What Are The Risks Of Getting Treated With Dental Implants In Encino, CA?

Like any medical procedure, dental implant surgery comes with its own set of potential risks and complications, though they are rare and typically manageable when they do occur. The major risks involved in dental implant surgeries include infections at the site of the dental implant, damage or injury to surrounding oral structures, nerve damage, sinus problems, and dental implant failures.

The following goes into detail about the risks of getting treated with dental implants.

Infection:

Infection can occur due to improper post-operative care or a compromised immune system. It is important for patients to follow the post dental implant placement surgery instructions carefully to minimize this risk. Damage to surrounding tooth structures is minimized with careful planning and the use of advanced imaging techniques during the placement of the dental implants, but unexpected complications can still occur.

Nerve Damage:

Nerve damage brings about the risk of a changed sensation in the gums, lips, tongue, and chin area, which could be temporary or permanent. The dental practice’s dental implant placement experience and precision are crucial in avoiding this risk. When it comes to sinus issues, preoperative evaluation is key to prevent sinus-related complications for dental implant placements in the upper jaw.

Dental Implant Failure:

Dental implant failure might result from the body’s rejection of the dental implant material, though this is exceedingly rare with modern biocompatible materials. More commonly, dental implant failure can occur due to poor osseointegration, where the dental implant post does not properly fuse with the patient’s jawbone.

Improper osseointegration can be due to several factors including poor bone quality, improper placement, or excessive stress on the dental implant before it fully heals.

How it works

Educate Yourself

The educational process that we do with all of our patients is the “secret sauce” that helps me get you the best possible restorations and also helps to stabilize your mouth so you don’t need more work in the future. My free Holistic Dental Course is how we achieve that, one-for-one. Please sign up for that right away. We require all new patients to go through the free course prior to getting their full in-person exam wit me. If you would like a list of the free course videos so that you can move through them faster, simply call, email or text in and our office manager can send that to you.

Send in Xrays for Free Evaluation or Come in for $100 Full Mouth Series

If you have a Full Mouth Series of xrays from the past year, send them in for a FREE evaluation from Dr. O’Malley. If not then, just like the video at the top of each page states, you come in for $100 xrays and the evaluation is free. If you are currently in pain then call in and we can handle emergencies by using our network of referral doctors. We don’t want to rush into treatment until the game plan is 100% worked out and the diagnosis is complete. Planning is key and you need to understand what is happening with your body.

See if We Are the Right Fit

As you are rolling through the free course and waiting for your xrays to be evaluated, our office manager, my office manager, is always available to answer questions via email or calling in. Our cost is around $900 per tooth for smaller restorations or $3,200 per tooth for larger restorations. We can help you file with your insurance but we do not file on your behalf. We do not do 1-tooth-dentistry but can give you a recommendation to other dentists who do. Call us, we will help! Whatever you need, we will try to give you the solution!

Come in For a Comprehensive In-Person Evaluation

After we finish the $100 pre-examination (over the phone with xrays), then we book the full in-person evaluation with me for $195. We will get to know each other and also do a full 2-3 hour clinical examination. This step is NEVER rushed. You will have NO mysteries about your mouth and complex cases are VERY welcome. It’s time to end your dental disaster once and for all. Compatibility between us is key before getting involved with treatment! I will print you a full treatment plan with pricing and sequences based on which areas are in the worst condition. Average treatment plans range from $5,000-$90,000.

Go Over the Finances and Begin

Your treatment plan is broken down and options are given to address your entire mouth as a system – section by section. I don’t do “duct-tape dentistry” and I want a product of a healthy and functional mouth FOR LIFE, so please be ready to confront handling your mouth once and for all. We work with CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and we also have a list of great 0% credit card options. Any major work needs to be pre-paid prior to scheduling.
