When you decide that you’re ready to say bye-bye to open spaces and that prioritizing a complete smile is your number one goal, do not be surprised if unexpected obstacles start to show up. For instance, you may tell yourself that coming in to see our Santa Rosa, CA team to discuss dental implants is at the absolute top of your to-do list but suddenly, you find yourself maybe pushing it further and further down the list as other things pop into your mind. Not sure how to combat this major conundrum? We can help!
Obstacle: You Suddenly Feel You Should Wait
You don’t know why you suddenly feel like you should probably just wait a week or two. You just know that all of that certainty and motivation took a back seat out of absolutely nowhere and here you are trying to figure out how to proceed. If this is the unforeseen obstacle standing between you and a complete smile, our team has one suggestion: Follow through with visiting us anyway! This is likely the result of something everyone deals with, which is a minor case of nerves or cold feet. Remember, you aren’t making a commitment just yet. You’re just coming in to learn more.
Obstacle: You Suddenly Assume It Won’t Work Out
One second, you’re ready for dental implants! The next, you get a terrible feeling that we’ll tell you that you cannot have them. Again, this is perfectly normal! It’s a bit of a defense mechanism that you put in place to protect yourself from disappointment. Good news: It’s nearly always possible to guide patients toward candidacy. You might not qualify at the very second. However, we can help you with that (even when the help you need is serious!). Ignore your hesitation and come in!
Obstacle: You Feel Overwhelmed
We get it. When you prioritize your tooth replacement, you have to follow through. When you follow through, it means learning new things, seeing us for visits, making choices, and often even setting other tasks aside as you focus on your grin. Remember: Your oral health truly does depend, in part, on your decision to replace teeth and you do want your healthy smile to be around as long as you are! So, take a deep breath, remind yourself of this fact, remind yourself that our team is here to make your experience wonderful, and call us!
