About Dental Implants in Cincinnati, OH
The MINT dentistry team of professionals regularly performs dental implants as an effective, long-lasting solution to replace a missing tooth or teeth and restore your dazzling smile. MINT dentistry is happy to offer custom-made dental implants and restorations to our patients in Cincinnati, OH to help them find a tooth replacement solution that looks, feels, and works like natural teeth. A dental implant is a titanium post that is placed in your jawbone (performed by one of our board-certified oral surgeons) to mimic the missing tooth root. The implanted post or posts can then be attached to a crown, bridge, or denture restoration for a result that is natural looking and lasts for years. If you want to restore your smile by replacing one or more teeth, contact MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH. During this appointment at our state-of-the-art dental facility, you will get to know more about MINT dentistry’s commitment to helping you reach your goals while maintaining ideal dental health.
All-On-4® Dental Implants
All-on-4® is a comprehensive full-arch restoration created with custom dentures made by the leaders in implant dentistry, Nobel Biocare. This process works by inserting the screws (dental implants) into strategic areas on each arch. When compared to other types of implant-supported dentures, All-on-4 uses fewer posts for a secure fit. Our dentists recommend All-on-4 implants for patients looking for a restored smile without the hassle or dietary restrictions of traditional dentures. Many of our patients love the benefits of the advanced All-on-4 process, enjoying high-quality results that look amazing and last a long time. If you want to get more information on All-on-4 implanted dentures, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our dental facility in Cincinnati, OH.
Reviews
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you are missing one or more teeth, our MINT dentists may recommend a crown, bridge, or dentures supported by implants to help restore the look and health of your smile. You may be a candidate for an implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture if you already have a traditional restoration but are unhappy with dietary restrictions, maintenance, or its general appearance. Our skilled team will assess your gums and jawbone at your consultation to decide if you are a good candidate for implant dentistry. You may not be a candidate for implant dentistry if you suffer from gum disease, are pregnant, or use tobacco products.
How Are Dental Implants Placed?
Your MINT dentistry team will determine the need for jawbone or gum grafts at the time of your consultation. If it is determined that you do, these procedures will be performed beforehand. As soon as your mouth is ready for implants, we will schedule your first appointment to begin the process. At the start of your appointment, your team will show you to the procedure room so you can start to relax in the massaging treatment chair, where we will give you Beats headphones and MINT sunglasses. Once you are settled in, 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 metal post(s) in your jaw. We will repeat this process if more than one implant is needed. The gums will then be closed, leaving the top of the implant visible over the top of your gumline. Over the next several months, your implant(s) will begin integrating with your bone and gum. During this time, a temporary crown, bridge, or denture will be placed to cover the implant(s). Once you're healed, our Cincinnati, OH team will attach your custom crown, bridge, or denture to the implant(s), so you can begin to enjoy your newly restored smile.
Dental Implant Surgery Aftercare
You may experience some bruising, discomfort, and bleeding, as well as swelling in your gums and face after surgery. It's normal for the symptoms to be temporary, but please contact us if your symptoms last too long or seem abnormal. Your doctor may write you a prescription for antibiotics and/or pain medication in addition to detailed instructions, including dietary recommendations, to help you recover smoothly. Once your implant(s) has healed, and your restoration has been attached, you should maintain a good home oral care routine, which includes daily brushing and flossing. Follow-up appointments to check your progress will be scheduled. MINT dentistry suggests you continue attending dental examinations and cleanings so that we can help you keep your restorations gorgeous for a lifetime.
The MINT Commitment
A portion of your dental implant and restoration cost may be covered if you have dental insurance. We will speak to your insurance provider to determine your policy and calculate your expenses.
