Should I Get Dental Implants?

December 23, 2021

If you’re considering getting dental implants in Marietta, GA, it’s important to remember that they aren’t right for everyone. To decide whether or not implant treatment is a good option for your smile, here are some things to consider…

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, thanks to their independent design and fixed custom restorations (like crowns or bridges). Once integrated, an implant becomes a permanent part of your smile. When cared for properly, you can expect your dental implants to last for life.

Why Choose Dental Implants Over Bridges Or Dentures?

Traditional bridges and dentures don’t always provide a realistic substitute for natural teeth. They can alter existing teeth and be difficult to care for each day. But more than that, bridges and dentures may require that you replace them as often as every five years.

Dental implants stand independently of other teeth in your mouth and can last for decades. Regardless of how many teeth are missing, our Marietta dentist can affix a permanent restoration to restore your smile.

Are Dental Implants Right For Me?

Not everyone qualifies for dental implants. You’ll need to have enough healthy bone to support them, first. Our dentist will assess your tissues during your initial consultation. Together, we’ll plan realistic expectations surrounding which implant-supported restoration is right for your smile, whether it’s a crown, bridge, or implant-supported hybrid denture. Implants are strong enough to support the weight of multiple teeth, so you won’t necessarily need one for every tooth that’s missing. As few as four implants can restore a full arch of teeth.

I absolutely love this dental experience. I used to dread having to make dental trips but since finding this office 4 years ago that took the dread away. From making the appointment, to visiting with the office staff. It's great. The Hygienist is very friendly. But that Dr. O,
she is a ray of sunshine. Perfect bedside manner, concerning, caring, helpful, and so very positive. I do not have dental insurance and could go somewhere else that may be a tad cheaper but I wouldn't trade this dental office for the world. They feel more like family. Give them a try you won't regret it!

I am very happy I came to this dental office! I tend to avoid going to the dentist because of past experiences, but my visit today was 10/10!! The dental hygienist, Kelly, and Dr. Buffington were so nice and thorough. I highly recommend! So happy I found a good and nice dental office finally!! :)

Always a great experience when I come in for cleanings or any work that has to be done. Special thanks to my hygienist Kelli for a good cleaning today and making me feel comfortable. Dr. Buffington is also terrific and very attentive. The entire staff will make you feel welcome and comfortable.

I have been a patient here for many years. I’ve always had positive experiences. I especially like the Dental Hygenist “Callie”. She is just the best, always smiling and cheerful, just what you need at the Dentist. She is very experienced and I’ve learned a lot from her. All the Staff is very nice and polite and Dr Buffington is great also. I’ve had a lot of dental work done by her and never had a problem. She is very gentle and painless too!

Nancy M.
The dentist, Dr. Buffington, hygienist, and staff were professional and efficient. Dr. Buffington provided an excellent explanation to my question so that I understood the situation. High recommend this dental practice.

Don S.
Dr. Buffington has to be the kindest, most patient dentist in the world. The staff is amazingly attentive, non-judgemental and offers a very comforting experience. I appreciate how patient they are with me, a 44-year old that still cries and would rather give birth (without medication) than have dental work. I hope you catch my drift😉

Adriennes B.
I really like Dr. Buffington. She gave me a plan that gives me hope about a TMJ issue. Everyone on the staff was professional and seemed genuinely caring. I would highly recommend the office.

It’s a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and they don’t try to sell you on things you don’t need.

Donna D.
I highly recommend this dental practice. They took prompt and amazing care of me to address a TMJ episode. Dr. Buffington and all employees I encountered were professional, friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They set me on the path of recovery and have earned my respect and business going forward. How refreshing to engage with a business that truly understands customer service.
