An implant consultation gives Dr Li the opportunity to assess your individual needs and discuss whether dental implants are suitable for your situation. We take the time during this appointment to ensure you feel informed and comfortable with your options.
During your consultation, you can expect:
- A thorough review of your dental and medical history
- An examination of your teeth, gums and jaw
- X-rays or scans to assess bone density and structure
- A discussion about the number of teeth you'd like to replace
- An explanation of the implant process and treatment timeline
- Time to ask questions and voice any concerns
Dr Li will explain how implants work, including the process of placing a small titanium post into the jaw, which then supports a custom-made crown, bridge or denture. He'll also discuss healing times, since the bone needs to fuse around the implant before the final restoration is placed.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for implants straight away. Some patients may need additional treatment first, such as bone grafting or gum disease management. Dr Li will clearly explain any preliminary steps and provide realistic timeframes for the overall process.
By the end of your consultation, you should have a clear understanding of your treatment plan, associated costs and what to expect at each stage.
