In this video, Dr. Jacob Baker explains what to expect during your first appointment, including a detailed evaluation to determine the best treatment plan for your dental needs. To get started on your personalized care, schedule an appointment at Riviera Dental Care today.
At your first appointment at Riviera Dental Care, we will take detailed scans to assess your bone and tissue structure. This evaluation helps us determine the best approach to achieving your dental goals.
Based on your specific needs, we will decide the number of implants needed and estimate the treatment timeline. In some cases, the process can be completed in just a few days, while more complex cases—such as those requiring extractions and bone grafting—may take up to a month. Our goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that ensures the best possible outcome for your smile.
