Our Comprehensive Care Approach at Hillcrest Dental
Hillcrest Dental is not just a dental office; it's a place where advanced technology meets compassionate care. Dr. Iraj Kasimi and our dedicated team believe in a patient-focused approach, ensuring that from your initial consultation through to your recovery, you are fully informed, comfortable, and cared for.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Personalized Treatment Planning
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Kasimi will discuss your dental history, assess your oral health, and take detailed images of your jaw and teeth. This step is crucial for creating a tailored treatment plan that suits your specific needs. We also take this opportunity to answer all your questions about the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes.
Step 2: The Surgical Phase of Dental Implants
The next step is the surgical phase, where precision and expertise are key. This is performed with your comfort as a priority, which is why various sedation options are available to ensure a pain-free experience. During the surgery, a titanium post is carefully placed into your jawbone; this will serve as the foundation for your new tooth.
Step 3: Healing and Osseointegration – What to Expect
After the implant is placed, the healing phase begins. This is a critical time known as osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone to create a stable base for the artificial tooth. We guide you through this process, advising on diet, oral hygiene, and any medications to manage discomfort. This period of healing is essential for the long-term success of the implant.
Step 4: Placing the Final Crown and Aftercare
Once your implant has integrated successfully with the bone, you'll return to our office to have the final crown placed. This crown is crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you care for your new tooth just as you would your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
