There are many choices on the Palouse for your dental needs, but there isn’t many dentists that will care for you like Dr. Hansen and his staff. Dr. Hansen goes above and beyond with his sincere and excellent care. To be honest, I don’t love the dentist- but Dr. Hansen and his staff make it the best it can be. Another thing- many area dentists look for a reason to do thousands of dollars of work in your mouth- upon intake Dr. Hansen takes the time to get to know you and what level of dental care you are comfortable with- if you want every single thing fixed…you got it. If you’re like me and don’t want to fix it until it needs fixing…you got it! Thank you Dr. Hansen and staff!
Become a Candidate for Dental Implants With Surgery
Not every patient needs oral surgery to get dental implants. Because Dr. Hansen is an implant expert, you can trust that he’ll only recommend what’s necessary for you. For example, if you are replacing an entire arch of teeth, you may be eligible for implant dentures. Since it uses fewer implants, you won’t need as much bone mass in your jaw. As a result, you may not need a bone grafting procedure.
Dr. Hansen will do a thorough exam and discuss your goals. Then, he’ll take digital X-rays and 3-D scans of your mouth to plan your procedure. If you’re nervous, you can opt for sedation through laughing gas or a small pill you take before your appointment. Both will help your anxiety.
Based on your unique dental needs, your treatment may include:
- Tooth Extractions – He’ll extract damaged or diseased teeth if they put your oral health at risk. He can also extract remaining teeth to make room for implant dentures.
- Bone Grafts – This procedure adds bone mass in your jaw, so it can support dental implants.
- Ridge Augmentation – This treatment is a bit more extensive than a graft. Dr. Hansen will recreate the contour of your jaw and restore bone lost in your mouth.
- Sinus Lift – If you are getting implants in your upper jaw, he may need to raise the sinus area to make room for them.
