Dental Implant Consultation
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jaw to serve as anchors for an artificial tooth or group of teeth. This procedure gives patients the closest thing to having their natural teeth that modern science can offer, and in some ways the implants are superior to the natural teeth.
Step One
Your first step in implant treatment is to have a
CAT scan and a consultation with one of our doctors. This one-hour appointment is used to discuss your expectations and desires, your treatment possibilities, the expected results, and the treatment fees.
Why take a CAT-Scan?
For many years, surgeons only had the benefit of two-dimensional dental x-rays to make a limited diagnosis. Now, we have the benefit of CAT-scan technology to give surgeons three-dimensional, precise information. Your exact bone height and width is determined, as well as where your nerve is positioned in the jaw and many other factors that allow us to give our patients the very best treatment results. Our open CAT-scan machine (see picture) gives us a wealth of information in only 30 seconds!
The doctor will immediately review the CAT-scan with you, and treatment options will be made based upon what is found. One of our implant treatment coordinators will be with you every step of the way. She will make sure that you are given all information in writing, will coordinate your treatment visits, discuss financial arrangements, and take care of anything else necessary to ensure a smooth and uncomplicated process for you.
We are very pleased that you are considering implant treatment in our office, and we look forward to giving you the same life-changing results that we have given thousands of other patients.
