The dental implant journey
Starting on the journey of having dental implants can be daunting. In fact, you may feel like not starting at all. Could it be that some other, less satisfactory solution will do?
Here at Sheen Dental Implants, we have seen many patients embark on this journey in Richmond. Dental implants simply are fantastic. The patients we treat with this method of tooth replacement are very glad they stuck with it. When you opt for dental implants in Richmond, you can be sure that our team of dentists travelling with you on your journey are experienced and supportive.
Your journey will start with an in-depth consultation. After all, we want to understand what you expect from receiving dental implants in Richmond. Once we know this we can work out the right way to move forward. From then on you will be armed with your treatment plan, a timetable for your journey and a breakdown of costs for the treatment giving you peace of mind and realistic expectations. Whether you would like to replace one, two or even all of your teeth, so long as you have a healthy set of jaws and are over 18, we can help you to achieve wonderful results.
The implant surgery is carried out under local anesthetic, andyes, this is more than sufficient to numb any pain. However, if you are feeling nervous when it comes to treatment, we can give you an intravenous anesthetic.
The reality is that this is a tiring procedure, you will need to allow some recovery time. The next day at least is counted out. Prepare some of your favourite films, snuggly blankets and over-the-counter painkillers for the next 24 hours. You will need to spend a few days eating only liquid food and continuing with the pain relief but before you know it, you’ll be back in to have your beautiful crowns applied to your new implants. These crowns are tailor made to match your teeth. They will look and feel like your own and can last for many long yearsif you look after them with a diligent oral healthcare routine of brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups.
