Your Dental Implants: What To Do About Cold Feet

Yes! The time has finally come for the next step in your experience with dental implants. Maybe it’s just your initial consultation with us but you feel as though it’s been a long time coming. Perhaps your placement date is steadily approaching, which means it’s really going to happen! You’re going to wave a smile-filled goodbye to tooth loss and hello to your new life with a smile that’s complete and healthy. That is, until you find that you’re getting cold feet and the urge to run in the opposite direction is palpable. What to do? Well, since our Santa Rosa, CA team encounters patients every day going through a similar experience, we can help you!

When It’s All About Your First Visit

First, if you’re getting cold feet about simply coming in for a first visit, we remind you that this is absolutely not a commitment. It’s just a consultation. It means we will get to know you and your smile better, you will get to know us better, and you’ll receive just about every last detail you could ever need in regard to dental implants for yourself. Even if you’re just curious, it’s worth investigating because you may love what you hear. If not? It’s no loss. Now you have an oral and maxillofacial surgery team on your side should you need anything else in the future (or decide one day that you do want to move ahead with implants).

When It’s Time For Your Planning Visit!

Let’s say you’ve already visited us and you know all about dental implants. You’re slated to come back in to get the details sorted out as far as an actual care plan for your long-term experience with dental implants is concerned. However, you have one brief moment of panic. You ask yourself if you’re making the right choice, if you should reconsider other options, and more. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Sit down and write out all the reasons you want implants.
  • Write out your doubts and determine which are just associated with a bit of nervousness and which require further investigation. If you feel that there are some legitimate questions that need answering, take your time! If not, come on in. We will be happy to offer you any reassurance you need.

When Placement Is Around The Corner
