You've been thinking about dental implants for months, but that first consultation feels like a big step. What will the dentist do? What questions should you ask?
At Baller Dental & Ortho, dental implant consultations aren’t about pressure or making an immediate decision. Our goal is to explain the process, answer your questions, and make sure you leave us feeling confident about your options.
What to Expect During a Dental Implant Consultation
Dental implant dentist consultations in Aurora, CO, consist of three parts:
- Thorough oral health evaluation
- Imaging using digital x-rays and 3-D scans
- Honest conversation about your goals and concerns
During the exam and imaging, your dentist gets a complete picture of what’s happening with your oral health beneath the surface. Gum health and sufficient bone to support the implant are the two main factors they will need to determine.
Don’t be concerned; it’s a simple process that’s not much different from having a routine checkup!
Essential Questions to Ask During Your Consultation
Don't worry about asking "too many" questions. The goal is for you to have all the answers you need to make a confident, informed decision. Ask about:
- Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
- Do I have enough bone density, and if not, what are my options?
- What does the dental implant timeline look like from start to finish?
- What can I expect during implant healing?
- What's the success rate for cases like mine?
Dental Implant Cost and Financing
The cost of dental implants is probably one of your biggest concerns. Your dentist should provide a comprehensive treatment breakdown so you understand what goes into the total cost. Be sure to ask about payment options and financing plans, and what portion, if any, your insurance might cover.
