Dental Implants in Sandy Springs, GA
Titanium roots that fuse with the jawbone — the closest replacement to a natural tooth.
Missing teeth can hold you back. You might struggle to eat the foods you like, feel self-conscious about your smile, or find chewing and speech difficult. Dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution.
What implants are
Think of them as strong, artificial tooth roots crafted from biocompatible titanium. They are surgically placed into your jawbone, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, implants fuse with the bone over time, mimicking the function of a natural tooth.
Dr. Choy is trained in both implant placement and restoration, which means one clinician plans the whole result rather than handing off midway.
Benefits
- Regain full chewing ability. Eat what you want without limitations.
- Speak and smile with confidence. Nothing shifts or clicks.
- Preserve natural teeth. Unlike bridgework, no healthy adjacent tooth is ground down.
- Improved oral health. Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent the bone loss and gum recession that follow tooth loss.
- Durable and long-lasting. With good hygiene and regular check-ups, implants last for many years.
The process
- Consultation and planning. We assess your jawbone health, discuss your goals, and build a treatment plan.
- Placement. The implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
- Healing and integration. The implant fuses with the bone over the following months.
- Abutment placement. Depending on the implant type, this connector may be added to attach the restoration.
- Crown or denture placement. Your custom restoration is attached, completing the tooth.
The full process takes several months, mostly spent healing. Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups matter throughout.
