Columbus Implant Dentist

Dr. Bill Thompson is a Columbus Implant Dentist that has been placing and restoring dental implants for over 10 years.   Many Columbus dentists don’t have the training to place dental implants so you must go to a specialist first and then come back to the dentist to finish the procedure. 

Whenever you visit a doctor to talk about a medical procedure it’s helpful to have a list of questions to ask.  Here is a list of questions to ask Dr. Thompson at your Dental Implant Smile Consultation.  We offer these complimentary consultation appointments so that you have a chance to meet Dr. Thompson and ask your questions and concerns about dental implants.

• How long have you been a dentist?
• What qualifications do you hold?
• How many years have you been placing dental implants?
• Am I likely to feel any pain during the procedure?
• What are you success rates with dental implants?
• What are the chances of something going wrong?
• How much does a dental implant cost?
• If something does go wrong, will I have to pay extra?
• What does the price include?
• How long will my dental implant last?
• Do you have any before or after pictures I can see?
• What can I expect from this procedure?
• How long does the dental implant procedure take?

Ask as many questions as you need to understand the dental implant procedure and to make sure you are comfortable with the dental implant dentist.  Dr. Thompson is compassionate about solving your dental dilemma so that you can enjoy a healthy smile for years to come.

Most young people today are confident that they will never need dentures.  They place importance and value on taking care of their smile and see their Columbus dentist on a regular basis.  But perhaps your parents or grandparents aren’t so lucky and they are suffering with dentures or perhaps not wearing their dentures because it’s a bother to keep the dentures  in their mouth or the dentures are painful and don’t fit properly.

Mini dental implants offer a solution for many people that have dentures.  Mini dental implants can secure a denture in place so that all food can be enjoyed again and a person can have the confidence that their dentures won’t come flying out while speaking or laughing!

• Mini dental implants are less expensive than traditional implants
• The dental procedure to insert the mini dental implant is faster than traditional implant method
• Due to the small size of the mini dental implant there is little or no discomfort when the dentist places the  implant

The benefits of mini dental implants include no more denture slipping or the risk of them falling out. Others include an improved fit, better comfort and being able to eat normally.

New patients to our office fill out a health history questionaire before their first appointment. 

The last two questions are:

How long do you plan to keep your teeth?  and

How do you feel about dentures?

The answer to the first question is typically “forever” and to the second question “yikes” or similar response. 

We ask this question to get people to think about what it takes to keep your mouth healthy and free of gum disease.  The most successful method of keeping your teeth for a lifetime is to take care of them.  And the alternative to keeping your teeth for a lifetime is dentures or limited teeth in your mouth. 

• If you have gum disease, do something about it. 
• If it’s been a while since you’ve seen the dentist, ask friends and family for a recommendation, and go see one. 
• If you are missing one or more teeth, go see a dentist and see what your options are.  Dental technology is constantly improving and you more have options on how to take care of small problem instead of waiting until they become big dental problems.
• If you’ve put off going to the dentist, don’t panic.  It may not be as bad as you think.  Every mouth is different.
• If you think dentures are your only option, look into mini-dental implants.  A skilled dentist and dental lab can make very natural looking and comfortable set of dentures and mini-dental implants can insure the dentures stays in your mouth.
