When the people in your life hear that you’re planning on receiving dental implants to get your smile back to its whole, healthy self again, you may get one of any number of reactions from them! What you want, of course, is for each and every last family member and friend to be happy for you and to be supportive. This, however, is not necessarily always what you will get. To help you feel more prepared in terms of sharing your news, our Santa Rosa, CA team runs through some hypotheticals with you and how you can move forward!
As Mentioned: Happy And Supportive
First, there will most likely be some individuals in your corner when you decide on dental implants for your smile. Those close to you might become your most exceptional cheerleaders, cheering you on every step of the way as you make this very personal decision to replace your missing teeth fully with implants and restorations. For this, you will likely feel quite happy. We don’t have to tell you to give these individuals a quick “thanks” for their support!
Skeptical And Uncertain
Remember, while you know a lot about dental implants, your friends and family might not. As a result of their limited knowledge, you may find that many of them are skeptical and uncertain. Keep in mind that generally speaking, it’s because they need more information and because if they’re close to you, they want to protect you! You may want to do your best to answer their questions and to remind them that you have fully researched your choice!
Supportive But … Something Is Off
Then again, you might have one of those friends or family members who is supportive but something seems a bit strange. If you detect a hint of jealousy, then we suggest you share our contact information with this person! We are happy to help all individuals with their tooth replacement experiences, especially when it includes dental implants!
