The first step in the oral surgery process is a comprehensive consultation and evaluation. During this appointment, Dr. Aminlari will review your medical and dental history, conduct a thorough oral examination, and may order diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or a CT scan. This is to gain a complete understanding of your oral health and to plan the best course of treatment. It's also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and discuss any concerns you may have about the upcoming procedure.
Based on the results of your consultation and evaluation, Dr. Aminlari will develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan will detail the specific procedures needed, the estimated timeline, and the expected outcomes. The plan will also include pre-operative instructions, such as dietary restrictions or medication adjustments. At Bright Dentistry, we believe in patient-centered care, and we'll work closely with you to ensure that your treatment plan meets your needs and expectations.
On the day of your procedure, you'll be made as comfortable as possible. Depending on the complexity of the surgery and your personal comfort level, various types of anesthesia options are available. Dr. Aminlari will then perform the surgery as outlined in your treatment plan. Post-operative instructions will be provided to help manage any discomfort and promote healing.
Once your implant is secure, you’ll need to return to our office for crown placement. During this appointment, the dentist will open the gum of the implant and attach an abutment. The abutment penetrates the implant and forms a place to fit the custom-made crown.
