Dental implants can turn a smile you feel uncomfortable about into one you proudly share with the world. They can also provide a more convenient, comfortable, and natural-looking alternative to dentures and last a good deal longer that alternatives such as a bridge.
Choosing the right professional to work with can help ensure wonderful results and overall positive experience. Dana Samet, DDS, and her team have the skills and expertise to create the smile you want.
Prepping your gums and positioning a dental implant in the right way requires a high level of experience and skill. Some dental implant dentists only diagnose the need for implants and coordinate with a dental implant surgeon for the rest. You then return to the initial dentist for placement of the crown. Other dental implant dentists take care of the entire process.
Because dental implant placement isn’t a designated specialty in the field, it’s important to learn about a provider’s level of training and experience. Important factors to consider include:
Consider looking elsewhere if you learn that a dental implant dentist lacks experience, isn’t transparent about their credentials, or avoids answering your questions, or you feel generally uncomfortable with the person or team.
The dental implant process can take four to six months or even longer if you need bone-grafting before an implant is placed, so it’s very important that you invest that time and money in care you feel confident about.
When they’re well-placed and properly cared for, dental implants can bring a broad range of perks. Many people appreciate how stable and just like natural teeth they act and feel. They can also preserve your jawbone, allowing you to eat normally.
Research shows that dental implants usually have a very high success rate of 95%, making them safe and effective alternatives to options such as dentures.
