Discover the Best Dental Implants Near You – Transform Not Just Your Smile But Your Life
When you search for the “best dental implants near me” it’s more than marketing that you need. A combination of crucial factors will ensure proper and long-term successful treatment.
Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is more than a simple dental treatment. It affects many aspects of our lives, our ability to eat, our social well-being by being able to confidently and comfortably speak and stay presentable, but most importantly it’s a way to maintain our own personal integrity. Losing teeth is a hit to our livelihood, our youthfulness, and sense of self-worth, simply put its is a disability just like losing a digit, a hand, an ear, or an eye. Just like any treatment done in and on our body, it is important to pick the appropriate provider, the right doctor.
What makes or breaks such treatments, is the multifactorial: your overall health, the providers involved, and your homeware afterwards. This sounds like any other medical treatment doesn’t it? Yes! Because it is. Simply put we won’t go to our primary care to fix our broken hip. Therefore, it is incredibly important who we pick to do our treatment and what is their philosophy.
Here in San Mateo Prosthodontics, Dr. Schauer and myself, will take a look at you as a whole, what is involved in your medical care, what are the current conditions or your teeth and gum and we provide a plan to fit all above. We collaborate extensively with trusted colleagues in our neighborhood to provide the most ideal result possible for you.
Implant dentistry has two components to it: surgical placement of an implant (to restore a missing root structure) and a clinical crown (to replace the part of the tooth that sit above the gum). This treatment should be prosthetically driven, meaning your prosthodontist through proper evaluation will design a prosthesis for the missing tooth. This could be single crown, a 3 unit bridge, or a full mouth restoration. These details will then be shared with the surgeons (oral surgeon or periodontists) to execute the surgical portion of treatment. You see if it almost like construction of a building you need an architect to set the plan down and come up with a blue print and a general contractor to then set the proper foundation down. Like everything else in life it takes a village!
And just planning your office, it takes all parties to communicate and collaborate properly for great outcome and that should start with us providers sitting down and listening to our patients.
Understanding your needs and wants, considering your overall health and life expectancy, and what we think is deliverable will be the determining factors in our treatment plans. You want to smile, yes we know. We want your smile to last a long time. So whenever you are ready, come in and we can have a chat to see what is a possibility.
