What to expect at your implant consultation in Tyler, TX

The Initial Consultation

First, you will come to our office for a consultation with Dr. L Nash. During this visit, Dr. L Nash will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth and take x-rays to evaluate your oral health needs and the density of your jaw bone. Based on these findings, Dr. L Nash will discuss with you whether you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. Together, you will decide if dental implants are the most suitable option to restore your smile or if another restorative option is more appropriate.

Your Oral Surgery Treatment

Once your treatment is authorized, you and Dr. L Nash will arrange an appointment for oral surgery. During this appointment, you will receive a comprehensive treatment plan. To initiate the procedure, Dr. L Nash will make a small incision in your gum line and insert a dental implant into your jaw bone. This implant, shaped like a screw and made of titanium, will fuse with your natural bone. Afterward, the incision will be cleaned, disinfected, and closed to facilitate the healing process.

Healing & Osseointegration

Once the implants are inserted, your gums will immediately start the healing process. Most patients fully recover from the initial surgery within 2 weeks. However, it takes approximately 3-6 months for the implant to securely fuse with the jaw bone, a process called "osseointegration."

Creating the Restoration

You will need to come to our office at Tyler, TX multiple times during your healing journey to ensure that the implant is properly bonding with your jaw. Dr. L Nash will examine your bite and take impressions, which will be sent to our reliable dental lab. They will then create a personalized dental prosthetic that will be attached to your dental implant.

Applying the Restoration

Once we have received your completed dental prosthetic, and your implant has finished bonding with your jaw, you’ll return for your final visit. During this visit, Dr. L Nash will finish up the procedure by attaching the restoration to your dental implant, permanently securing it with dental cement or another adhesive.

Maintenance & Aftercare

Dental implants are low-maintenance as they only require regular oral hygiene practices. Remember to brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist every six months for cleanings and exams. By maintaining good oral health habits, your dental implant can last a lifetime.
