Tired of feeling self-conscious about your smile? Does the embarrassment of missing teeth and/or severe tooth decay prevent you from smiling in pictures or at social functions? If so, it might be time to consider a change. Full smile rehabilitation with dental implants can be recommended for patients with severe tooth decay, missing teeth, or other dental ailments. The procedure can address both the teeth on the top and bottom of the mouth—helping to fully restore dental functionality as well as facial aesthetics.
What Is Involved in Getting a New Smile?
There are many things to think about when considering a new smile. First, it is important to meet your surgeon. They can listen to your goals and discuss options on how to best meet them. Your surgeon may take X-rays, photographs, and digital impressions of your existing teeth and smile during your consultation.
After a personalized plan has been developed, a set of small titanium tooth root replacements, known as dental implants, are placed to provide support and retention of your new teeth. These dental implants are often crucial to meet your goals. Often, when multiple implants are used in creating a new smile, they can be used to provide new teeth the same day.
When considering the procedure, it’s natural to feel apprehensive about the recovery process! The good news is that some people can return to work as early as a few days after the procedure. While patients may experience some swelling and tenderness after the procedure, these symptoms are often controlled by over-the-counter medications and usually clear up within three days. Additionally, there are other non-narcotic options available that your surgeon can discuss with you.
Depending on your specific goals, your surgeon can discuss with you in detail the amount of time to finalize your new smile. At the completion of your treatment, your beautiful new smile can be fully functional, natural-looking, and a comfortable solution to missing or damaged teeth.
