The decision to have dental implants is a positive step towards physical and psychological well-being. It is the path to a healthy and confident smile and, with proper preparation and regular care, the procedure is rewarding. The Algarve Dental Implants team is here to support you every step of the way!
The initial consultation is an excellent opportunity for you to have all your doubts clarified, understand every single detail about the procedure and feel entirely confident and comfortable with your decision. Our team will help explain the process, the benefits and any other aspect that you feel is important to talk about. Open and honest communication is crucial at this stage, so please do not hesitate to share your concerns and expectations.
Based on the assessment, Dr. Cris Piessens will develop a customised treatment plan that includes the number of implants needed and the type of procedure to be used. The plan will be discussed in detail, including the costs involved and the treatment schedule.
Preparing for surgery involves several essential steps such as, undergoing imaging scans or determining the most suitable anesthetic approach to ensure your comfort during the procedure. You will receive guidance on how you can prepare for the surgery in the days leading up to it, including tips on what to eat especially in the hours before and how to manage your medication. Adjusting your medication is essential as it can affect the treatment plan.
Our primary focus will be ensuring your comfort and safety on the day of your surgery. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and adhering to all the pre-operative guidelines that we have provided. Our team will ensure you feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout the procedure.
The post-surgical phase is equally crucial to ensure a smooth and effective recovery. Rest, a diet of soft/liquid foods and special care with oral hygiene will be your best allies. And, of course, at this stage, we will always be available to help you with any support or clarification you may need.
The Algarve Dental Implants team will guide you through the post-operative phase ensuring you know how to keep the area hygienic and what steps to take to minimise swelling or discomfort. We will work together during this phase until your smile is fully recovered and confident.
We understand that every smile is unique as is the journey towards achieving it. We will provide you with all the knowledge and support you need to make this a positive and transformative experience. Your journey to a happy and healthy smile, a new chapter of well-being, is about to begin. .
