You made the decision that you need implants. Now, how do we do it? At our first appointment, we’re going to do an in the mouth scan of your teeth. A 3D scan. Our lab and technicians and I will get together, design your case. Once we have done that, we will set a surgery date. We will place the implants, and you will leave with some teeth that day. How does that sound? It sounds good to you? Give us a call and we’d be glad to take care of it.
