You may wonder why you can’t just come in, let us know that you have made the final decision that dental implants are for you, and then receive them. We understand! When you know what you want and you feel exceptionally excited and motivated to reach your tooth replacement goals, you want to get started (and to finish it all up) just as quickly as you can. However, as with any prosthetic care that you may choose for yourself, the process takes just a bit more time than that! Why, you ask? Well, get to know the details a bit more thoroughly as our Rohnert Park, CA team explains.
We Need To Be Certain You’re A Candidate
The first and very important reason you cannot head into any dental or oral surgery practice to have dental implants placed without having experienced a consultation first? You may not be a candidate! Remember, this begin with a surgical procedure, which means first, we need to have a conversation with you about surgery, we need to learn about your oral health history, we need to take digital X-rays of your smile for a complete understanding of your jaw health, and more! Then, we can determine whether you’re a good fit for implants right now, in the future, or if some other approach may better suit your needs.
Your Mouth May Need Some Other Work First!
As mentioned, it’s possible that you’re not a candidate just yet. The good news is that doesn’t mean you cannot improve your ability to qualify for dental implants. Many times, patients do not have the jaw tissue structure or health sufficient to support implants or they have other oral health issues that require attention first. Fortunately, dental care can usually address these concerns, so implants remain a possibility.
We Need To Work With You To Make Choices
There’s more to receiving dental implants than just walking into an oral surgery practice and announcing that you want them. Why is that, you ask? Well, because there are many ways to go about relying on them! You may want implants that support one crown per open space in your smile. Or, you may want implant-supported dentures. This requires a conversation and a strategic care plan. Ready to get started? Come on in!
