Implant Dentistry Questions
When patients lose permanent teeth it's not uncommon for them to have many questions about how to replace them. One option is dental implants. Because this is a surgical procedure, it requires some serious consideration.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Dental implants are a permanent solution. When cared for properly your dental implants can last as long as a natural tooth. Dental implants are artificial teeth, but look very natural and feel secure. They can be a single tooth or a bridge. Implants will keep neighboring teeth from moving, prevent bone loss, will make your smile and speech more natural and are as secure as natural teeth for biting and chewing.
What are the disadvantages of dental implants?
Being a surgical procedure, not all patients are healthy enough for implant dentistry isn't for everyone. At our Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry & TMJ clinic you will undergo a thorough medical and dental evaluation to ensure that you are healthy enough to undergo surgery.
You must be in a position to wait for the healing and return for the attachment and follow up visit. The procedure is done over several months, and may take as long as a year. Dr. Deldar's method of implant dentistry involves two stages. First the anchor is implanted into the jaw bone. Healing and bonding to the bone takes several months. When secure, the dental implant attached to the implant.
What are the risks of dental implants?
Every dental procedure and/or surgery carries with it some degree of risk. Some of the most common risks include infection of the gums or jaw bone. Roots of neighboring teeth can be damaged as can nerves that connect the lip or sinuses. You can reduce your risks significantly by choosing experienced and qualified dentists such as Dr. Mike Deldar and Dr. Sohaila Deldar.
Will my insurance cover dental implants?
Dental insurance differs from plan to plan, so there is no universal answer to this question. We will contact your insurance to determine if your plan will cover your implants. However, we offer several options for financing your dental implant work. We will work with you to find a payment plan that meets your needs.
