Dental Implants in Macon, GA

Facing life with a smile is hard when you're missing some or all of your teeth. Dental implants are an advanced, reliable, tooth replacement solution to help you chew better, feel better, and live healthier - all on your terms.

 Tooth Implants Macon, GA

Overview

Our teeth play a major role in our daily lives. We use them to break pieces of food apart so that we can digest meals properly. They allow us to speak and communicate effectively by helping us form sounds and words. From an appearance standpoint, they help define how we smile, express emotion, and interact with people. But our teeth also affect our health. Poor dental hygiene can lead to a range of diseases and other concerns. In essence, our teeth are paramount to our emotional, physical, and social well-being.

It makes sense, then, that life gets harder when some or all of your teeth are missing. Unfortunately, missing teeth is a common issue in the United States. Almost one-third of Americans are missing teeth. In the next 15 years, half a billion Americans will need new pearly whites.

Whether due to genetics, accidents, or neglect, losing your teeth hurts - both emotionally and physically. And, up until now, it was unbelievably expensive to have them replaced.

Fortunately, with Renew's state-of-the-art dental implants in Macon, GA, you can get a new set of teeth easier, faster, and healthier than ever before. The best part? You don't have to spend sports-car levels of money to get the full set of teeth you need.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a popular option for replacing missing teeth. Unlike some dental clinics that require multiple procedures, Renew's tooth replacement systems require just one surgical appointment. With regular care and professional cleaning from your dentist, your implants can last for the rest of your life.

Dental Implants 101

Dental implants are often the preferred choice for people considering total mouth restoration. Unlike temporary options, dental implants give you a permanent solution for preventing bone loss and renewing your smile. They're created using a small, threaded post that conforms to your jawbone over time. This fusion creates a double-strong anchor that secures your new teeth. Though dentures have a reputation for slipping and sliding in your mouth, dental implants always stay put. If you've been missing out on delicious flavor profiles or the chance to speak confidently, dental implants can be life-changing.

Typical dental implants are made up of three different parts:
Threaded Implant

Threaded Implant

You can think of this titanium screw as a new root for your teeth. It's anchored to your jaw during dental implant surgery.

Abutment

Abutment

An abutment is a small connector prosthetic that connects your dental implants and false teeth. You can think of an abutment as the foundation for your new teeth.

Crown

Crown

The crown of your new tooth is the visible part that you and others see in your mouth. Crowns are made using gorgeous materials and function just like other healthy teeth in your mouth.

Top Signs You Need Dental Implants in Macon, GA

Dental implants can all but eliminate the need for repetitive dental work and dealing with missing teeth. Since they act like natural teeth roots, they stimulate your jaw, which prevents it from deteriorating. Plus, dental implants are placed with extreme care by experts, so you don't have to worry about damaging any healthy teeth. It's pretty clear that dental implants are great - but when do you need to get them? Here are a few common signs that you may be a good candidate.

One of the top reasons why people choose dental implants is that they're missing several or all of their teeth. Missing teeth can cause issues with self-consciousness and make it difficult to eat in general. Because dental implants replicate your natural teeth, they can help restore confidence and make eating easier and more enjoyable.

Missing-Teeth

Some people who have dentures, partials, or bridges still feel insecure about their smiles. And that's a shame because nobody should be embarrassed by their smile. If you feel that way, know this: You deserve to feel proud about your smile. Fortunately, dental implants can help. Dental implants can take your confidence to a whole new level. Those days and nights you spent refusing to smile for pictures... Forget about them. Better days are ahead when you have dental implants.

Insecurity

When you have missing teeth, it can be hard to indulge in your favorite foods. It seems like you're constantly on edge due to the pain and inconvenience. When you have dentures, you have to avoid a whole range of foods, like grilled meats and more. With dental implants from Renew you can have your steak and (literally) eat it, too.

Chew

One of the biggest downfalls of dental solutions like dentures is that they don't stimulate your jawbone. When your jawbone isn't stimulated correctly, you will eventually suffer from bone loss. This bone loss can create a sunken-in facial appearance. Dental implants fuse with your jawbone, providing the much-needed stimulus that prevents this from happening.

jawbone

If you or someone you know has had dentures, you know that using them and keeping them clean can be a hassle. After eating, you've got to take them out to be cleaned. Sometimes, you've got to apply denture adhesives to keep them in place. For most people, denture care is messy and monotonous. If you're sick of dealing with sticky adhesives and loose dentures in your mouth, you may want to consider dental implants.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

One of the biggest reasons why people choose dental implants is that they look, feel, and work like natural teeth. Dental implants provide several other benefits, including:

Restored Function

If you've lost some or all of your teeth, you're missing out on a slew of functions that make life easier. With dental implants, you benefit from the same functionality as natural teeth.

check-icon

You can bite into and chew tougher foods that you love, since your bite force is restored.

check-icon

Dental implants fill in for missing molars, which helps you digest food better.

