Implants: 3 Things We Can Do To Make Life Easier
Just the idea of considering dental implants alone may cause you to feel you’re about to take on quite a lot! It’s a new challenge, a new topic, and it is going to include lots of new information. What you’re certain you don’t want to deal with is any unnecessary additional work or confusion as you sort through these new and potentially very exciting details, if you are someone dealing with tooth loss. Fortunately, our Santa Rosa, CA team is proud to say that there are many things we do for our patients to help make the whole process so much easier! Learn more and you may feel even more excited to get started.
From Traditional To Fixed Hybrid Dentures: What To Expect?
One day, after you’ve been wearing traditionally supported dentures for some time, you may stumble upon an amazing discovery: It’s the fixed hybrid denture! You may immediately recognize that the name of this prosthetic for tooth replacement sounds like it offers more than your current denture but you aren’t really sure what that includes. Take a stroll through what you can expect if you switch from traditional to implant-support with this treatment, as explained by our Rohnert Park, CA team!

Implants: What Would You Tell Your Best Friend To Do?
When you’ve got the itch to go ahead and follow through with what you want (which is to come in for dental implants), you may find yourself at an impasse. You don’t know which way to go, so you just don’t replace your teeth or do anything about it. Why is this? Well, for many of the patients we see, there is some conflict in terms of whether it’s the right choice. Of course, as it goes for everyone, when the only perspective you have is your own, giving yourself the motivation you need can feel like too much! So, today, our Santa Rosa, CA team suggests you consider what you would tell your best friend in such a situation for helpful insight!
Summer Is Coming! Write Your Smile To-Do List.

Of course, in such instances, we strongly encourage you to get in contact with our Santa Rosa, CA team to ask about it! You will find that the majority of the time, we will respond with a big “yes!” Consider some possible examples!
