We have discovered that when patients are venturing toward tooth replacement, they are often most anxious about how the finished product is going to look. Granted, regaining the ability to enjoy a full diet of food choices and the ability to articulate one’s words clearly is absolutely wonderful. However, nobody wants these benefits at the cost of sacrificing the beauty of one’s smile. No worries to be had here! We would love to answer a few questions that will help realize one important detail: Whether you choose dental implants or a dental bridge, your smile will look genuine.
Oral Surgery: Questions We Expect
You might think that we expect you to listen to us talk with you about oral surgery and that you should then go home feeling fully satisfied with our explanations (and ready for your surgery). This couldn’t be any further from the truth! What we expect is for you to ask us questions regarding information you don’t understand, details you feel we have left out, or something you simply want clarification on. To help reassure you that we are truly happy to converse with you about your upcoming surgery and to answer every little question you might have, we offer some inquiries we generally expect every single time!
Oral Examination: A Quiz
Do you find yourself feeling uncertain about why you need an oral examination, when to schedule a visit for one, and what might come of this dental care service? We understand that a trip to the dentist might not be your outing of choice. However, checkups are a necessary part of protecting your smile! Learn more about the ins and outs of exams with our friendly quiz.
Quiz: Flossing, Brushing, And Dental Implants
When patients receive dental implants, they often become hyper-concerned about the daily care they will be providing themselves going forward. Of course, we appreciate the level of dedication patients have for their oral health. However, feeling overwhelmed or worried about your smile after receiving implants is not necessary. The care you provide for your smile free of prosthetic devices is nearly identical to the suggestions we set forth for your post-implant life. Allow us to cover some common concerns with a helpful quiz.
