If you’re considering dental implants in Pimpama, you likely have questions, or maybe you’re unsure what to ask during your consultation.
In this blog, we share the top five questions to consider.
Questions to Ask Your Dental Implant Dentist
Q: What Is the Dental Implant Process?
- Consultation: The dental implant process starts with a consultation to determine your candidacy.
- Treatment Planning: The dentist performs any necessary pre-treatments before taking impressions and planning your treatment.
- Implant Surgery: On this day, the dentist surgically places dental implants into the jawbone.
- Restoration Day: After the implants integrate into the jawbone, the dentist caps them with tooth crowns or a prosthetic, such as an implant denture.
Q: If I’m Not a Candidate for Dental Implants, Is There a Close Alternative?
If you’re not a candidate for dental implants, the dentist may talk to you about a dental bridge, which is replacement teeth connected to healthy teeth via tooth crowns.
Q: What Can I Expect at Each Stage of Implant Dentistry?
After artificial tooth root placement, you may notice mild swelling or discomfort for a few days, but this is not lasting and is easily treatable with an over-the-counter pain reliever.
Restoration placement is non-invasive and does not cause pain. After placement, you’re free to eat and smile with confidence.
Q: How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Pimpama?
Dental implant treatment costs vary and are based on the number of implants and the complexity of your case.
Some patients require pre-treatments, such as extractions or gum treatment, which increase costs. Your dentist will provide costs at your consultation following a gum health evaluation.
Q: How Can I Best Care for My Dental Implants?
You can take care of your implants by brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist every six months for preventive checkups.
