Why Implants Are the Preferred Solution For Missing Teeth
Preserve Your Jawbone
A dental implant is the only tooth replacement method that also replaces the tooth root and stimulates bone growth in the jaw. If you are missing several teeth, your jawbone can shrink and cause you to lose more teeth. As the jawbone gets smaller, it can also make you look years older than you are. In contrast, dental implants encourage bone growth in the jaw.
Protect Nearby Teeth
When traditional dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth, dental crowns on nearby teeth are used to hold the bridge in place. Unfortunately, this means those healthy teeth need to be altered to accept the crowns. This can weaken the crowned teeth and make them more susceptible to damage in the future. Implant-supported restorations stand on their own.
Produce Natural Looking Results
The dentists at our Valdosta dental office custom craft your restoration using high-quality dental materials that are durable and mimic the natural qualities of tooth enamel. Our tooth restorations are so lifelike that even up close they look like natural teeth.
Dental Implants Change Lives
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small post, usually made out of biocompatible titanium, that is placed in the jawbone where it acts as the root of the lost tooth. The implant fuses with the bone and provides a solid foundation for replacement teeth.
Once the implant is securely in place, the dentists at Advanced Dental Care in Valdosta, GA, can attach a beautiful, natural-looking tooth using a connector piece called an abutment.
Dental implants are modern dentistry's versatile solution to the problem of missing teeth. They can be used alone or with other implants to support an individual tooth, a dental bridge, or even a full denture.

View on GoogleHow Will Implants Restore My Smile?
We can pair a single dental implant with a lifelike tooth-shaped crown to recreate your missing tooth completely, from root to crown.
Are you missing several teeth in a row? We can create a denture bridge that is supported by two implants to fill the gap in your smile.
Four or more implants can be used to hold a denture securely in place, eliminating the worry it will slip out of place.
Do You Lack the Bone Density Needed for an Implant-Supported Denture?
Bone density is required to hold a dental implant and the restoration attached to it. Unfortunately, many people missing teeth for a long time have lost a significant amount of bone and do not qualify for implants.
The dentists at Advanced Dental Care in Valdosta, GA, may have a solution for you. A newer technique, the All-on-4 method, has proven successful for a select group of patients suffering bone loss.
In this procedure, four specially designed implants are strategically placed in areas of higher bone density, which creates the secure foundation needed for a denture. Patients are happy to discover that these implants can be placed and a denture attached all on the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
Q. Does dental implant placement hurt?
A. No. Before your implant procedure begins, your dentist will thoroughly numb the area first. Our Georgia dental offices offer sedation dentistry options, including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, to ensure you are completely comfortable during your procedure.
Q. How long do dental implants last?
A. Dental implants are made of durable titanium and are designed to last a lifetime. However, it is important to remember that your dental crown, bridge, or denture will wear over time and will eventually need to be replaced. With proper care and maintenance, your restoration can last for up to 15 years or more.
Q. Are dental implants covered by dental insurance?
A. Dental implants are typically not covered by dental insurance. Your insurance may cover other aspects of your implant treatment, such as the restoration. We will verify your coverage once your dentist finalizes your treatment plan so you can plan and budget for your treatment. We offer financing options and discounts for procedures paid in full over $1,000.
Q. How much will my dental implant treatment cost?
A. It is impossible to give an accurate quote without an initial consultation. Implant treatment is customized to your unique needs and will vary based on factors such as the number of dental implants you need, the type of restoration required, and if you need preparatory treatment such as tooth extraction or bone grafting. Your dentist will craft a custom treatment plan, and we can then provide you with an accurate quote. If you have dental insurance, we will verify your coverage to determine your out-of-pocket costs.
