This collaboration puts you in charge of your own dental health and helps you feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident about your treatment choices.

Who is a candidate for dental implants?

The best candidate for this procedure is a patient who needs one or more teeth fully restored and who wants a strong, realistic, and very long lasting solution. Here are some of the factors Dr. Darrell Morton will take into consideration in determining whether dental implants are a good option for you:

• The number of teeth involved to determine the type of implant-supported restoration (crown, bridge, etc.)
• The location of the teeth to be restored (e.g., near a sinus cavity)
• Where nerves are in the treatment area so they can be avoided
• How much pressure the implant will need to withstand from biting or chewing
• The presence and health of bone underneath the gum to support the implant
• Whether other teeth need to be aligned to relieve pain or reduce wear over the long term

Treatment planning

Having a dental prosthetic implanted and a custom-made porcelain crown attached is a process that occurs over a series of visits. We strive to make each step of treatment as pleasant as possible with spa quality amenities to keep you calm and relaxed during these procedures.

The exact amount of time that elapses between each phase of treatment is different for every patient. However, we will discuss the typical timing of each stage so you can fit treatment into your schedule around your other life activities. Treatment planning will also include a personalized financial consultation to arrange the most affordable payment schedule for your dental implants.
