Permanent tooth replacement that looks and feels like natural teeth sounds too good to be true. The reality is that there will be a time commitment, but at the end of the process, your beautiful, fully restored smile is worth the wait. <strong>Here\u2019s how the process works<\/strong>:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>The first step is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pineypointdentalimplants.com\/request-a-consultation.html\">dental implant consultation with Dr. Steve L. Koo<\/a>. This consultation is 100% free to you. During this visit we\u2019ll examine your smile to determine whether you\u2019re a good candidate for dental implants, thoroughly explain the procedure, and answer your questions with care.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>If you decide during your consultation that dental implant treatment is something you wish to pursue, we begin planning your treatment. X-rays and CT scans are utilized to develop surgical guides to guarantee accurate implant placement. Any dental preparation can be done at this time as well including removing damaged teeth, preparing remaining teeth, and taking bite impressions to create your custom implant-support dental prosthetic.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Next, you\u2019ll return for the implant surgery. The procedure varies in length depending on the number of implants needed to support the prosthetic and difficulty of placement. Once your surgery is completed, you\u2019ll need 3 to 6 months of healing time during which you\u2019ll wear a temporary prosthetic.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Once the gum tissue has healed and the dental implant fuses with the jawbone, you\u2019ll return to our practice to be fitted with your custom-made tooth replacement.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Finally, you\u2019ll look forward to a lifetime of dazzling, durable, dependable smiles.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIn addition to the significant time commitment, many patients express concern regarding the expense of the implant procedures. We\u2019re happy to work with patients, file insurance claims, and help you in any possible way.
