Dental Implants Cincinnati, OH

Dental implants are a long-lasting treatment method for replacing teeth that are missing or damaged beyond repair and are an effective way to create a gorgeous smile. MINT dentistry is excited to offer dental implants with custom restorations to our patients in Cincinnati, OH to help them find a tooth replacement option that looks and feels like natural teeth. A dental implant is a post that's surgically placed in your gums and jawbone (performed by a board-certified oral surgeon) to mimic the natural tooth root. The implanted post or posts will be attached to a crown, bridge, or denture restoration for a result that looks natural and lasts a long time. If you want to restore your smile by replacing one or more teeth, contact MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH. During this appointment at our patient-centered dental facility, you will learn about our commitment to help you reach your cosmetic goals while maintaining ideal dental function.

All-on-4® dental implants by Noble Biocare™ are among the most recommended dental implants today. These implants are a comprehensive way to provide secure dentures for a full-arch restoration. This process works by inserting the screws (dental implants) at strategic points on each arch. Compared to other brands of implanted dentures, All-on-4 uses fewer posts for a secure fit. Our team of dentists recommends All-on-4 implanted dentures for patients who are looking for a fully restored smile minus the hassle or the dietary restrictions that come with removable dentures. Many MINT patients have reaped the benefits of the advanced All-on-4 procedure with amazing, high-quality results. If you'd like to learn about the advantages of All-on-4 implants and custom dentures, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at our dental center in Cincinnati, OH.

If you have one or more missing teeth, our dentists may recommend a bridge, crown, or dentures supported by implants. You may be a candidate for an implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture if you currently have a traditional dental restoration but are unsatisfied with dietary restrictions, maintenance, or its general appearance. During your consultation at our office, we will assess your mouth, particularly your gums and jawbone, to decide if you are a good candidate for implant dentistry. You may not be a good candidate for implants if you have a periodontal condition, use tobacco products, or may become pregnant during the implant process.

Before performing your dental implant treatment, we will assess your mouth to ensure you don't need gum or bone augmentation first. If you do, those treatments will be performed and then we can schedule your dental implant. To begin your appointment, our staff will help you to fully relax in one of our massaging treatment chairs, where you will be given a pair of MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones. Next, your anesthesia or sedation will be administered. Then, the oral surgeon will make an incision in your gums and fit the metal post(s) in your jawbone. We will repeat this process if more than one implant is needed. Finally, your doctor will close your gums, leaving the top of the implant visible over the top of your gumline. During the next few months, the implant(s) will start to integrate with the bone and gum. While this occurs, a temporary crown, bridge, or denture will be placed to hide and protect the implant(s). As soon as you're healed, our Cincinnati, OH team will connect your custom restoration to the post(s), revealing a gorgeous new smile.

Following your dental implant surgery, your mouth and lower face will likely experience some inflammation, bleeding, bruising, and discomfort. A certain degree of these symptoms is completely normal, but please contact us if your symptoms last too long or seem abnormal. Our team may prescribe pain medications and antibiotics along with detailed instructions, like dietary recommendations, so your recovery is smooth. When your implant has integrated and your crown, bridge, or denture has been attached, you need to follow a good home oral care routine, including flossing and brushing every day. You may be asked to schedule follow-up appointments that will allow us a chance to check and adjust your restoration. MINT dentistry encourages you to continue scheduling dental examinations and cleanings to maintain the health and appearance of your restorations and natural teeth for a lifetime.

It's likely that part of your dental implant and custom restoration will be paid for by your dental insurance company. Our office will speak to your insurance provider to determine your specific benefits and your out-of-pocket expenses. In your consultation with the doctor, we can discuss the payment methods accepted by our office, including medical financing. At MINT dentistry, we are dedicated to making sure all Cincinnati, OH patients have a luminous smile. If you do not have insurance, ask us if you are eligible for the MINT Discount Plan, which helps you fit restorative treatments like dental implants into your budget.

If you're looking for a restoration that not only looks beautiful but is long-lasting, crowns, bridges, and dentures supported by dental implants are a great option.
