There may be lots of reasons you have already counted yourself out when it comes to dental implants as your choice for missing teeth replacements. However, before you cement this decision, our Santa Rosa, CA team thinks you might want to reflect on some reasons you should actually still keep yourself in the running for implant-supported restorations. You might figure that for some reason, implants just “aren’t for you.” However, with just a little bit of new knowledge, you might discover that they’re actually just what you need!
Your Jaw Isn’t Ready Right This Minute
You may have already received the news that your jaw is damaged in some way. You may have dealt with some amount of volume and density loss as a result of losing some of your teeth. Remember that though you may read frequently that you need excellent jaw health to qualify for dental implants, if you don’t have it right now, that’s okay. We can help you get there! It may just take a bit of time and patience.
Everyone Else You Know Wears Traditional Prosthetics
Our team understands that the idea of dental implants to replace your teeth may seem foreign. This is often much truer for patients who are surrounded by friends and family members who wear traditional dentures, bridges, etc. Maybe you don’t know much about implants and you figure that if the people you love don’t wear them, maybe you shouldn’t either. Do yourself a favor and learn more. You’ll find that you can still choose a partial, bridge, or denture but that you may prefer the support of implants!
You Wouldn’t Know Where To Begin
Maybe the thought of considering dental implants is so far out of the realm of something you’re familiar with that you don’t really feel like you know where to begin. In short: You begin by calling us. You don’t need to know a single thing about implants. You just need to have an open mind, be ready to talk with us about your smile, and of course, you need to require replacements for missing teeth. We will take care of the details regarding your education and your care plan!
