Exceptional Dental Care in Smyrna
Lost Teeth to Gum Disease? A Permanent Smile is Still Possible.
Gum disease (periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. If you are one of the millions who have lost teeth due to this chronic infection, you may have been left feeling hopeless or wondering if you're a candidate for the best solution: dental implants. At Smyrna Dental Studio, we want you to know that the answer is very often, yes. Our practice specializes in helping patients with a history of gum disease successfully rebuild their smiles. We provide comprehensive care that first restores your oral health and then provides a permanent, beautiful foundation with dental implants.
The Critical Link Between Gum Health and Implant Success
Gum disease is an infection that destroys the bone and tissues supporting your teeth. Because dental implants also rely on this same bone for support, placing an implant into an unhealthy environment is destined for failure. This is why successfully treating gum disease is the essential first step on your journey to a new smile.
The Non-Negotiable Requirements for Implants After Gum Disease
For a dental implant to be successful and last a lifetime, we must first ensure two conditions are met:
The Gum Disease Must Be Under Control: We cannot place an implant in a mouth with active periodontal disease. Our first priority is always to eliminate the infection and stabilize your gums through targeted periodontal therapy, such as deep cleanings or laser treatment.
There Must Be Sufficient Bone Support: Periodontitis often causes significant bone loss. A dental implant needs a strong, dense base of bone to integrate with. If you have experienced bone loss, we can rebuild this foundation using advanced bone grafting techniques.
Only when your mouth is healthy and stable can we proceed with a successful and predictable implant treatment.
Your Journey From Gum Disease to a New Smile: Our Process
We are uniquely equipped to handle every stage of your transformation right here in our Smyrna studio. Our comprehensive, step-by-step process is designed for safety, comfort, and outstanding long-term results.
A Coordinated Plan for Your Success
Comprehensive Evaluation & 3D Scan: Your journey begins with a detailed exam and a state-of-the-art 3D CBCT scan. This allows us to precisely assess the extent of your gum disease and bone loss.
Targeted Periodontal Therapy: We will perform the necessary treatments to eliminate the active infection and restore your gums to health.
Rebuilding Your Foundation (If Needed): If you have experienced bone loss, we will perform a bone graft or sinus lift to regenerate the bone, creating a solid base for your future implant.
Precision Implant Placement: Once your foundation is healthy and strong, we will use computer-guided technology to place your dental implant with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Your Final, Beautiful Restoration: After a healing period, we will attach your custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture to the implant, completing your beautiful, functional, and permanent new smile.
