Our team at the Goldstein Implant Center has chosen to work with the most researched implants on the market today, Nobel BioCare. With over 30 implant systems available today, your particular situation may warrant the choice of another well established system.

Our team will begin by listening to your concerns and letting you know what to expect from this treatment. Most likely we will need some diagnostic radiographs to accurately help you to plan your treatment. If you already have x-rays please bring them so we will not have to take any for you. We will then discuss with you your options for the final teeth. You may choose to have fixed or removable final teeth, each has advantages and disadvantages. Once the final restoration is decided upon, we can decide just how many implants are needed to accomplish these goals for you. Next, we will provide you with the fees associated with your choice of treatments, and design a financial policy that is just right for you.

We will need to make molds of your teeth or gums, records of how your jaws close, photographs of your face and teeth, and if needed, we will use 3-D CAT SCAN imaging to design exactly where your implants will be placed. Our special imaging even allows us to pre-design your teeth so that they are placed for you the same day that you receive your implants. This is the "Teeth in a Day" concept that is revolutionizing dentistry. Instant gratification! We will go over your particular procedure in detail this day, and let you know of any special details pertaining just to you.

Behind the scenes, our team will be be using our CAT SCANS to plan and get everything ready for your special day. We may even call you for a sneak preview before we begin. Your job is to be healthy for the implant day. That means, eating well, taking any medications prescribed by our team in advance, and dressing comfortably on the day of surgery. Some patients may need a driver for after the implant placement, we will let you know that at your Treatment Begins appointment.

The day has arrived! Please come at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time to ensure that you are rested and ready to begin. Now all you have to do is lay back and let the Goldstein Implant team do the rest. You will probably want to take it easy for 1 to 2 days after your procedure. Remember to eat soft foods for at least 2 days while you get used to your implants and the new teeth.

We want to be sure you are healing properly and using your new teeth to their full extent, so we like to plan on at least one post-operative visit. This will be pre-planned for you at a convenient time.

Eating will be a pleasure with your new secure teeth. Please start with softer easier to chew foods and slowly work up to harder foods such as steak and nuts. You will soon be able to chew in public with extreme confidence, and you will be digesting your food much better.

Most patients tell us that speaking improves with their new implants. Naturally, having something new in your mouth may cause some initial difficulties, but these will quickly go away in about a week.

Cleaning your new implants will be just like cleaning your teeth. You will need to brush and either floss them or use one of the inter-dental brushes we will provide for you. Our goal is to make it easy for you to care for and maintain these for a lifetime.

Your new appearance will give you enormous self confidence with teeth that are just like your own. You may even find that you become more active, go out more often and become a whole new YOU!
