There’s something to be said about the slow pace of summer. The days are longer, the traffic is lighter, and everywhere you go people just seem happier. Summer is the perfect time to take a vacation, relax by the pool, and to finally take control of your oral health and get dental implants! If you’ve been thinking about dental implants but have been waiting for the right opportunity, here’s why your time has come.
More Available Appointments
During the summer, your dentist likely has more available appointments since many patients are on vacation. Take advantage of this opportunity to schedule your dental implant procedure at a time and date that works best for you.
Take A Staycation
With the holiday season and back to school just around the corner, summer is a great time to take a vacation before things get hectic again. Use that time to rest and recuperate, and to schedule your dental implant surgery. You’ll be able to heal at your own speed and you won’t feel the stress or pressure to get back into the swing of things like you would during the busy season.
Get Ready for Holiday Fun
While the holidays are still months away, now is the perfect time to get started on improving your oral health. Imagine greeting friends and family with a glowing smile full of beautiful white teeth, and even looking happy and confident in your holiday photos. Plus, you’ll be able to enjoy all those delicious seasonal treats!
Use It or Lose It
If you’ll be using dental insurance benefits to partially cover your dental implant procedure, remember that your benefits will not roll over into the new year. Don’t throw your money away. Take advantage of your plan before the end of the calendar year.
Don’t Put Yourself Last
You lead a busy life, and likely put the needs of your family ahead of your own. Unfortunately, when it comes to your oral health, delaying vital care can make a problem go from bad to worse. When you’re missing teeth, your jawbones can deteriorate because they no longer have the stimulation provided by the tooth. Thus, the body begins to break the bone down, and the longer you go without replacing a tooth, the greater the degradation.
This can lead to the need for a bone graft to support an implant, or in advanced cases of degradation you may not be able to get dental implants at all. This is why it’s so important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible.
This summer, take advantage of the laid-back pace and schedule your dental implant procedure before it’s time to get back to business as usual, and you could be sporting a healthy, beautiful smile by the new year!
