When you’ve planned oral surgery right before the holiday and you are perfectly okay with that … but you realize this is definitely going to impact the Christmas foods you get to enjoy … you may ask yourself: What’s going to be on the list? What are some ways that I can still have a lovely time celebrating without putting my recovery in jeopardy? Fortunately, most holiday spreads happen to include more than ham or turkey that’s too tough for you right now, hard cookies, etc. If you’ve just begun thinking this through, let our Santa Rosa, CA team give you some early suggestions, so you continue feeling optimistic about your very good choice to have followed through with your smile care.
All I Want For Christmas Is My…Missing Teeth!
The line of the holiday song usually goes, “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!” However, we are gently altering the lyrics to fit your potential tooth loss needs to read, “All I want for Christmas is my missing teeth!” Whether they just happen to be your two front teeth or any others, we remind you that this time of year can really bring your true hopes and dreams to the forefront of your thoughts! In addition, whether you’ve just experienced tooth loss and have begun considering options for replacement or if you have been allowing yourself to think about dental implants for a while, one thing is certain: You will not be able to complete your implant experience with us by this Christmas (the entire process takes months to a year)! However, there is no reason to feel disappointed. Instead, our Santa Rosa, CA team suggests you consider those things you can achieve on Christmas as they relate to your smile completion! It will help you feel more excited about planning for the coming year.
Your High School Seniors: Remove Their Wisdom Teeth Soon!
Do you have a senior in high school in your family? Does your son or daughter still have his or her third molars, though you are almost positive wisdom teeth removal is going to be required? If this is the case, then our Santa Rosa, CA team wants you to remember that the sooner you take care of those teeth, the better! What’s the rush, you ask? Well, senior year and beyond is a time filled with lots of stuff to do, a lot of social functions, and more … none of which you will want interrupted with the need for oral surgery. Let us shed a little bit more light on the topic!
Marking Your Implant Goals Holiday By Holiday
It’s so easy to say, “I’d love to have a complete smile by next winter!” However, when it comes to the actual details that require you to adhere to a timeline, to have a sense of pacing yourself, and more, it all becomes a little bit abstract. It can be easy to fantasize about replacing your teeth with dental implants but then to look up in November and realize you have not yet begun. While there are many different and effective ways to approach your smile journey, our Santa Rosa, CA team suggests something somewhat fun: Use the holidays as your markers of time!
Tooth Loss: Things You Don’t Want To Admit But Need To Consider
You might not want to admit many things associated with the fact that you have experienced tooth loss. Whether you are in denial or you just prefer to block things out that have caused you any level of trauma, our Santa Rosa, CA team certainly understands. However, with that said, we remind you that though there are things you’d rather not admit, you really should consider them. When you do, you open yourself up to all sorts of wonderful things, including oral surgery and dental implants! Remember: When you face the details, you will be looking down the road at a full, recovered smile that you receive through the gentle and thorough care of our team!
Skip The Resolutions And Start Right Now
Maybe you’re someone for whom resolutions work wonders! If so, then continue on with your usual New Year’s Eve plans to draft a list of fantastic changes you will follow through on for self-improvement in 2019! However, if you must admit that as much as you wish it would work, resolution making tends to fall flat for you, our Santa Rosa, CA team would like you to consider an alternate route toward achieving your oral surgery needs instead: Skip the resolutions and start immediately.
Why It’s Wonderful To Have An Oral Surgery Team
Maybe you need oral surgery at the moment and you’re so relieved that you have been in to see our Santa Rosa, CA oral surgery team before! Now, rather than having to do a bunch of research, essentially “interview” surgery teams, and find a place you feel comfortable, you’re already good to go. Perhaps you have never really thought about it but realize that maybe it would be a good idea to have a place you call your own, just in case you ever require our care! Learn more about why we are always more than happy to meet you!
What Do Implants Impact For You?
You likely have a good idea that dental implants can work for you by having a beneficially strong impact. However, what that impact includes may remain a mystery. Isn’t it just all about how your smile looks, you wonder? Is it strictly clinical in nature? It’s always nice to hear that something you’re considering for yourself is regarded as “good” or influential in a positive way. However, it’s when you hear about very specific details that actually apply to your life that truly helps. Tune in to our Rohnert Park, CA team’s quick share of knowledge, so you begin to really see how implants can help in remarkable ways!
Wisdom Teeth Removal: The Gift Your Child Wasn’t Expecting!
As we inch closer and closer to Christmas and you plan out gifts for the people in your life, one thing you probably didn’t plan on giving to your child as a special present is wisdom teeth removal. However, this might actually prove to be something you should begin considering. Of course, we don’t necessarily expect you to write out a handwritten gift coupon that says something like, “Good For One Oral Surgery Procedure.” It’s probably not going to be received with the appreciation you’d hope for! Though, you and our Santa Rosa, CA team know that this is one of the best gifts you could ever give!
Finishing Out 2018 With A Smile
You have a smile, of course! It’s the feature that lets you eat and talk and more. However, we ask: Are you going to be smiling by the end of 2018 in regard to this feature of yours or do you forecast more of a frown or grimace? If it’s the latter of these options, our Santa Rosa, CA team reminds you that whatever is happening, we are here to guide you with comprehensive oral surgery treatments and tooth replacement. What do you need in order to say hello to 2019 with a big, beautiful, and very healthy-and-complete smile on your face? Let us help you get there.
