Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Tooth loss can impact the appearance of your smile, your confidence, and your oral health. When left untreated, your remaining teeth may become misaligned. Fortunately, you can fully replace one or more missing teeth with dental implants. Using a titanium or zirconia replacement tooth root, dental implants are surgically implanted into the jaw to support a number of restorations including dental crowns, bridges, dentures, or All-On-4® prosthetics.

Types of Dental Implants
The dentists at Verde Pointe Dental Associates in Marietta, GA, offer different types of dental implants and restorations to accommodate your needs. In addition to traditional single tooth implants restored with crowns, we also provide implant bridges, implant dentures, All-on-4, and mini dental implants. These options can often eliminate the need for bone grafting if you have experienced too much jaw atrophy to support traditional implants.
While mini implants are smaller in diameter and require less bone tissue for support, All-on-4 implants are positioned at special angles to maximize contact with the available jawbone. During your consultation, your doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine which type of implant is best for you.
Depending on how many teeth you need restored, your dentist may recommend different types, or numbers of implants. The Verde Pointe Dental Associates team is here answer any questions you may have about dental implants. We can guide you step-by-step through the procedure, discuss costs and financing options, and advise which course of action is right for you.
Traditional vs. Mini Dental Implants
Traditional vs. All-on-4 Dental Implants
While traditional implants require several implants to treat extensive tooth loss, the All-on-4 implant method uses only four angled implants to support the restoration.
Implant-Supported Dentures The All-on-4 method can help support dentures
Dental Implant Advantages
A traditional dental bridge, denture, or crown can only replace the portion of the tooth above the gum line. Traditional dentures can easily slip and shift out of place. Meanwhile, when a tooth is lost, the jawbone begins to atrophy in the absence of the tooth root.
Dental implants allow you to restore the entire tooth, from root to crown. They hold your restorations firmly in place as you chew and speak. They are also the only restorative dentistry solution that halts bone atrophy following tooth loss.
With dental implants from Verde Pointe Dental Associates in Marietta, GA, you can experience a complete and natural-looking smile that allows you to enunciate and feel confident.
Maximizing Your Benefits
The dentists at our practice in Marietta, GA, have implemented several measures to improve your treatment outcome. Our team often use surgical guides to make certain that your implant posts are placed in the best possible positions. This minimizes the risk of complications and can help your implants provide a lifetime of benefits.
We also use the highest quality materials and the latest implant technology. Top-of-the-line implants and restoration materials not only mimic natural teeth, but allow us to provide long-lasting results that help you take pride in your appearance.

Best dental care around. Never a problem. The dentists and hygienists are the absolute best at what they do! Neel M.
What to Expect from the Implant Procedure
Placing traditional implants requires two surgical procedures. During the first, Dr. Fantaski, Dr. McGrath or Dr. Kimmerling, will place the dental implants into the jawbone. It will take about four to six months for the posts to become fused with the bone tissue.
After the initial healing period, you will then undergo a second procedure to attach special abutments to the implants. These abutments will connect to your restorations. It takes about two weeks for the gum tissue to heal in a way that leaves the abutments accessible above the gumline.
After the dental implant surgeries, and once the gums around the implant heal, one of our dentists will take impressions that will guide the fabrication of your restorations. When your restorations are complete, you will return to have them attached to the implants.
All-on-4 and mini implants can be restored immediately following placement thanks to our in-house milling machine. Your dentists will let you know what to expect at each stage during the planning phase.
Gary Won't Consider Going Anywhere Else
Gary first came to Verde Point Dental Associates more than two decades ago. Over the last 20 years with our practice, he's had just about every dental procedure performed, including the placement of a dental implant. Implant dentistry helped restore his dental health as well as his ability to smile with confidence.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
Our dental implants range from $1,500 to $1,900. The price of dental implants will vary based on how many implants are placed, the type of materials and techniques involved, and any preparatory procedures that accompany dental implant surgery.
Quality Care Justifies the Cost
The dentists of Verde Pointe Dental Associates are good standing members of the American Society of Implant & Reconstructive Dentistry, a nationwide association dedicated to optimal dental implant outcomes. The experience and certification of our dentists and the premium materials we use are built into the cost of the implant dentistry procedure. Many discount implant practices use cheaper implant parts and materials to cut corners. We only use the products we feel we can stand behind.
Insurance and Financing Information
Dental implants aren't covered by insurance since they are considered an elective treatment. We off CareCredit® financing to keep the procedure affordable.
