YOUR IMPLANT TIMELINE - CONCORD, NC
A Helpful Guide to Our Dental Implant Process and Timeline
Restore Your Smile Permanently with Dental Implants
If you’re living with missing or damaged teeth, this has likely impacted your self-confidence, ability to eat nutritiously, and perhaps led to a diminished social and professional life. Gaps in your smile can increase the risk of tooth decay in the remaining teeth, gum disease, jawbone deterioration, and additional tooth loss.
Jawbone loss can result in a sunken appearance and cause wrinkles and fine lines around your mouth and chin. Dental implants are the only tooth-replacement option that preserves and improves bone density and closely matches natural teeth in strength and durability. With that said, getting dental implants isn’t a decision to take lightly. It’s essential to choose a dentist with extensive expertise and a proven track record in the art and science of dental implant surgery.
At Rogers & Associates, we combine decades of expertise and the latest digital technology to deliver life-changing dental implants in Concord, NC. When you entrust your smile to Dr. Robert Rogers, your journey begins with a complimentary dental implant consultation that includes an oral exam, diagnostic tests, and open communication about the procedure.
What to Expect with Dental Implants
During this first visit, we take a 3D scan of your mouth, photos, and digital impressions of your arches. The comprehensive exam and diagnostics are essential for determining if you’re a good candidate for dental implants in Concord, NC. We’ll also discuss what treatment entails so you know what to expect from day one. We’ll show you what your new smile will look like on an iPad and bring out an actual full model kit from NDX® Nsequence used on a prior patient.
Once you decide to proceed with the dental implant procedure, we expect payment and can help you arrange financing. The diagnostics taken during your consultation are sent digitally to NDX NSequence. Highly skilled lab technicians combine your 3D scan and impressions with the latest CAD/CAM technology to meticulously plan your entire case, considering aesthetics and your unique oral anatomy. Customized long-term provisional and final teeth are scientifically designed to perfectly fit your mouth and facial features. It typically takes three weeks for the lab to deliver the customized surgical kit to our practice.
Surgery is scheduled within a month of payment being received. We perform surgery on one arch at a time because this is easier on your mouth and pocketbook. In addition to a local anesthetic to numb your gums, most patients getting All-on-X dental implants choose Ativan, an oral sedative that eases dental anxiety and makes the dental procedure more comfortable. Streamlined All-on-X dental implant surgery enables our team to fit you with a long-term provisional prosthesis on the same day as surgery.
After you receive your dental implants, our team needs to monitor your progress. It takes four to six months to complete healing and fusion with your underlying bone. In four months, you’ll return to our practice so we can send additional scans to NDX NSequence to fabricate your final prosthesis.
Most full-mouth dental implant patients receive their final prosthesis about six months after surgery. Your beautiful and highly durable zirconia teeth aren’t prone to decay and only require the same oral hygiene routine as natural teeth. Like countless other patients who received a new smile at Rogers & Associates, you’ll be amazed at how new teeth open an exciting new chapter of your life!
