Are Implants Right for You?

When you make an appointment at the office our experienced dentist staff will perform a thorough examination of the teeth and gums and evaluate the overall oral health. Any areas of tooth damage or decay will have to be evaluated for dental implants. Also any signs of periodontal disease will need to be addressed. Diagnostic imaging will be used by the dentist to look at the overall health of the jawbone to see if you are required to have any prep treatments such as bone grafting. You will need to be a non-smoker in good health and not have any serious preexisting health conditions which would be contrary to surgery risks.

Things to Consider in the Cost of Treatment

There are many things to be considered which can affect the bottom line of your dental implant surgery:

Bone Graft – The implants do require much bony tissue for support. Sometimes after tooth loss the jawbone can deteriorate due to its lack of stimulation from the roots of the tooth. Bone grafting can be performed by an oral surgeon in order to build up a strong foundation for an implant.

Implant Type – There are different sizes of implants which can vary in cost. Mini dental implants are a type of implant that do not require as much bone structure to support a crown, bridge or denture. These tend to be less expensive.

Material – Titanium is typically what is used for implant posts but a cheaper substance called zirconia can also be used.

Restoration – Whether you need a bridge, crown or denture will dictate the material which will be used.

Financing and Insurance

Benefits differ with all insurances. Our staff is trained to see if you are eligible for any coverage with your insurance. There are several payment options provided for patients so please inquiry with our trained staff upon your visit.
