It can be daunting to hear that you need to have all your teeth removed to make way for dental implants. We understand and want you to know that the Laguna Springs Dental team respects your concerns and feelings. Dr. Albik is an expert in placing and restoring dental implants, and his gentle, caring nature will immediately put you at ease.
Planning Implant Surgery
The first step is to meet with Dr. Albik at our Elk Grove, CA, dental office for your initial examination. At this appointment, he will take a series of photos, a digital scan of your mouth, and 3-D cone beam CT scans.
He collects this information to add to your patient record and plan treatment. Next, he will consult with you to determine the appropriate shade for your temporary replacement teeth. Our goal is to design a beautiful smile that everyone will assume is all your own.
Placing Your Implants
On the day of your procedure, we do everything to ensure you are comfortable. Our dentist will numb your mouth so you won't feel any pain, and our dental team will be by your side to provide whatever support and encouragement you need.
When your implants are in place, Dr. Albik will attach your first set of temporary teeth. You will have a complete smile, but you can expect food restrictions while your implants heal. Our team will provide instructions and details about the foods you should and should not eat.
Get Your Smile Back with Dental Implants
There's a process involved with getting implants, but the results can be life-transforming. If you're concerned you need full tooth replacement, we would love to explain dental implants' benefits. Please call our Elk Gove, CA, dental office to schedule an appointment.
