From First Visit
to Healed Site
Planning starts with pictures and a talk. Panoramic and 3D imaging show roots, nerves, sinus position and bone, and the intraoral camera lets you see what we see. From there the surgical options are limited to what this office actually does: extractions, wisdom tooth removal, implants, bone grafts, sinus lifts, and surgery that prepares the mouth for dentures or bridges.
Recovery differs by procedure. After a tooth extraction the downtime is usually short, while a sinus lift asks for more patience, and a healed implant site is the point where implant restoration can begin. Instructions are given in writing, and you can call the office with questions while you heal.
"It is common for patients to experience varying levels of anxiety before dental implant surgery."
