Following an extraction, many patients are keen to have an implant installed as soon as possible. However, not giving the site of the extraction proper time to heal can lead to a range of problems further down the line.
The timeline for getting an implant after having a tooth extraction depends on the current state of your gums and teeth. Generally, most dentists recommend waiting up to three months before having an implant placed in the area where the tooth was extracted. During this time, you should follow your dentist’s instructions for optimal healing by practising good oral hygiene habits and limiting your diet to recommended foods until your mouth has had sufficient time to heal. A short term replacement tooth can also be discussed with your dentist.
Of course, this timeline can be shorter or longer depending on your individual needs and medical history so it is best to consult with the Aésthetik Dental team if you are considering getting tooth implants in Geelong soon after a tooth extraction.
Aésthetik Dental aims to ensure our clients have all the information they need to make an informed decision about their dental care.
We can insert dental implants in Geelong in three simple steps.
The first thing to do is book a complimentary smile consultation with our team. We’ll be able to have an open discussion about your dental concerns, check to see if you are a good candidate for implants and come up with an affordable plan to get you your dream smile.
Next, we’ll harness our state-of-the-art Digital Smile Design technology to give you a live look at your new smile.
Once you’re happy with our plan, we’ll get started on the implant procedure itself.
Finally, once you have approved our plan, we will organise the procedure itself.
Some people are hesitant to pursue dental implants due to the fear of pain during and after the procedure. While pain tolerance levels will vary between patients, most find that the dental implant procedure only causes minimal discomfort.
With comprehensive pre-surgical planning, sedation options and surgical techniques designed for your comfort, getting a dental implant does not have to be a stressful procedure. However, if you have previously had negative experiences at the dentist or the idea of getting implants causes anxiety, we encourage you to speak with our dentists about how we can create a welcoming environment and facilitate a positive experience.
At Aésthetik Dental, we’re firm believers in the power of a good smile. At the same time, we know that the cost of cosmetic dentistry can be a prohibitive factor for patients seeking out the dental care they need.
As a result, we strive to make our services as affordable as possible. We have partnered with a number of payment plan agencies, including ZipPay, Afterpay, humm, and Openpay, to increase the accessibility of our treatments.
From the starting price of $4990, you can book a free consultation, Smile Simulation, dental implant and crown. Our experienced team takes great pride in their work and is proud to be one of the best providers of dental implants in Geelong.
