Time Factors To Consider: When You Want Implants

As you are well aware, when you want to rely on dental implants to replace your teeth, the process isn’t going to be quite as lickety split as the one you might expect from a prosthetic that requires traditional support. For instance, if you decide on a dental bridge or denture, you can expect the entire experience from planning to receiving your replacement to take very little time. Now, let’s talk about implants and restorations: They are 100 percent worth the time. However, they do take a bit of extra time. Not clear on what you can expect? No problem. Call our Conroe, TX team and we will be happy to walk you through everything!

There’s More Than Just One Visit!

As with most types of tooth replacement solutions, you are going to need more than one visit. However, unlike a dental bridge or denture that could take just two visits, you’re going to need many more than that for dental implants. Is this a negative thing? Not at all! However, it does require more planning on your part to ensure that you can make the time. Remember, you will need an initial consultation, the placement, checkups after the surgery, the placement of your restoration, etc.

Placement Includes A Surgical Procedure (And Recovery)

Another time factor to consider in regard to dental implants is the fact that we’re not just bonding a device to your tissue or placing a removable device in your mouth. We’re providing you with implants by beginning with oral surgery. So, just like you would expect from any other type of surgery, you will need to recover. This might require the clearing of your schedule for a day or more, so speak with us about what you can expect for your unique implant needs to gain a clearer picture.

You Need Time For The Post To Bond With Your Jaw

Osseointegration: It’s the bond between your jaw tissue and the dental implant post that we surgically place. It doesn’t happen overnight but instead can takes months of time. The good news? It yields a lifelong solid bond when you care for your oral health.

Then, You’ll See Us For Your Final Restoration!

Did we mention that you also need to see us once your healing and recovery are through, so we can place your final crown, bridge, denture, etc.? Plan for this, too!
