restoration has been attached, you should follow a good home oral care routine, including daily brushing and flossing. Follow-up appointments to check your progress will be scheduled. MINT dentistry highly recommends you continue scheduling regular appointments for oral health exams and cleanings so that we can help you keep your restorations gorgeous for a lifetime.

Our office will contact your insurance to determine your specific benefits and calculate your costs.
