Tooth Replacement
Dental Implants at Atlanta Dental Center
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once placed in the jaw, it fuses with the bone to create a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture—giving you a replacement that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth, without relying on the teeth around it.
A Replacement That Feels Like Your Own
- Looks and functions like a natural tooth
- Preserves the jawbone and protects healthy teeth
- Securely fixed—no slipping and no adhesives
- Built to last for decades with proper care
The Process
Your Implant Journey, Step by Step
Consultation
We start with an exam and a 3D scan to assess your bone and gums, then map out precise implant placement.
Placement
The titanium implant post is gently placed in the jaw during a comfortable procedure under local anesthesia.
Healing
Over the following months, the implant fuses with the bone to form a strong, permanent foundation.
Restoration
We attach your custom crown, bridge, or denture—completing a seamless, natural-looking smile.

- Long-Lasting Results With proper care, implants can last decades—often a lifetime.

One implant and crown replace a single missing tooth without affecting its neighbors.
Implant Bridge

A few implants support a full, fixed arch of teeth—often placed in a single day.
Is It Right for You?
Are You a Candidate?
Most adults in good general health with adequate jawbone are excellent candidates for dental implants. Even if you have experienced some bone loss, modern techniques such as bone grafting or full-arch solutions can often make treatment possible.
The best way to know for sure is a consultation. We will review your health, examine your mouth, and take 3D images to build a treatment plan designed around your smile, your timeline, and your budget.

Dental Implants FAQ
- Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
- Most adults in good general health with sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. At Atlanta Dental Center, candidacy is evaluated using 3D CBCT imaging to assess bone volume, density, and proximity to anatomical structures such as the sinus cavity and inferior alveolar nerve.
- How long do dental implants last?
- The titanium implant post, which fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, can last a lifetime with proper care. The porcelain or zirconia crown attached to the implant typically lasts 10 to 15 years before it may need replacement due to normal wear.
- Does getting a dental implant hurt?
- Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for patients who prefer it. Most patients report that the procedure is less uncomfortable than a tooth extraction, with post-surgical soreness manageable with ibuprofen or acetaminophen for 3 to 5 days.
- How much do dental implants cost?
- The cost of a single dental implant, including the titanium post, abutment, and porcelain crown, varies based on the complexity of the case and whether preparatory procedures such as bone grafting are needed. Atlanta Dental Center provides a detailed cost breakdown at the consultation and offers CareCredit financing.
- How long does the implant process take?
- From implant placement to final crown delivery, treatment typically spans 3 to 6 months. This timeframe allows the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone before the permanent restoration is attached. Some full-arch cases at Atlanta Dental Center can be restored with a fixed temporary bridge on the same day as surgery.
- What is the difference between implants and dentures?
- Dental implants are titanium posts anchored directly in the jawbone, functioning like natural tooth roots and preserving bone density. Traditional removable dentures rest on the gum surface, can shift during eating and speaking, and do not prevent the jawbone resorption that occurs after tooth loss.
- Will my dental implant look natural?
- The crown placed on the implant is custom-fabricated from porcelain or zirconia, shade-matched to the patient’s adjacent teeth, and contoured to replicate natural tooth anatomy. Once placed, the restoration is indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
- How do I care for dental implants?
- Implants are maintained like natural teeth: brushing twice daily, flossing around the implant crown, and attending regular cleanings and exams at Atlanta Dental Center. No special cleaning products are required, though a water flosser can be a useful addition for cleaning around the implant abutment.
- Can I replace all of my teeth with implants?
- Yes. Full-arch implant solutions such as All-on-4 and All-on-X use 4 to 6 strategically placed implants to support a complete fixed bridge that replaces an entire upper or lower arch. Atlanta Dental Center offers same-day full-arch restorations where the implants and a fixed temporary bridge are placed in a single visit.
