How to Choose the Right Implant Provider for You

There are dozens of providers that offer dental implant placement in Cape Coral and surrounding areas. This is great for patients who would like to compare prices and services to find the best payment options. But how do you find the right provider for your individual needs? Here is some important information about choosing your provider and what you should do before deciding to use their services.

Preparing For Your Consultation

Preparing for your consultation is almost as important as your consultation itself. Of course, the consultation is ultimately most important because it will allow you to learn all the important details about your dental implant placement procedure, as well as how much your implants will cost. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you get ready for your consultation:

1. Tell your doctor about any supplements or medications that you are currently taking.
2. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant in the next 3 to 6 months
3. Be ready for your provider to take x-rays or CAT scans.
4. Compose a list of questions for your dental implant provider.
5. Be prepared to answer questions about your daily oral hygiene routine, your medical history, and personal habits. These answers are critical to help us determine your treatment plan and create the treatment plan that will give you the best chance for success with your dental implants.

Questions You Should Ask Dental Implant Providers

To determine if your potential dental implant provider is the right one for your needs, we recommend you ask the following types of questions during your consultation:

1) How long have you been placing dental implants?

2) What kind of training do you have in dental implant placement?

3) Are dental implants the right choice for me or should I consider another alternative?

4) What is your dental implant success rate?

5) Do you have pictures of former patients you can show me?

6) Will parts of my procedure need to be outsourced to another doctor? Or will they all be completed in-house?

7) Will supplementary procedures be necessary prior to dental implant placement?

8) Is the consultation complementary?

9) Will I receive a written estimate for my treatment?

10) Is there an obligation to purchase after my consultation?

11) Will my insurance cover dental implants?

12) What are my anesthesia options? Is sedation dentistry an option during my procedure?

Your smile, your wallet, and the function of your teeth will all be impacted by your decision, which is why it is so important to think very carefully about the provider you choose for your dental implants. If a provider refuses to answer these questions or appears to be uncomfortable asking them, it is probably a good idea to look elsewhere.
