What questions would be helpful to ask to prepare for dental implants?

The first question that I would ask is “is it the temporary teeth on the implants that are loose or is it the actual implants?”Assuming that it is simply the temporary teeth that are loose and all healing is proceeding as planned then upper dental implants can have final teeth put on them in as little as four to six months. I hope you found this information to be helpful,Dr. Champagne 

Hello and thank you for your question. The best way to answer this is with an in-person evaluation, since your temporary implants are loose. There are several steps in creating dental implants. The Provisional (Temporary Crowns) are critical in finalizing the esthetics and look of the final restorations (Permanent Crowns). During the Provisional phase the shape, contour arrangement, position and color of the teeth can be tried and assessed to make sure you like the results. Then the temporary crowns can be used as a template for making the permanent crowns this will ensure the subsequent crown matches the color and shape of the surrounding teeth so and once it is placed will fit in naturally with the rest of your teeth. Because the crown is matched to your other teeth, it may be possible to have them completed in different times. I recommend getting a consultation with a prosthodontist to examine your temporary implants and advise you on next steps. A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth and can create a customized treatment using the latest techniques in dental implants.
