Everyone’s talking about dental implants these days, and with good reason. They are the most natural-looking and long-lasting choice for
tooth replacement. With single and multiple tooth options, these root replacements are an investment in your smile and wellbeing.
What Are Some Benefits?
Implants have many benefits. They help prevent bone loss, which may lead to more tooth loss, and restore your bite, allowing you to chew properly, which is important for good health. They’re a permanent application, so you don’t have to remove them for cleaning like dentures. Good oral care habits and regular checkups are the only maintenance you need. And you can eat all the foods you like without worry!
Is This Tooth Replacement Option Right for Me?
We’ll evaluate your gums and bone to determine if you’re a good candidate for implant surgery. It’s important to choose a dentist you trust, who listens to you, and offers treatment options based on what’s best for you.
FAQ
Is there an age limit for getting dental implants?
Yes, a patient should be more than 19-20 years old (should have completed his/her growth phase), but there is no upper limit age for dental implants.
How much do dental implants cost?
Each implant, along with its crown, costs around $4500-5000. If bone grafting is needed it is charged separately.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants have a high success rate (95-97%) and a high survival rate of approximately 94%.
How do I know if I am a candidate?
Please ask for an obligation-free consultation with the dentist.
Will my implant look natural?
With the concurrent use of high-quality photographs, 3D scans and state-of-the-art shade matching, staining and modification techniques, we strive to match the shade and shape of the natural adjacent teeth as much as possible, sometimes even mimicking the stains (only if you want to).
As much as all possible steps are taken to ensure a close match, there might be certain unavoidable limitations of teeth, material or any unforeseen chance that there might be a near match, in which case the dentist will discuss all in detail prior to the procedure.
Does insurance cover them?
Dental implants are covered by private health insurance, depending on the level of cover. Usually, 3-4 item numbers are used for dental implant restoration. We can check at our end, or patients can check with the health fund themselves based on our treatment plan.
When is bone grafting needed?
This procedure is used to augment deficient bone volume.
How long does it take to get implants?
It’s case-dependent but it usually takes 2-3 months for the lower arch and 4-5 months for the upper arch.
Are there any potential risks or complications associated with dental implants?
Like any surgical procedure, dental implants do carry some risks and complications, but with careful surgical/medical and restorative planning, we can avoid these complications. We use high-quality CT scans, teeth scans, careful surgical implant planning, and precise surgical guides to execute the plan.
