TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants can fill a gap in your smile by restoring a single missing tooth or dramatically transform your appearance by restoring an entire row of teeth. Common types of dental implants and restorations include:

  • Individual implant with crown

  • Implant-retained bridge

  • Implant-retained denture

The overall cost of dental implantation will vary depending on which type of dental implant you need to restore you smile. For example, implant-supported dentures that rely on 4 to 6 implants will likely cost more than just a single implant and crown to restore an individual missing tooth.  

WHAT ARE THE STAGES OF DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT?

After an initial consultation with an implant dentist in Conyers, the dental implantation process can typically be accomplished in several stages:

  • Stage 1: Surgical placement of the dental implant

  • Stage 2: Possible addition of an abutment to connect the implant with a crown, bridge or denture

  • Stage 3: Placement of the final restoration

Patients are often given time to let the healing process take place in between the different stages. Each trip to the dentist’s office for the next step in the process incurs a unique cost that will vary from case to case.

Important to note is that a patient’s oral health must be in excellent condition before undergoing dental implantation. Patients that need to treat their gums for periodontal disease or receive a bone graft to strengthen their jawbone can expect a higher overall cost.

ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS WORTH THE INVESTMENT?

Dental implants are an effective, reliable and attractive tooth replacement solution. Although dental implants may cost more than bridges, dentures and other traditional dental prostheses, no other alternative can match the superior stability and natural appearance that dental implants provide.  

Moreover, over the long-term dental implants may end up being the most cost-effective solution as well. If you practice excellent oral hygiene and visit a dentist every six months for a regular checkup, your dental implants can last decades – or even the rest of your lifetime! Bridges and dentures, meanwhile, typically must be replaced every 10 years or so.

So, there is really no question after all – dental implants in Conyers are without a doubt a worthwhile investment!

DOES MY DENTAL INSURANCE COVER DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Although many dental insurance plans do not yet provide full coverage for dental implants, you may be able to take advantage of your insurance benefits for other stages of the overall implant process. For example, your benefits may cover an initial consultation with or periodontal therapy to improve your gum health before implantation.
