If you look around Richmond you will find that there are many professionals who place dental implants. Some learnt how to it in a proper training course over several months while others learnt how to do it over a weekend. The success of your procedure depends on how well you choose the dentist who performs it – they must be competent in implant dentistry. It is always advisable to take your time and do your research so that you can eventually have teeth that allow you to eat, speak, laugh and do other day to day activities just like your normal teeth.

You may be tempted to choose other teeth replacement procedures that cost less and take a shorter time such as bridges and even dentures. Don’t; so long as you can cobble together the money needed for Richmond dental implants you will be much better off with them for several reasons. The first, of course, is that they are the most natural teeth replacements – they look and feel like your own teeth and no one can tell that they are replacements. Second, they last a life time – one you install them you won’t have to worry about having it done again. They are also incredibly easy to maintain and best of all, they don’t get cavities.

Just as you would do when choosing any other medical professional, it is important that you be thorough. You need to ask the right questions in order to know just how qualified your implant surgeon is:

•    What treatment options do they usually use when replacing missing teeth? Ideally, dental implants should be on the list. Find out if they do lots of them – the more, of course, the better because they have more experience.

•    What is their success rate? Out of every 10 implant procedures that they do, how many of them go perfectly well?

•    What is their education and training on dental implants? The fact that a dentist went to a good dental school doesn’t necessarily mean that they are good at performing dental implant procedures. They should have specific training in the field.

•    What kind of implants do they recommend for you and can they explain why those are the best?

•    Can they walk you through the procedure? What is done, when is it done and who does it? How long does the whole thing take?

•    What can you expect in terms of pain levels and recovery time? Will they help you manage the pain?

•    Will you have teeth during the process?

•    Clarify the kind of anesthesia they will use.

•    Are there any risks that you may face because of the procedure?

•    Can they show you before and after photos of patients that they have treated before?
