What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials that are surgically placed into the jaw bone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, providing a long-lasting solution for individuals with missing or damaged teeth.

There are various types of dental implants, including full-mouth dental implants, which replace an entire arch of teeth, making them ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.

Unlike dentures, which can shift and cause discomfort, mouth dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, ensuring stability and comfort for improved oral health and quality of life.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

The main benefits of dental implants include:

What to Expect

Your Dental Implants Procedure: What to Expect

1

Dental implant consultation

It starts with an initial dental implant consultation at our dental office, during which we assess your tooth replacement needs, treatment options, and overall dental health.

Once you’re happy with the treatment plan, we get to work.

2

The Procedure

The procedure itself is a multi-step process. First, we surgically place the implant into your jawbone, which will then need time to heal and fuse with the bone over a few months. Once the implant integrates with the jawbone, a custom crown is attached to it, completing the restoration.

Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable during the procedure. You may experience mild swelling or discomfort post-surgery, but it typically goes away within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

Some of the main questions surrounding implant therapy:

How much do dental implants cost?

On average, a single dental implant, including the implant, abutment, and crown, can cost from $3,000 to $5,000. Full-mouth dental implants, which replace an entire set of teeth, can cost significantly more, ranging from $20,000 to $50,000 or higher. It’s important to consult with your dentist for an accurate estimate based on your specific needs, and many offices offer financing options to help manage the cost.

Does dental insurance cover dental implants?

Dental insurance coverage for implants varies depending on your plan. While some insurance policies may cover a portion of the cost, especially if the implant is medically necessary, many plans consider dental implants a cosmetic procedure and provide limited or no coverage. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand your benefits, and your dentist can help explore financing options if needed.

Who needs dental implants?

Dental implants are ideal for individuals who have lost one or more permanent teeth due to injury, decay, or other dental issues. They are a long-term solution for those looking to replace missing teeth without relying on temporary teeth options like dentures or bridges. Dental implants provide a stable, durable alternative that restores both function and appearance, making them suitable for anyone seeking a more permanent tooth replacement option.

What are the advantages of dental implants over dentures or bridges?

Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures and bridges.

  • Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution: Where dental bridges typically last 5-15 years and dentures may need to be replaced or adjusted every few years.
  • Natural look and feel: Implants mimic natural teeth in both appearance and function. Unlike dentures, which can slip or cause discomfort, implants are securely anchored in the jaw.
Will my insurance cover dental implants?

Dental implants coverage varies significantly depending on your specific insurance plan and provider. Give us a call and we can help you figure this out.
