You may wonder why our Rohnert Park, CA team is always suggesting you take the time to come in for a consultation with us! Can’t you just give us a call over the phone, let us know you’d like dental implants, and then come in for a treatment? While this sounds reasonable, we remind you that any prosthetic you consider receiving is going to require personalization and, since implants require surgery, this makes specific planning very significant. To learn more about the why and how in terms of how customized care benefits you, explore the topic a bit further with us!

Oral Surgery Visits: Things You Will Definitely Gather
When you come in to see us for an oral surgery visit, you may wonder if you’re going to learn everything you need to learn and head home feeling satisfied. Part of you thinks that since this is a more advanced area of care, you may end up feeling overwhelmed or heading home without all of the details you need! Good news. We already recognize that this is a concern and, as we would like you to feel fantastic about your experience with our Santa Rosa, CA oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s Talk About: What Does A Dental Post Do?
You have heard us talk about dental posts before. It’s another way of describing your dental implant. However, when we say post, it’s much easier for patients to remember that we’re talking strictly about that part of the tooth replacement and not the entire thing (the post, abutment, and restoration). With that said, you may find yourself wondering about this strategically placed bit of titanium that lets you go from a missing tooth to a fully replaced tooth (from root to crown). Curious about what it actually does and more? Our Rohnert Park, CA is pleased to break down the details.
