This four-part article series provides an in-depth look at teeth replacement using dental implants. It explains what dental implants are, how they work and what procedures are required to place them.
Welcome to the second installment of this four-part article series on getting new teeth with dental implants. If you have lost one or more or even all of your natural pearly whites, this series will explain everything you need to know about dental implants: regarded by Newport Beach dental healthcare professionals as the most sophisticated teeth replacement technique on the market.
In our previous post, Part 1, we began by explaining what dental implants are and when they might be needed. Now, let's take a look at the procedure required to get them.
Getting New Teeth Implants: What to Expect
As with any dental or medical procedure, your journey begins with an appointment with a doctor. In the case of new 
teeth implants, your medical professional will be skilled in the placement and restoration of dental implants. During your initial consultation, your surgeon will perform a visual examination and take a couple of X-rays to come up with a comprehensive diagnosis of your problem. If the tooth cannot be saved via root canal therapy or some other restorative dental work, then he or she will begin planning your treatment.

Newport Beach residents can expect to provide their dental implant surgeon with a complete medical history and to have impressions or molds taken of their teeth. This will help the laboratory technicians fabricate a replacement tooth or set of teeth for you. If you have any questions at all about getting new teeth implants, now is the time to ask your surgeon! The procedure will be explained in full detail to you and a date for surgery set. If you find yourself getting really nervous about your procedure, tell your dentist and he or she will ensure that they have a couple of oral sedatives waiting for you on the day you get your new teeth implants.
Great News: Some new teeth implants surgeons in Newport Beach work closely with medical financing companies to make it easier for patients to cover the costs of treatment.
Treatment Planning
If a patient is only getting one tooth replaced, they typically only need to come in for one initial consultation. But, if they are having many or all of 
their teeth replaced, we may require them to come in for one or more treatment planning sessions subsequent to their initial consultation and prior to their surgery. During these sessions, we will take 3D scans of the patient's jawbone and dentition using a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner. The resultant images will help us plan the surgery in great detail and in such a way that we can minimize complications and trauma and maximize the outcomes.

The use of sophisticated computer software programs and 3D treatment mapping in the planning of dental implant surgery has resulted in it being far less traumatic for patients. Additionally, the recovery required after having new teeth implants placed is typically far shorter and less painful, given that surgery is quicker, more efficient and requires far less "discovery", which means fewer incisions and sutures.
