If you are considering or have been recommended for a dental implant, you may be wondering when is the best time to schedule it, and how long will the whole process take. While there are many factors that go into dental implant decisions, the experienced dental implant team at Santa Rosa, CA provides videos with dental implant information online, as well as providing unhurried consultations to answer dental implant questions. While we customize the timeline for each patient, we can provide general information on the implant placement timeline.
It Is Best to Replace a Lost or Extracted Tooth Quickly
Whether you have suffered an accident that caused immediate tooth loss, or if you have a damaged tooth that will need to be extracted, the loss of one or more teeth will impact your smile. Not only can neighboring teeth move out of position, but the jawbone can suffer from nutrient loss when tooth roots cease to stimulate it. In the case of a planned extraction, we can factor in implant replacement from your initial consultation. Planning to place an implant after traumatic tooth loss should be addressed as soon as possible, but may need to wait for healing of other surrounding tissue.
A Dental Office with an In-House Lab and Surgery Areas Makes Planning Easier
There are several steps to implant placement, from an initial consultation, to highly technical measurements, to the placement of the implant, healing time, and placement of a final restoration. Most patients appreciate the convenience and trust they find when a trusted surgical team can handle all facets of implant placement, rather than having to visit different offices to have the procedure completed.
Sometimes Your New Smile Can Occur in One Day
Some patients needing implants dentures are candidates for Trefoil Full Arch restoration. This innovative design allows a full denture to be securely supported on three implant posts. This minimally invasive option also allows the restoration to be put in place on the same day as the implants are placed. This means an almost immediate ability to enjoy a restored smile.
