Dental implants aren’t just smile-enhancing. They’re life-changing. These small titanium posts act like new roots for your replacement teeth, providing them the full support needed to smile, speak, eat, and live.
Taking the first step towards getting dental implants is a major decision. It’s natural to feel a mixture of emotions. However, understanding what’s involved in your initial consultation can help you prepare for it.
In this guide, we’ll talk you through your visit to Platinum Dental Care and what you can expect when you first visit us to get dental implants.
Dental implants replace the root of your teeth. They’re typically made from titanium as it’s lightweight and biocompatible. This durable material won’t degrade, and with the proper care, should last for life.
If we’re replacing a single tooth, we will complete it with a life-like crown, made to blend seamlessly into your smile. Other options such as implanted dentures are available when replacing multiple teeth.
Our friendly reception team will greet you when you arrive for your consultation. You’ll be offered a comfortable seat in our waiting area, and we pride ourselves on ensuring your appointment happens on time.
Your consultation begins with a relaxed conversation with your dental surgeon. This is your opportunity to share your concerns and goals for your smile.
We’ll discuss your dental history, general health, and lifestyle factors that might affect your treatment. There’s no such thing as a silly question, so feel free to ask anything you need to know.
We’ll thoroughly examine your mouth, teeth, and gums. This typically includes:
Bone density is an important factor in determining whether dental implants are an appropriate option for you. When you lose any teeth, the jaw bone below the surface of your gums can start to deteriorate.
If your body has resorbed the bone tissue, there may not be enough density to support the implant. In this instance, you may need a bone graft procedure before you receive an implant.
Based on our findings, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. We’ll explain each step of the implant process, including:
We’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs and discuss payment options available to you. We offer various payment plans to help make your treatment more manageable.
Before you leave, we’ll ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. There’s no pressure to proceed immediately – we encourage you to take time to consider your options. Should you decide to go ahead, we’ll help you schedule your treatment at a convenient time.
Remember, our support doesn’t end with the consultation. Our team is always here to answer any questions that might arise after you leave.
If you’re considering dental implants, booking a consultation is the perfect way to explore your options without any obligation. Our experienced team is here to guide you through every step of your journey towards a confident new smile.
