\"DentalIf you’re ready to replace your lost teeth once and for all, dental implants<\/a> might be right for you. A dental implant is unique because it replicates both the tooth root and the crown. Not only do they look and feel natural, but dental implants have over a 95% success rate. They are proven to last for 30 years or longer, so you’ll never have to budget for replacements. Your first step to treating your tooth loss is a consultation with your implant dentist. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Review Healthy History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people with good health are candidates for dental implants. However, certain medications and medical conditions can increase your risk of complications, like diabetes. Your dentist will learn more about your health history and any medications you are taking to ensure dental implants are safe for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual Examination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist will also perform a visual examination and diagnostic services to ensure your mouth is healthy. Based on their findings, you may need a little prep work before getting dental implants, like gum disease treatment or tooth extractions. You must have good oral health to be a candidate for dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X-rays and CT Scan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist may take an X-ray to see any issues that may be hidden below the surface. They will review a CT scan, which allows them to see every detail of your oral structures to detect certain issues, like bone loss or infections. If the CT scan reveals anything concerning, it must be addressed before getting started. They will also use the images for treatment planning to pinpoint the exact locations for your implant post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist will review their findings with you and create a personalized treatment plan to restore a complete smile. They’ll explain if you require any preparatory procedures and what you can expect on the road ahead. They will also review your estimate and explain the fees. A member of your dental team will discuss your financial options to keep dental implants within your budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are the most cost-effective solution to treat tooth loss because they can last for a lifetime. You can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll gain by investing in the next best thing to your real teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