Dental Implant full mouth restoration options include both fixed removable and non-removable options. In both instances, you can brush just as you would with your natural teeth. With fixed removable solutions, the teeth can come out for extra cleaning and snap right back in. With fixed non-removable options, the teeth stay put and can not be removed, other than by a dental professional for deep cleaning.

 Implant Supported Dentures Macon, GA

Reliability

Dental implants eliminate one of the biggest concerns that denture-wearers have: their teeth slipping out of their mouth accidentally in public. Unlike dentures, implants are placed securely in your jaw. That means you can eat, talk, smile, and laugh without having to be nervous.

 Full Mouth Restoration Macon, GA

Lifetime Use

Some dental solutions for missing teeth only last for a few years. When cared for properly, dental implants can last for the rest of your life. Dental implants in Macon, GA from Renew can cost up to 60% less than other dental implant options and come with a Lifetime Guarantee, making them an outstanding value.

 Multiple Tooth Implants Macon, GA

Jaw Strength

When there are gaps in the jawbone due to missing teeth, the bone in those areas can start to weaken from lack of stimulation. If the empty space isn't addressed quickly, the bone can lose up to 25% of its volume and will continue to deteriorate over time. Dental implants stimulate your jaw again, which strengthens your jawbone and prevents it from deteriorating.

 Permanent Tooth Implants Macon, GA

Avoid a Sunken-In Face

When your jawbone starts to deteriorate, the lower third part of your face can begin to sag or look sunken in due to bone loss. Because dental implants integrate with your jawbone and stimulate it daily, you can avoid a sunken facial appearance.

Talk and Eat Comfortably

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are often considered the "gold standard" solution. That's because they feel, function, and look like actual teeth. Because they replicate natural teeth, you can feast on your favorite foods. You can talk to strangers with confidence. Perhaps most importantly, you can flash that beautiful smile again without feeling embarrassed. Unlike Renew's full mouth reconstruction, traditional dentures limit your food choices, have to be replaced, and are generally more difficult to wear.

What is Full-Mouth Restoration?

logo-icon

A full mouth restoration, as the name suggests, involves rebuilding or replacing every tooth in your mouth. This procedure combines elements of dentistry and cosmetic surgery to restore both the function and structure of your teeth.

Your teeth are responsible for more than making your smile unique. They help you eat and communicate, too. When you lose your teeth, life changes. It's just that simple. Factors like poor dental care or mouth injuries can cause partial or complete tooth loss. In such situations, a dentist's goal is to restore your oral health and bring back your smile. At Renew, we do full dental replacements. They're not for everyone, but for those who need them, they're a great solution. But what does full mouth reconstruction entail? Let's dig in and find out.

A full-mouth reconstruction - also called a total or full-mouth restoration begins with extracting any remaining teeth before restoration can begin. If you have many missing teeth or your teeth are severely damaged or worn down, you may want to consider this procedure.

You may also want to think about full mouth restoration if you have specific dental conditions. For instance, amelogenesis, a disorder that causes teeth to develop in unusual shapes, and ectodermal dysplasia, which affects both skin and teeth, may require comprehensive reconstruction as you get older.

Dental Implants Macon, GA

Dental implants can fully restore your mouth without needing to rely on dentures or bridges. As we covered above, dental implants consist of a titanium post that is implanted into your jawbone. As the process of osseointegration progresses, the surrounding wound heals, firmly anchoring the post in place. Teeth are attached to the implants, restoring both the appearance and function.

 Tooth Implants Macon, GA

Did you know that one-tenth of people in the United States are missing all of their teeth? One of the most common reasons for missing teeth is tooth decay, a problem that affects many individuals, not just those who have lost teeth. While some of us may have had more dental fillings than others, we all continually battle against tooth decay.

