The cutting-edge technology has lent itself to an impressive 95% treatment success rate, and the approach of restoring the entirety of the missing tooth\u2019s structure from the roots upward allow this procedure to offer lifelike and comfortable results. The first step towards finding out whether dental implants are the right choice for you is scheduling a consultation, but what can you expect during this process, and is there anything you should do to prepare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">X-Rays and a Visual Examination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before a dentist can determine whether you\u2019re a good candidate for this procedure, they\u2019ll need to conduct an examination of your mouth and facial structure by capturing X-Rays and other advanced images. This will allow the dentist to view your jawbone and determine whether any additional procedures may be required for the success of your implants, like a bone graft. This will also allow the dentist to better answer any questions you may have and help develop your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Answering Your Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To better understand the ins-and-outs of this process and be able to compare it to other tooth replacement options, it\u2019s a good idea to come to your consultation prepared with any questions you may have. While your dentist will take the time to explain the treatment to you, they may not go into as much detail as you\u2019d like, or touch on specific things that you\u2019d like them to if you don\u2019t ask. So, be sure to keep a questions list in your phone for your appointment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Developing Your Customized Treatment Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your dentist has had a chance to examine your mouth, they\u2019ll walk you through a treatment plan that they\u2019ve developed to address your unique tooth loss situation. This should include going over a timeline of the procedure and helping you book necessary appointments, going over your anesthesia and sedation options, talking about the recovery period and what you can expect, and providing you with aftercare instructions to help your implants last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talking About Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, once your treatment plan is complete, your dental team will be able to discuss cost details with you. Many dental insurance plans don\u2019t cover the cost of dental implants because they view them as a \u201ccosmetic\u201d procedure, but with assistance from your provider\u2019s financial team, they\u2019ll be able to help you determine your financing options and walk you through when payments will need to be made for different portions of the treatment so you can fit it into your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your first step towards enjoying a complete and functional smile again is to schedule a dental implant consultation. Most people agree that they\u2019re glad they did once they\u2019re able to have their concerns addressed by their dentist and learn more about the procedure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Manuel Pazmino, Jr. is a first-generation Cuban American and earned his DDS degree from New York University College of Dentistry.
