Implant treatment can involve more than the implant itself. The final restoration, diagnostic imaging and any preparatory procedures all form part of the treatment plan where they are clinically required. For example, replacing one tooth with an implant and crown is planned differently from supporting several replacement teeth with multiple implants.
Bone levels can also affect what is needed before placement, particularly where grafting or a sinus lift needs to be considered. Your consultation gives the clinician enough information to map out the individual stages of care and explain which elements apply to your case before treatment begins.
