Questions and Answers

Question: I’ve had a missing tooth for a long time. I’ve always wanted to find out about dental implants and other options but I’m worried it’s too late. What should I do?

Answer: You should schedule a consultation to come in, meet with us, talk with us about your smile, and receive an examination. In many instances, issues you assume are obstacles are simply challenges we can find a way to overcome.

Question: I was told in the past that my jawbone health isn’t very good. As a result, I gave up on my plans for dental implants. Is it true that this always disqualifies me from implants? Is it too late?

Answer: Not necessarily. In some cases, improvements like sinus lifts or bone grafting can revive the health and structure of your smile. As a result, one who was initially a poor candidate for implants can become a good one.

Question: I was told in the past that I should have my wisdom teeth removed but I never did anything to address the problem. I’m not sure what the issue is but I’m embarrassed to find out. Should I schedule an appointment or is it too late?

Answer: Do not be embarrassed! Please, come in. We will be happy to take a look, let you know whether removal is essential, and then create a plan for oral surgery if it is required.
