At Fair Lakes Family Dentistry Cypress, getting dental implants takes three visits.
First dental implant visit
First, your provider performs an oral exam and takes oral X-rays to assess the health of your jawbone. If you have enough bone to support the implants, your provider administers a local anesthetic and inserts a series of titanium screws into your jaw.
Following the implant placement, your provider writes a prescription for pain medicine and provides care instructions.
Second dental implant visit.
Three months later, when the implants finish integrating with your bone, you return to Fair Lakes Family Dentistry Cypress. Your provider takes impressions of your mouth and sends them to a laboratory that creates a custom restoration, like crowns, a bridge, or fixed dentures.
Third dental implant visit
When the laboratory completes your implant restorations, you return to Fair Lakes Family Dentistry for the last time. Your provider bonds the restorations to your dental implants, polishes your teeth, and tells you how to keep your implants in optimal condition. You leave the office with a beautiful, healthy, and fully restored smile.
