Dental Implants Dentist: Treatment Process
As a patient, I found dental treatments to be anxiety-inducing and complicated because of the lack of information available. As a dentist, I strive to make my treatment process as uncomplicated and transparent as possible.
01
Your suitability for dental treatment is assessed. Basic 2-D Dental X-rays are taken.
A detailed understanding of your medical history, dental history and social history are undertaken.
02
A detailed consultation and examination is done.
Advanced 3D CT scans are taken, with intraoral digital scans or putty impressions taken as well.
Records taken will be analyzed through advanced computer software together with the surgeons input and the dental lab technicians input.
03
A customized treatment plan is then created with your budget and unique circumstances and needs in mind.
This discussion includes an explanation of the intended benefits of treatment, risks and complications that could occur as well as pros and cons of any alternative treatment options.
Financial counseling is also done to prevent misunderstanding with fees.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dental Implants Dentist
Finding a good dental implants dentist requires a bit of research on your part.

If that is not an option, you might want to form your own checklist based on the following:
- Number of years of experience working with dental implants

- Post graduate qualifications of the dental surgeon (specific to dental implantology)
- Success rate of the dental surgeon in placement of dental implants.

- Whether or not this dental surgeon works with a multidisciplinary team of other dental specialists to be able to manage more complex cases and to be able to manage unforeseen complications
- Whether or not this dental surgeon offers IV sedation or full GA sedation to manage cases with high dental fear and anxiety

Dental implants can be safe provided that the surgery is executed carefully by an experienced surgeon, with careful and detailed comprehensive treatment planning.
Dental implants treatment should not be painful.
Most people who undergo dental implants treatment report that there is minimal discomfort.
However, this really benchmarks on the capability and skill of the dental surgeon. Careful and comprehensive treatment planning can help ensure that your dental implant treatment experience is discomfort-free.
Should you wish to minimise discomfort during dental implants surgery, it is possible to ask for stronger sedation.
