Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Many people experience tooth loss for one reason or another. Gum disease is the number one cause, but you can also lose teeth because of decay or trauma. Thankfully, there are tooth replacement options that restore your smile’s appearance and function! Dental implants are popular. Are they right for you?
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of a biocompatible post and tooth restoration like a dental crown, bridge, or dentures. If you’re missing just one tooth, a crown is the most logical tooth replacement. We’ll decide what’s best during your consultation. Once we have designed a custom treatment plan, we’ll place the implant in your jawbone. Healing can take a while as the post needs to fuse to the bone. We’ll then complete the process by placing the tooth restoration!
What Are the Benefits of Implants?
When you lose teeth, your jaw’s bone density can weaken. A dental implant replaces the missing tooth root, which keeps your jawbone strong and healthy. Implants are the only replacement option that does this. Implants are also more stable and easier to care for than traditional bridges and dentures! If you want a tooth replacement that’s as close to the real thing as possible, implants are a great choice.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
Your budget is part of deciding what tooth replacement option is right for you. The cost of implants depends on factors like how many teeth you’re missing, how many implants you want, your oral health, and so on. You’ll get an accurate cost estimate at your consultation. We accept health insurance and offer a dental savers plan.
