Before you embark on the path of getting dental implants, it is critical to have a thorough assessment and detailed treatment plan. This involves a comprehensive dental exam, including X-rays and 3D imaging, and a review of your medical history. These help determine the health of your jawbone, the location of nerves and sinuses, and other factors that are crucial to the success of the procedure.

Through collaborative dialogue with your dentist, you’ll understand if additional procedures are needed. This might include bone grafting if the jawbone isn't thick enough, or a sinus lift if there's not enough room in the upper jaw or the sinuses are too close to the jaw.
