What Does the Detailed Assessment Involve?
At this stage, we conduct a thorough evaluation of your dental health, medical history, and bone structure to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants. This assessment consists of:
- A full clinical examination to assess your gums, jawbone, and any existing dental work or restorations.
- Impressions and models of your teeth to visualise the final outcome and to assist in precise implant placement.
- Advanced diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, digital scans, and CT scans, to provide a complete view of your jaw structure and bone density.
Evaluating Your Health Status
Your overall health plays a critical role in the success of dental implants. During this step, we will review your medical history to identify any conditions, such as diabetes or osteoporosis, that could affect your healing process. If necessary, we will work closely with your general physician to ensure that your implant treatment is both safe and tailored to your unique needs.
Once we’ve gathered all necessary information, we will create a personalised treatment plan designed to meet your goals while addressing your clinical requirements.
The Importance of Treatment Planning & Digital Design
- Digital Smile Preview – Using digital mock-ups or previews, you can visualise the anticipated result of your implants, providing a clear idea of what to expect.
- Bespoke Treatment Plan – Surgical guides, stents, and 3D models play a vital role in ensuring the precise placement of your implants, allowing for accurate and effective planning.
- Managing Expectations – If any alterations or adjustments are required to meet your desired outcome, we’ll discuss them upfront to ensure you have realistic expectations.
- Precision & Predictability – The integration of both digital scans and physical models enables us to achieve a high level of accuracy when positioning the implants, making the procedure more predictable and precise.
- Exploring Other Solutions – If dental implants aren’t the best choice for your case, we will explore other restorative options that may better align with your needs and expectations.
