Probably the most important question we will ask you. In reaching your goal, we will clearly explain what we need to do to get there and provide you with the skills and knowledge of what you need to do to maintain our combined goal for many years to come. Whether it’s replacing a much-missed molar for chewing, a single front tooth, or your entire mouth, success begins with careful planning. Our team approach brings experts in surgical placement of the implants, meticulous laboratory skills, and development of a site that will optimize your final result.
One of the brightest spots of implant dentistry has been helping those people who suffer with ill-fitting, low performing, full lower dentures. With the simple addition of two to four implants in the lower jaw, we have quite literally changed lives. Performance, stability, chewing function and piece of mind can all be restored with careful simple planning.
As stated earlier, I have been successfully restoring dental implants since 1987. I have seen nearly every innovation and development in this long pathway called implants. Implant success has flourished because of this gained knowledge of what works and what has failed. In short, implants have become more simple and simple is better. It’s all in the planning. This also means the comparative costs have gone down making implants closer to the cost of traditional tooth replacement. In some cases, you may choose one of the traditional approaches to tooth replacement: bridges, removable partials or full dentures. But we will provide you with options, expected outcomes and costs of each restorative choice. We reach your goals by providing you the tools to correctly choose what’s right for you.
If you are still reading this summary of implant success, thank you. There is plenty of conflicting information on this subject packaged in all forms, especially on the internet. No complete discussion of dental implants can exclude what happens when things go wrong. More accurately put, how can you make sure nothing goes wrong. We provide you with the ability to clean and maintain your restorations. This means follow-up maintenance with our teams. These restorations require their own special care. Our job isn’t finished when you leave the office with your teeth. Continuity of care is the key if you’re not willing to clean and maintain these restorations, especially with regularly scheduled hygiene visits, these aren’t the right choice for you.
As we age, systemic health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and teeth grinding can impact oral health and implants. At James E. Bishop, we design personalized treatment plans to address these challenges. Aging often brings medication-related side effects, such as dry mouth, that affect implants. Our dedicated team is here to monitor and maintain your oral health, ensuring solutions are always available for the evolving needs of your smile.
Believe it or not, this has been a very brief summary of our philosophy on being your team to long term success. Like everything in life, there is no quick fix-get or a get out of jail free card. Planning, execution and maintenance are the keys to success. Thank you for your attention and we look forward to seeing you soon.