Bacteria naturally inhabit our mouths, and when they feast on the sugars and starches from our food, they produce an acid that can harm our teeth. This acid gradually erodes the protective layer known as enamel. Once the enamel is compromised, the inner structures of our teeth can begin to decay. Keep an eye out for these signs of tooth decay:

  • Pain or Dull Aches
  • Sensitivity to Cold and Hot Temperatures
  • Sensitivity to Sweet Drinks and Foods
  • Pain
  • Swelling
  • Fever
  • Infection

When left untreated, tooth decay can rot your teeth and cause them to fall out. Along with tooth decay, be aware of these additional risk factors that cause your teeth to fall out.

Gum Disease

Gum disease and tooth loss often go hand-in-hand. Gum disease is a bacterial infection of the gums that can result in serious health problems. If the infection progresses, it can damage the bone that supports your teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss. You might notice swelling or redness in your gums, but often, the condition isn't painful, which means you might have it without even realizing it. If left untreated, gum disease can not only cause your teeth to fall out but also allow the infection to spread to other areas of your body.

A big cause of gum disease is from plaque accumulating on your teeth. Other factors that increase the likelihood of gum disease include:

  • Frequent Alcohol Consumption
  • Using Tobacco Products
  • Clenching or Grinding Your Teeth
  • Genetics
  • Poor Nutrition
  • Diabetes
  • Autoimmune Conditions and Diseases

Tooth Injuries

Losing your teeth due to an injury is a fairly common occurrence, especially for MMA fighters and boxers. But you don't have to be a combat sports athlete to lose your teeth. It can happen due to an injury, car accidents, accidents at work, or just getting hit in the face with a ball really hard, it doesn't take that much force to damage teeth and ruin someone's smile.

Missing teeth impact your oral health, but they also take a toll on your emotional and mental well-being. Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you always turn down social gathering invitations?
  • Do you make it a point not to smile in photos?
  • Do you think you need to cover your mouth when you laugh to avoid embarrassment?

Renew's full mouth restoration can be the solution you've been searching for.

Steps of a Dental Implant Procedure

Have you ever wondered what's involved in a dental implant procedure and how long it takes? In the past, dental implant procedures were often considered long and painful. Today, dental implant surgeries are streamlined and tailored to your unique dental needs. At Renew, you can have new dental implants with a single surgery.

No, we're not pulling your leg. All it takes is one surgical appointment to get dental implants that feel, look, and function like natural teeth. By fixing your teeth on the same day as your surgery, treatment and recovery times are reduced. When your implant procedure is finished and you're fully healed, the sparkling-white teeth of your dreams become a reality. That crispy, juicy apple that's been calling your name? Go ahead and dig in. It's time to savor the flavor of life.

Gov’t Mule and Tedeschi Trucks Band Announce Co-Headline Performance in Macon, Ga. with Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the immortal legacy of the Allman Brothers Band roared from New York’s Madison Square Garden as The Brothers–a supergroup of nine former members, reunited on the legendary stage five years after they first assembled. Now, the band’s twin guitarists and longtime collaborators, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, have announced plans to keep the celebration of Southern rock’s foundational group going with a collaborative Gov’t Mule and Tedeschi Trucks Band show in their old hometown.

Gov’t Mule and TTB will take the stage together for a performance at Macon, Ga.’s Atrium Health Amphitheater on October 11. This special shared bill falls within TTB’s expansive Live In 25 Tour, which also includes five previously announced team-ups for the esteemed bands. The Macon stand will show particular reverence for the Allman Brothers Band, with whom Haynes and Trucks performed for many years, by welcoming fellow Southern rock torchbearers Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel.

The new co-bill show follows a ramp-up in collaborations between Haynes and Trucks that included an intimate duet recording of “These Changes” and another live treatment of the track at the SOULSHINE Madison Square Garden benefit concert. Before that, the artists reunited in the studio for the official recording of the song on Million Voices Whisper. The version on that landmark project, which arrived last November via Fantasy Recordings, was among two other collaborative entries that collectively marked their first sessions together since the Allman Brothers Band’s 2003 album Hittin’ the Note.

Just before The Brothers’ celebrated revival, Haynes and Trucks joined forces in Macon to take part in “A Celebration of Dickey Betts,” a star-studded tribute show at the Macon Auditorium hosted by Duane Betts. Read more about that unforgettable performance here.

Tickets for Gov’t Mule and Tedeschi Trucks Band’s co-headline show in Macon will become available via an artist presale on Monday, April 21 at 10 a.m. ET. General on-sale will follow on Friday, April 25 at 10 a.m. ET. For tickets and more information on Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Live in 25 Tour, visit tedeschitrucksband.com.

