The first visit to our office will consist of a FREE consult and a FREE 3D scan of your head and neck ($399 value) The doctor will take time to discuss the treatment plan from start to finish and address all concerns.
Prior to surgery a Records appointment will need to be completed. At this appointment we will answer any additional questions you may have, take impressions and measurements of your teeth and mouth, update any x-rays and sign consent forms. We typically will schedule your surgery 3 weeks from your Records appointment.
Day of Surgery! You will need a ride to and from the office. Depending on your treatment plan, you're appointment could range from 4-8 hours. During this appointment, depending on your treatment plan, extractions, bone grafting, implants, and a temporary bridge will be delivered to you. You will always leave our office with a full set of teeth!
After surgery you will enter into the healing phase. This includes several healing evaluations and adjustments. We will evaluate the status of your implants and temporary bridge.
Approximately four months post-surgery you will be out of the healing phase and into the final restorative phase. We start to fabricate your permanent bridge! Multiple appointments, for impression taking and verification of measurements, will be needed in order to complete your final bridge. You will be asked to provide your preferences on shade, shape, and overall esthetics of your permanent bridge.
Just like natural teeth, there is some maintenance involved. To maintain implant warranty, you will be required to come back and see us four times a year, for the first year, for routine cleanings and exams. Your fourth routine cleaning appointment will consist of removing your bridge and replacing your screws. After your first year, we require to see you every six months to monitor, clean, and evaluate the status of your implants and bridge.
