If you are contemplating getting dental implants, put yourself in the best position for success by getting healthy and scheduling an appointment for comprehensive evaluation with Cape Dental Care as soon as possible.
Why Your Consultation Is Important
You may not know it, but your initial consultation is very important in the overall plan for your tooth replacement. This appointment allows your provider to make a careful and detailed plan for your oral health that ensures the best chance for your good health, implant success and overall satisfaction with your treatment.
What Happens During The Consultation?
Your initial evaluation includes an examination of your mouth and teeth and a comprehensive review of your medical and dental histories. X-rays and CAT scans may also be taken to allow for a more detailed view of the bone in your jaw, the nerves, and sinuses.
What You Will Discuss With Dr. Kraver
After the measurements of your mouth have been taken, you and Dr. Kraver will talk about the procedure itself, the cost, and any possible complications that could happen. At this time, we will provide you with a written estimate for the cost of your treatment. At the end, we will work with you to develop the treatment plan that is best for your unique needs, budget, and preferences.
