Sandy Springs: Patient Doctor disconnect on Dental Implants?

When dentists feel their patient’s very first question should be –

1. Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

The patients asks –

1. How much do dental implants cost?
2. Will dental implant surgery be painful?

There really is a disconnect between the doctor and patient.  This comes as no surprise, since patients are thinking about how they are going to pay for the implants, and whether the procedure will be painful.  It turns out that there’s a real difference between the questions dental implant patients ask — and which questions they should be asking.

The top 5 questions dentists want patients to ask –

1. Am I a good candidate for implants?
2. What are the potential complications of dental implant therapy?
3. How much implant experience does the doctor have?
4. What is the healing time for my implants?
5. Can implants improve my appearance?
