If you are looking to improve your smile due to a loss of a tooth or several teeth then a dental implant may be worth looking into. This implant is good for anyone who may have been involved in an accident or injured. You will need to have good oral and general health. Your bone structure will need to be strong enough to support the implant and you must be free of any oral and gum disease.
To receive dental implants in Gurnee you will need to seek consultation with your dentist along with a periodontist who will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for implants. The evaluation will include collecting your dental health history, taking x-rays, and of course a complete and thorough dental evaluation. Once the evaluation is complete you will then have a face to face consultation with your dentist and periodontists who will then decide if you are a good candidate for dental implants. If you are a good candidate a treatment plan will be created tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
You will then schedule an appointment to come back to complete your dental implants in Gurnee. The dental implant procedure will more than likely be performed right in the dentist’s office by your dentist, the periodontist, and the oral surgeon. Just because this procedure will be completed in the dental office it is still a surgical procedure that will require a local anesthetic.
You will be given about four months to heal and then you will be required to come back for a second short phase of the procedure which is will also need a local anesthetic. The last step will be the actual molding and making of the prosthetic teeth. The step will require several more visits before your dental implants are complete and in place.
You will be required to care for and maintain your implants just like you would if you had your natural teeth by brushing and flossing. Visits to your dentist on a regular basis will also be required to maintain your new beautiful smile.
