Conflicted About Implants: When You Think You’re Short On Something

There are many reasons that our patients assume they will not qualify for dental implants. Some assume it’s just not for them. Some figure their smiles aren’t healthy enough. Over the years at our Santa Rosa, CA practice, we have also found that many patients think they are “short” on something, meaning that they do not have an adequate supply of something they consider essential for choosing implants. While it’s possible that this is true, we usually discover that as patients learn more about the options they have, they discover they are actually well prepared for this tooth replacement treatment! It’s just a matter of personalizing it. Learn more.

Think You’re Short On Time?

You might worry that you’re extremely short on time. Maybe you feel like you’ve waited too long (though, fortunately, this is rarely the case because we offer treatments like bone grafting if time has led to issues like jaw problems). Perhaps your schedule is so tight that you think to yourself, you’ll just never make it through months and months of planning, placement, and restoration. Good thing we can provide many of our patients with a “teeth in a day” scenario that includes dental implant placement and restoration placement. Talk with us about this soon!

Worried You’re Short Financially Speaking?

One of the reasons we offer so many dental implant options (and rely on a variety of materials and selections)? We want to be sure we can meet every last need of our patients, including concerns about cost. Speak with us before you assume it’s too great an investment. You may quickly discover it’s a possibility.

Concerned You’re Short On Options?

If you’ve only heard about dental implants as an option for replacing one tooth with one implant post and one crown, then you may simply assume this won’t work for you for any number of reasons. However, we encourage you to remember that you are not short on options. As you’ve already begun to realize, the list of options is likely much longer and more diverse than you initially imagined. There are implants and crowns, implant-supported dentures, fixed hybrid dentures, implant bridges, and more. Need some help figuring out whether a particular solution could actually work for you? Come in to talk with our team as soon as it’s convenient for you!
