Overview of Implant Placement in Johns Creek, GA
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow Dr. Egolum or your restoring dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge onto them. Because implants fuse directly to your jawbone through osseointegration, they provide stable support that artificial teeth can count on.
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants won't slip, make noise, or cause bone damage. They don't decay and don't require reducing neighboring teeth, keeping your natural smile intact.

Your teeth affect your whole body. When they’re healthy, you’re healthier too. A missing tooth can affect your bite, speech and eating choices. As you rely more on your remaining teeth, you increase the chance they will wear out prematurely, or be damaged or lost. Generally, people lose 25% of their supporting jawbone structure within the first year after tooth loss.
Preserving Facial Bone Structure
Implants act just like natural teeth, stimulating the jawbone to safeguard facial contours and prevent the bone absorption that happens with missing teeth.
Implants vs. Traditional Bridges
Bridges require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth. Implants preserve natural neighbors and provide a permanent solution that can last a lifetime.
Cost of Dental Implants in Johns Creek
When comparing the cost of dental implants to traditional options like bridges or dentures, factor in longevity. Dentures and bridges often require repair or replacement every 5-10 years, making them more expensive over time. Properly placed dental implants can last a lifetime.
Dental Implant FAQs
What can I use for teeth while the implants heal?
Many options exist! Temporary removable teeth, a temporary bridge, or modified dentures can be worn. In Teeth in 24 Hours procedures, temporary restorations are inserted the same day.
Does dental implant surgery hurt?
Most patients do not experience severe pain. Local anesthesia and IV sedation make the surgical phase painless, and post-op discomfort is managed with mild prescription/OTC medication.
How long will the implants last?
Studies show success rates exceeding 95% to 98%. With routine brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, implants can last a lifetime.
