What to Expect During Your Dental Exam at Pearl Dental Studio.

When you visit Dr. Cash for a dental exam at Pearl Dental Studio, you can expect a comprehensive and comfortable experience. Here’s an overview of what typically happens during your appointment:

CONSULT

This is the first step in the full arch process. During this appointment, you will meet with your Dr. Kurt O. Bally DMD FICOI to discuss your needs and options for dental implants. The consultation will typically take about an hour. This first and free visit is $525 value.
STEP 1
STEP 2

RECORDS

Your dentist will take a series of records, including dental x-rays, 3D scans, and photographs. These records will be used to create a treatment plan and to fabricate your dental implants.

PRE-SURGICAL CONSULT

This appointment is held before the surgery to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the recovery process. You will also have a chance to ask any questions you may have.
STEP 3
STEP 4

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.
STEP 5
STEP 6

HEALING

The implants will need to heal for 4-6 months before the next step can be taken. Dr. Bally will also provide a night guard to help prevent excess pressure from going to your implants. As you heal you will remain on a soft diet.

PROTOTYPING AND VERIFICATION

Once the implants have healed, your dentist will create a final prototype of your dental bridge. This prototype will be verified to ensure that it is the correct size, shape, and color. Before authorizing the fabrication of your new zirconia implant smile.
STEP 7
STEP 8

DELIVERY

This is the appointment where your permanent dental bridge is placed. The procedure typically takes about 1 hour. It's a truly rewarding visit for everyone.

POST-DELIVERY CONSULT AND DOCUMENTATION

This appointment is held after your new zirconia implant smile is installed and your final night guard is given and instructions to maintain your smile are discussed. Final pictures, X-rays and video mark the end of your zirconia implant smile journey.
STEP 9
STEP 10

MAINTENANCE

Your zirconia implant smile will need to be maintained on a regular basis to ensure that it continues to function properly. This may include cleaning, adjustments, and checkups.
Medical History Review
We’ll begin by reviewing your medical history and addressing any changes or concerns you may have. This helps your dental hygienist and Dr. Cash tailor your care and ensure we’re aware of any medical conditions or medications that could impact your oral health.

Comprehensive Oral Examination
Dr. Cash will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues, which includes:
  • A visual inspection of your teeth and gums
  • Checking for signs of tooth decay and gum disease
  • Assessing your bite and jaw alignment
  • Screening for oral cancer and other abnormalities

Digital X-Rays
We use advanced digital X-ray technology to capture a detailed view of what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. These X-rays allow us to detect issues not visible during a standard exam, such as:
  • Cavities between teeth
  • Bone loss from gum disease
  • Impacted teeth
  • Root infections
Digital X-rays also use much less radiation than traditional X-rays, making them safer for both you and the environment.

Professional Teeth Cleaning
A skilled dental hygienist will perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing may miss. The teeth cleaning process includes:
  • Scaling to eliminate tartar above and below the gum line
  • Polishing to remove stains and smooth the tooth surface
  • Flossing to clean between teeth and along the gum line

Personalized Oral Health Plan
Based on your exam results and cleaning, Dr. Cash will review your oral health status and offer recommendations for maintaining or improving your dental health. This may include:
  • Suggestions for enhancing your at-home oral care routine
  • Recommendations for specific dental treatments or procedures
  • Advice on diet and lifestyle factors that impact your oral health
  • Arranging a follow-up dental checkup or referring you to specialists if necessary
