"Dr. O'Roark, what is the
dental implant process like at Tidewater Dental?"
At
Tidewater Dental we begin with a thorough evaluation of your medical and
dental history, and a full clinical examination of your entire mouth and
the missing tooth area. The clinical exam should also include specific
X-rays.
After assessing your situation, a comprehensive treatment plan can be
devised and implants are surgically placed in the jawbone while you rest
under sedation.
The length of the healing time is based on the quality and quantity of
bone, as well as the type of implant placed. After adequate healing is
allowed to occur, the implant can be used to support a crown, bridge, or
denture.
