Planning Your Implant Timeline: How To Do It

There are lots of things to think about as you’re considering doing something about your tooth loss, particularly when you decide that you’re ready for dental implants! One of those major factors you might find yourself uncertain about but that is very important: Your timeline. How long is it all going to take, when should you get started, is it important that you begin right away or do you have some wiggle room, etc.? Since you don’t know any of this stuff just yet, our Livonia, MI practice reminds you that there’s a very easy way to figure all of this out. Start with some basics right now! Then, of course, remember that a quick conversation with us will give you all of the insight you’re currently missing on the matter!

Consider A Personal Goal

First, you might wish to consider a personal goal if you’re having trouble finding a definitive starting date. For instance, do you have someone special in your life getting married soon? Are you getting married? Are you worried about having a full smile by holiday time? Whatever the case, if you need some sort of actual date to give you the motivation to say, “I want a complete smile by such-and-such time,” this is often very helpful. Or, of course, you can simply decide to start with your dental implants immediately!

Talk With Us About Urgency

You may worry that if you wait too long, it’s going to become more difficult to receive dental implants. You may wonder if you wait a year if you’ll still be able to simply sign up to replace missing teeth this way. This is certainly something that we need to discuss with you in person because it depends on your current tooth loss circumstances, the health of your jaw tissue, and more! We are more than happy to help you sort out this detail regarding your timeline, so you’re certain not to put off something that requires an immediate start.

As mentioned, you cannot do this all on your own! Talk with our team. Ask all of your questions, even if you feel a little embarrassed by some of them, and you will soon have the answers and the plan you need.
