dental implant<\/a> consultation, the most basic determining factor will be oral health. If you have suffered with gum disease or lack adequate jawbone density to support dental implants, you will likely not be a good candidate for dental implants. If you determine that dental implant restoration is the right treatment for you, preparatory services will be necessary. For gum disease sufferers, advanced periodontal therapy and\/or soft tissue grafting will be necessary. Patients who need additional jawbone density will likely need a bone graft prior to implant placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOverall Health Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In addition to reviewing your oral health, we\u2019ll also need to discuss any chronic or systemic illnesses and past surgical procedures. Patients who suffer from chronic illnesses like diabetes that impede immune function, may not be ideal candidates for dental implant restoration. Additionally, if you\u2019ve had an adverse reaction during past surgeries, the placement of dental implants may not be a safe option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time Commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Unlike other tooth replacement solutions that are completed in a few visits over the course of weeks or a month, dental implant restoration takes time. It\u2019s important to remember that most of this time is not spent in the dental office. Following the placement of your implant posts, you\u2019ll need to care for the surgical site at-home and visit for more frequent checkups over the next three to six months. However, the majority of this treatment time is completed at home. You will need to consider your necessary time commitment to caring for your smile before, during, and after dental implant restoration. If you don\u2019t have this time, dental implants may not be the best treatment for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cost of Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The cost of dental implant tooth replacement can be higher than patients assume. However, these tooth replacement restorations last much longer than other, more affordable solutions, so the added cost on the front end actually leads to money saved over time.
