Are you missing teeth? Or, do you have teeth that will need to be extracted because they are failing? Unfortunately, our natural teeth do not always last us a lifetime. This can be something that impacts your desire to smile or even socialize, but it doesn’t have to. Dental implants are a great option for most patients who are missing teeth or will soon be missing teeth. Why not start planning for your new smile now?
When Can I Get Dental Implants?
The good news is that getting dental implants does not have to be a lengthy process that will leave you dreaming of a beautiful smile for a long time. Yet, implants are unique to each patient. So, what do you need to do to get the process started?
The best thing to do is visit an oral surgeon with experience in dental implants. An experienced surgeon will do a thorough exam, including imaging, and create a treatment plan that is specific to your needs. They can give you a timeline that might include a variety of steps depending on your situation, including but not limited to:
- Extraction of failing or damaged teeth
- Time to allow the gums to heal from the extraction
- Surgery to place the titanium posts in the jaw
- Placement of new teeth on the posts
The good news is that having a smile that you love is not as far away as you might think it is. There are a variety of different implant options and procedures that might allow you to get a whole new smile in one sitting in the dental chair.
