Starting dental implant treatment is a big decision. To feel confident and well-informed, whether you’re being treated at Natural Teeth Implant Center or another provider in Jacksonville, this list of questions will help guide your conversation with your dentist.

Checklist: 10 Essential Questions Before You Begin

   Request a clear outline of each step: consultation, surgery, healing, prosthetic placement, and follow-up.