Guitarists Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes showcased the otherworldly chemistry developed from their 14 years together in The Allman Brothers Band over the course of The Brothers' two-night stand at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday and Wednesday. Fans won’t have to wait very long to see the pair share the stage again, as Warren's Gov't Mule and Derek's Tedeschi Trucks Band announced a co-headlining show at the Atrium Health Amphitheater in Macon, Georgia on Saturday, October 11 to follow five previously confirmed dates together in September.

The Allman Brothers Band called Macon home during their early years. October’s concert will take place just three-and-a-half miles from the Big House, the home to the ABB’s original members, their families and friends from 1970 to 1973.

An extra dose of Allman Brothers’ tradition will be injected into the show as Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel will open. Duane Betts is the son of late ABB co-founding guitarist Dickey Betts.

The newly added show is part of the Tedeschi Trucks Band's Live In 25 Tour. The powerhouse 12-piece ensemble led by Derek Trucks and wife Susan Tedeschi kick off the +40-date run on May 6 in Irving (Texas). Gov’t Mule joins the TTB starting on September 3 in Toronto and continuing through September 10 in Clarkston (Michigan).

Warren Haynes will devote the spring and early summer to touring with his Warren Haynes Band ensemble. Gov’t Mule are currently set to return in July for festival appearances before hitting the road with Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Artist Presales for the newly announced concert begin on Monday, April 21 at 10 a.m. ET. Tickets then go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 25 at 10 a.m. ET.

Longtime Macon Flea Market to close after over a decade with 40 days notice. Vendors left scrambling

The closure, though abrupt, wasn't entirely unexpected, according to both the vendors and customers.

MACON, Ga. — After more than 15 years of business, the Macon Flea Market on Eisenhower Parkway is closing its doors at the end of May, leaving longtime vendors searching for a new home and notifying loyal customers.

Barber Kinte White says the notice came suddenly: a simple memo handed out the second to last weekend of April, giving tenants only 40 days to vacate.

"They came around, passed out a memo, a piece of paper telling us to get out of here in 40 days," White said. "I'm like, wow, how are we gonna move all this stuff and keep everything flowing without missing a hiccup?"

White, who has worked out of two cubicles in the back of the market for over a decade, has built a loyal client base, including Kathleen resident Michael Jackson.

"I'm former military, and it's always that saying — you stick with what you know," Jackson said.

The closure, though abrupt, wasn't entirely unexpected, according to both the barber and his client.

White and Jackson point to the market’s poor maintenance, including leaks, broken air conditioning, and structural issues, as signs of deeper problems.

"Whenever it rains out there, it rains in here as well," White said, describing the market’s deteriorating conditions.

Despite the setback, White and other barbers are already working on a plan. He says they've narrowed down a few new potential locations and hope to move before Memorial Day.

"Some of the other barbers and I are getting together, trying to pull together and find a spot," White said.

As they prepare to relocate, White hopes his loyal customers will continue to support the team, and he’s not giving up on the flea market’s future either.

"I just hope everybody follows us wherever we go, and I hope the flea market can maybe be revamped one day and open back up," he said.

The vendors have until May 31 to clear out, marking the end of an era for one of Macon's longtime local business hubs.

The attack happened on Tuesday, according to the sheriff's office, but the inmate reported it to authorities on Saturday.

MACON, Ga. — A Macon-Bibb County inmate was injured when other inmates threw hot water onto his face, according to a press release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.

The 21-year-old inmate told authorities on Saturday that he was assaulted by other inmates in the Bibb County jail earlier that week on Tuesday, the press release said.

The victim, later identified as Romario Justin Casey, was released from the hospital on Tuesday, but his medical care is not over. His continued treatment will be handled by the jail's correctional health provider, Correct Health.

Casey was in custody on terroristic threats charges and was booked into the jail earlier this month on Aug. 6.

They say Casey had managed to hide his injuries from deputies during block checks. It was only until he reported the injuries to deputies that he was taken to the medical unit and then to the hospital to receive medical treatment.

During the course of the investigation, the sheriff's office says they learned the Casey's injuries came from another inmate throwing hot water through the cell door and onto his face.

However, the sheriff's office says they are working to identify the inmates involved in the attack.

It is also unclear from the Bibb County press release how the other inmates got access to the hot water used during the attack.

The sheriff's office says more information will be released when it becomes available. This is a developing story. 13WMAZ has requested the incident report in this case.
