Modern Assessment
Modern assessment has a variety of stages beginning with discussion, and visual examination. Radiographic assessment is an essential part of the process and usually involves the taking of a small cone beam CT scan to give a 3D computerised model of your jaw and reveal important anatomy and features that may be relevant in the planning of your case. In 2015 U Dentistry invested in a state of the art cone beam CT scanner allowing us to provide a complete and efficient in house assessment experience.
A Gentle Process
The surgery itself is a gentle process most often performed under local anaesthetic very much as you’d expect for a filling or extraction. Recovery is always a surprise to patients, on the day of treatment some analgesic assistance may be taken but often isn’t required, by the following day very little in the way of discomfort is anticipated. Completion of your implant retained teeth follows usually after a period of healing, these later stages are non surgical.
