You’ve wished and dreamed and planned and worried about doing what it takes to get your smile back. You’re trying not to think about being nervous. We’d like to take this opportunity to let you know you’re in very good hands at Williamsville Family Dentistry and we look forward to doing the important work of restoring your smile. While it’s completely understandable to feel a bit apprehensive – after all, this is a big deal! – here are 3 reasons you shouldn’t be nervous about dental implants.
Dental implants are the next best thing to your original teeth.
Your dental implant will look and feel exactly like your original tooth. Getting dental implants is a wonderful long-term solution unlike a bridge or dentures. You’ll be able to smile, chew, and even laugh again. Dental implants can never get cavities if properly cared for, and caring for your implants is exactly the same as caring for your original teeth – daily oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist.
Getting dental implants is a little like space-age technology meets dental science.
I work hard to stay up-to-date on the latest and best implant techniques so you can be sure you’re getting the very best solution for you. But just as important is making sure you have all your questions answered at every step along the way. If there’s something you’re not sure of or want us to go over again, please always know we’re here for you.
You don’t need to be nervous when you know what to expect.
Your dental implant will be placed right into your jawbone just like the root of your natural teeth, with your new crown placed on top. Immediately after you receive your dental implant, it’s completely normal to have a little swelling and discomfort. You’ll receive detailed instructions especially for the first 30 days; that’s the time your jawbone is healing around the implant, and you want to help that healing process. Very soon you’ll be back to just regular oral care and checkups.
While getting dental implants is a big decision, you don’t need to be nervous when you understand how implants work and know what to expect. Contact us today and let us help you get your smile back!
