Dental IMPLANTS
Minimally Invasive
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth and provide support for a crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture. An implant is placed in the jawbone, where it can integrate with the surrounding bone and provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth or teeth.
Because dental implants are supported by the jawbone rather than resting only on the gums, they can provide excellent stability and function. They are designed to look and feel natural and can be used to replace a single missing tooth, several teeth, or support a more secure denture.
Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by your dentist will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.
3D IMAGING & GUIDED DENTAL IMPLANT PLANNING
Advanced Technology for
Dental Implant Treatment
Our 3D imaging technology provides detailed views of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding anatomy to help us plan dental implant treatment.
These three-dimensional images allow Dr. Nimisha Patel to evaluate important anatomical structures and assess the available bone in ways that traditional two-dimensional dental images may not show as clearly.
This information helps us plan implant placement based on your individual anatomy and determine the treatment approach that may be appropriate for you.
Dr. Nimisha Patel is certified by the Advanced Dental Implant Research and Education Center (AIC) and has completed advanced training and continuing education in implant, reconstructive, and cosmetic dentistry. Her training in guided dental implant techniques, combined with 3D imaging and digital treatment planning, helps her develop an implant treatment plan based on each patient’s individual anatomy and needs.
The Implant Procedure Workflow
at Our Buford, GA Dental Office
- A CBCT scanner captures a 3D image of the area being evaluated.
- An impression is captured and scanned using a CBCT machine.
- The scanned data is utilized to design a virtual crown with CAD/CAM software.
- The patient’s CBCT image, digital impression data, and crown are combined to create a complete virtual setup for the implant plan. An ideal implant is selected from an extensive library, and optimal placement is determined
- With the help of accurate digital planning, an implant guide is designed to aid in precise surgery and eliminate guesswork.
- The implant guide is printed on a 3-D printer using medically approved material.
The dental implant is placed according to the treatment plan. Local anesthesia is used to help keep you comfortable during the procedure, and sedation options may be available for appropriate patients when needed.
After the implant has healed, Dr. Nimisha Patel will complete the restoration with a custom-designed replacement tooth or teeth. Depending on your treatment plan, the implant may support a dental crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture designed to restore function and provide a natural-looking result.
Advantages of dental implants over dentures or bridges
Because dental implants are supported by the jawbone, they can provide a stable, secure replacement for missing teeth. Many patients find that implant-supported teeth feel more comfortable and natural than removable dentures.
Because Dental implants are permanent, they look and feel like your own teeth.
Unlike sliding dentures that can make eating difficult, dental implants feel & function like your own teeth; therefore, they allow you to eat your favorite foods confidently and without pain.
Poor fitting dentures or bridges can sometimes slide or slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants are permanently positioned like your natural teeth, you will not have to worry about speech problems.
A tooth-supported bridge usually requires the reduction of other teeth. Since an implant does not require support from nearby teeth, more of your teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Implants also enhance oral hygiene because individual implants allow easier access between teeth.
Implants are very durable and with proper care, many implants last a lifetime.
Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.

Dental implants are a well-established option for replacing missing teeth, but as with any surgical treatment, whether they are appropriate for you depends on your individual oral and overall health. Dr. Nimisha Patel will evaluate your teeth, gums, jawbone, medical history, and other factors before recommending implant treatment.
Replacing missing teeth can also help restore chewing and speaking function and prevent nearby teeth from shifting. In some cases, bone loss can occur around a missing tooth over time.
