Did you know that your jawbone can lose up to 25% of its mass within the first year after a permanent tooth falls out? This erosion occurs without a root to stimulate new bone growth every time you bite down. Over time, it can become too weak to support your remaining teeth. However, your dentist can provide dental implants<\/a> that are surgically embedded into your jawbone to halt this process and stabilize your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been considering rebuilding your grin but have been waiting for the right time, why not start this summer? There are many reasons that these months are ideal for initiating the dental implant process. Continue reading to learn about 3 of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Reason #1: Your Schedule is More Flexible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many patients are surprised to learn that getting dental implants requires multiple visits and happens in stages over a period of time. The entire process includes an initial consultation, impressions, two separate surgical procedures, and finally, placing your restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be challenging to fit the different appointments and surgeries into your schedule during the year when it\u2019s full. Thankfully, summertime routines tend to be more relaxed with school out of session. Even work schedules slow down with so many people taking off for vacation. You\u2019ll be able to include your dentist on your calendar without as much worry that you\u2019ll be missing important meetings or deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason #2: You Have Time to Recover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants offer unique advantages over alternatives like dentures or dental bridges because they\u2019re the only type of artificial tooth that\u2019s placed directly in your jawbone. Once the titanium rod has been surgically placed, it takes a while for your jawbone to fuse with it through a process called osseointegration. Over the next 3 to 6 months (or sometimes longer), every time you bite down, the titanium pole in your mouth will stimulate new bone growth in your jaw. Eventually, enough material is generated around the implant to keep it firmly rooted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By starting this process early this summer, you could have enough time to recover and have your dental crown placed when things pick back up in the fall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason #3: Your Benefits Haven\u2019t Expired<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re relying on your dental insurance to help cover the cost of your restoration, then now is a great time to have your initial dental implant consultation. You\u2019re more likely to have met your deductible now that several months have passed in your annual insurance cycle, so coverage has probably already kicked in. Plus, if there was a required waiting period, you may have passed it by now. Most likely, you can proceed with dental implants with fewer restrictions than if you tried at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initiating the dental implant process early in the summer means that you could be ready for the next steps this autumn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
