Reviving Hope: Overcoming Dental Implant Hurdles With Doctors Implants

by Andrew Mueller, DMD, MD | Oct 24, 2023

For many individuals plagued with dental issues, dental implants represent a beacon of hope—a chance to regain their smile, confidence, and quality of life. That being said, the road to dental implants is not always straightforward and often involves unexpected hurdles and frustrations.  

Having your hope of dental implants dismissed by one or more professionals who may lack the skill set or experience to confidently diagnose and treat the complexities associated with your particular case can be extremely disheartening. Fortunately, at Doctors Implants, we believe that every patient’s journey to a better smile deserves a chance, regardless of the challenges they face.  

If you’ve previously been turned away as a candidate for full mouth dental implants due to being a complex case or are hesitant about beginning your dental implant journey, this article is for you.  

Below, we’ll explore three of the most common reasons why people avoid getting dental implants, the misinformation that often accompanies them, and how Doctors Implants helps patients move forward with hope every single day.  

After reading this article, we encourage you to call us directly to schedule your free consultation with our exceptional team!  

What Are Some of the Reasons People Avoid Getting Dental Implants?

Getting full mouth dental implants is a major life decision that must be made with proper research and forethought. It’s normal to have doubts and uncertainties, which is why, at Doctors Implants, we’re committed to educating our patients about every step of the process.  

Our world-class Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and dedicated support team make it a priority to listen to patient concerns and questions, no matter how small or large they may be. Along the way, many patients share with us the dental implant hurdles they’ve already encountered and the unresolved hesitations they continue to face.  

Many patients feel alone in their challenges, but nothing could be further from the truth.  While every patient’s journey and experiences are unique, we often hear the same concerns echoed time and time again.  

At Doctors Implants, we welcome the opportunity to put our patients at ease by helping them see a clear path forward. Our genuine belief that every patient deserves the opportunity to receive dental implants is backed by years of experience and thousands of success stories.  

Let’s take a closer look at three of the most common dental implant hurdles we help our patients to overcome.  

Bone Loss

Because dental implants must be placed directly into the jawbone, people who have experienced bone loss (commonly associated with missing teeth) may be told they are “not a candidate” for full mouth dental implants or that they’ll have to undergo a bone graft procedure before they can receive dental implants. Understandably, both of these responses can be discouraging.  

At Doctors Implants, we’ve never turned a patient away due to bone loss and have successfully treated innumerable patients who were turned away by other doctors.  

Our leading team of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons uses advanced technology and techniques to eliminate the need for bone graft procedures and successfully place implants, even in the most complex cases. They possess the expertise and experience to confidently develop and execute personalized treatment plans that mitigate the risks and challenges associated with even the most severe bone loss.    

If you’ve been told that bone loss in your jaw makes you ineligible for dental implants, think again. At Doctors Implants, we’ll take a new and progressive approach to your case and help you achieve the radiant new smile you deserve.  

Anxiety

It’s natural to worry about undergoing full mouth dental implant surgery, but if anxiety is the main roadblock you’re facing, the team at Doctors Implants is ready to help. From the moment you walk through our office door, you’ll be treated like family.  

At Doctors Implants, our welcoming and comfortable environment will put you at ease as you receive personalized attention from our caring and compassionate team.  Our dedicated treatment coordinators, patient advocates, team, and doctors will be by your side every step of the way and you’ll have the opportunity to build a one-on-one relationship with your doctor even before making a final decision about your implant procedure. 

The fact that our dental implants have a higher than 99% success rate also provides an added layer of confidence and reassurance for our patients, as does the knowledge that the surgical portion of the 6 Hour Smile takes place under sedation.  Our experienced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons ensure that patients are comfortably asleep during any tooth extractions that may be necessary and throughout the placement of implants into the jawbone.  

Over the years, we’ve welcomed many anxious patients at Doctors Implants, most of whom have ultimately reported that their 6 Hour Smile experience was much easier and less painful than they ever anticipated. Schedule a free consultation today to learn more!  

Time

Traditional dental implants require a series of procedures over a time period of several months, which can be an off-putting prospect for many patients. But at Doctors Implants, our revolutionary 6 Hour Smile offers a more streamlined alternative.  

Developed over many years and refined over the course of thousands of surgeries, the 6 Hour Smile is a groundbreaking full mouth dental implant procedure that offers unparalleled quality and results in just one day.  Subsequent follow-up appointments under the care of our leading Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are necessary until you receive your permanent teeth (3-6 months after surgery), but our proprietary approach significantly cuts down the standard full mouth dental implant timeline you may have been given by other dentists or surgeons.

Importance of Communication

Your full mouth dental implant experience will only be as good as the doctors you choose to execute it. At Doctors Implants, our exceptional team is committed to transparent, personalized communication with each and every patient and wholeheartedly stands behind the belief that the 6 Hour Smile can be attainable for everyone.  
We’ve given thousands of patients hope and the gift of lifelong smiles.  We look forward to doing the same for you.
