We are all about helping you keep calm when dental procedures need to be addressed. Perhaps you just found out that an infected tooth cannot be saved. Maybe you sustained an accident that severely injured a tooth. Perhaps your family dentist clued you in about new implant methods that restore a full ridge of teeth in just one day. Whatever the reason you have been referred to an oral surgeon in Santa Rosa, CA, your first step is to take a deep breath, and remain calm. For almost every patient, implants are the start of a satisfying smile.
Oral Surgeons are Implant Experts
If your dentist has recommended a procedure not done in that dental office, then referral to an oral surgeon allows you to get an excellent level care. Oral surgeons undergo extra education, as well as training in a residency, to be able to diagnose and treat complex jaw and tooth problems, administer anesthesia, prescribe medicines, and perform surgery. Regular visits to your family dentist assure you that your teeth are being monitored, and dentists rightly know that some situations call for the additional training, and even artistry, of an oral surgeon.
How Dental Implants Restore a Smile
Dental implant options have undergone remarkable innovations since they were first developed about 60 years ago. Along with a single implant post and crown (excellent for replacing a single tooth) there are now options including All-on-Four dentures (which support a denture securely on four implant posts) and implant options for bridges and partial dentures.
Still Anxious? Oral Surgeons Provide Sedation Options
If you are still feeling unsure, don’t let anxiety keep you from getting needed care. Oral surgeons offer sedation options from very light, to full sedation, which may be the right choice for some patients undergoing lengthy procedures, or experiencing a very high level of nervousness about implants, or any oral surgery procedure.
