It\u2019s normal to be a little nervous about what comes next. Once you\u2019ve booked your appointment for your first consultation, you may be curious about what to expect, but there\u2019s no need to be worried! The next step on your oral health journey is a no-pressure visit with your dental implant team to go over your individual needs and to answer any questions you may have about your new smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At Your Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you arrive at your consultation, you will meet your dentist and dental team if you haven\u2019t yet met. This will help you get comfortable with the staff, as well as give them the opportunity to get to know you and understand how to best care for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After introductions are made, it\u2019s time for a conversation with you and your dentist to go over your goals. Whether you\u2019re needing one tooth or a mouthful of dental implants, your dentist will discuss your options in regard to implant types, implant durability, your overall health, and any questions or concerns you may have about your implants or surgical procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluation and Imaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, your dentist will examine your mouth. He or she will be looking closely at the health of any remaining teeth, your gums, and your jawbone. Images such as X-rays may also be taken at this time to give your provider a more comprehensive picture of your bone health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, your dental team will present you with a treatment plan. This will cover all of the steps in your dental implant journey, including what you need to do prior to surgery and post-surgery, as well as costs, care, and what you can expect from your results. This is also an opportunity for you to ask additional questions that may have come up during your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready, Set, Go!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what to expect from your consultation, if you haven\u2019t already, it\u2019s time to book your appointment. The team at your dental office will let you know what you need to bring with you to your visit, including things like ID, insurance information, and medical records. Good luck on this exciting adventure to better oral health!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolfedental.com\/about-us.html\">At Wolfe Dental Hillsboro<\/a>, Dr. Wolfe, Dr. Bardeloza, Dr. Wahlen, and Dr. Proulx are happy to provide quality dental care in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
