When choosing an implant dentist for replacement of lost or missing teeth, it’s important to understand the amount of time since the tooth has been missing. In certain cases, bone and or gum grafting procedures may be needed.

In order to get the smile you deserve, make sure that you take the right steps in researching who to choose as your dental implant provider. Here are some tips for making sure you have the right match for your needs.

1)Online Reviews: The internet is full of information, it’s good to read reviews from past patients that have undergone similar procedures. Word of mouth is certainly also a great way to see if there are other happy patients that have received dental implant procedures. Reaching out to friends and colleagues that may have gone through similar procedures to see who they recommend.

2)Proximity To You: For future follow up of your dental implant procedure, having a dentist that is near you is important. Dental implants are an investment that can last a lifetime. It may be most beneficial at times to travel for the best care possible if the recommendation comes highly.

3)Referrals: Not all dentists perform the dental implant procedure start to finish. You can always ask your local dentist for a specialist referral. At our Bowmanville dental office we perform the procedure for dental implants start to finish.

4)Technology: The dental advances in dental implant treatment have progressed tremendously in the last several years. We can often place dental implants at the same time of teeth being removed. This is called an immediate dental implant. Healing has also improved with the use of PRF technology. We invite patients to learn about the advances behind this field during their consultation appointment.

The dental implant procedure is important in order to keep your jawbone healthy and stop further shrinkage. We encourage patients seeking dental implant options to come in for a complimentary consultation to see how dental implants can be of benefit in your life.
