Key Questions to Ask During Your Implant Consultation
- Am I a good candidate for dental implants? — Not everyone is a candidate right away. Bone health, gum condition, and overall health play a role. Your dentist will evaluate these factors to determine if implants are right for you. If you need additional treatment, such as bone grafting, we will discuss it with you.
- What is the process and timeline? — Understanding the full journey—from evaluation and surgery to healing and crown placement—will help you prepare and plan for each stage of treatment.
- What type of implant and materials will be used? — Ask about the brand, material quality, and why the dentist recommends them. High-quality implants often lead to better long-term results.
- What are the risks or potential complications? — No procedure is without risks. A reputable provider will be transparent about possible complications and next steps.
- What will recovery look like? — Learn about downtime, post-operative care, and how long it takes to resume normal activities.
- What’s the total cost, and are payment options available? — Dental implants are an investment. Obtain a detailed breakdown of the costs and inquire about financing options or insurance coverage.
