Are Dental Implants for Everyone?
scaling and root planing If you are healthy enough to undergo oral surgery or tooth extraction, then you are a candidate for dental implant treatment. To determine your candidacy for the treatment, your dentist will conduct a thorough oral examination. The evaluation is intended to establish if your gums are healthy and whether you have enough jawbone quality and quantity to brace the implants. Also, you should be a person who observes healthy oral habits and maintains frequent visits to the dentist. Note that if you are a heavy smoker or suffer from a chronic illness like diabetes, HIV, heart disease, or have undergone radiotherapy to the neck or head first, the dentist must look at your unique situation before performing the procedure. However, individuals with chronic illnesses are ruled out of the process because of the increased risk of developing complications. Still, you must talk to your dentist first since they are better positioned to give their professional advice Quality Affordable Dentistry.
What is the Cost of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are more affordable in terms of durability and effectiveness than other restorative treatment options in the long run. Many factors determine the treatment costs, like the number of teeth that need replacing and the number of implants required. The location or site of the tooth to be replaced and the type of implant used also affect the treatment fee. On average, a single dental implant cost ranges from $3,000 to $4,500, depending on your oral needs. Dental insurance companies also don’t pay for this procedure because they deem it elective instead of a standard procedure for replacing missing teeth. At La Puente Advanced Dentistry, we recommend that you don’t fall for the attractive rates of dental implants out there. Some cosmetic dentists will use low prices to appeal to clients to use their services, although the quality of their services is compromised. Instead, we recommend that you visit a dentist for a thorough evaluation of the teeth and mouth. After the examination, the dentist should develop a detailed quotation of all the costs. You should do this with two or more dentists then compare their quotes to pick the most appropriate, based on your needs.
The Dental Implant Procedure
At La Puente Advanced Dentistry, we understand that any dental procedure can cause anxiety because many individuals walk into dental clinics anticipating pain and displeasure. Most pain or discomfort stems from the use of traditional tools to perform a dental implant. Therefore, we have invested in state-of-the-art tools, procedures, and techniques to offer quality dental care.
We believe that dental procedures should be comfortable, less invasive, and accurate, which is why our equipment is tailored to reduce pain. Unfortunately, some dentists still use the traditional tools and techniques to perform this treatment. Therefore, we recommend that you find a cosmetic dentistry clinic with well-trained professionals with knowledge of various restoration processes and various implant materials. That way, you can understand what to expect in your treatment plan.
When you visit our clinic for treatment, our oral surgeon will first examine the area of your teeth that requires the implant and conduct CT scans and X-rays. These are done to explore the quality of the jawbone to establish whether it involves bone grafting or safely placing the implant at the site. Once the dentist determines you are a candidate for the procedure, they will arrange another appointment when the treatment will be performed. Besides, you should discuss local anesthetic or sedatives being administered in the process. The first step of the treatment often involves dental surgery to remove the remaining parts of the damaged tooth, if any. Although implant placement is thought to cause a lot of pain, this is not usually the case. Implants are placed surgically on the bone for 30 minutes. However, a complete mouth implant might require up to four hours to place the implants. After the extraction of the remains of the missing or damaged tooth, if the walls of the underlying bone are thick enough, the socket will fill naturally within three months. However, if the socket walls are thin, bone grafting might be necessary after the extraction to help the body replenish the socket. After bone grafting, you will need to wait for several months before the implants are placed. If you have had a missing tooth for a long time, you may have inadequate bone to anchor the implant because of the thin bone. In these cases, bone grafting will be necessary to increase the dentistry area where the implant is required. Fusion of the existing bone with the new one takes around six months, so you must be patient. After the bone graft and it is ascertained that your jawbone’s quality and quantity is adequate, the site will be ready for an implant. |
