Millions of Americans suffer from tooth loss; unfortunately, missing teeth can cause more than just self-esteem issues. If you have missing teeth, you are prone to bone loss, and your remaining teeth can shift into the gaps where your teeth once were. In addition, eating and speaking correctly can become much more difficult when you have gaps in your smile. If you want a tooth replacement option that can give you stability and aesthetic beauty at the same time, consider dental implants from Diagonal Dental of Boulder.
What Is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are a tooth replacement option that begins with a titanium post being placed into your jaw. This post acts as the root of your new tooth. Once your jaw has healed, we will set a connector onto the post before adding a dental crown or other restoration to complete your smile. Our dental office can replace one or all of your teeth with dental implants.
What Can You Expect to Pay for Dental Implants?
Dental implants permanently replace your missing teeth, so the implant procedure is not inexpensive. Many considerations factor into the cost of dental implants, including the following:
- Dental work needed before your implant procedure, such as sinus lifts, bone grafting, or extractions
- The extent of your gum recession
- The type of dental implants you choose
- Your dentist’s location
- Number of teeth being replaced
- Your dental insurance
Because there are so many variables, it’s best to schedule a consultation with our dental office to discuss dental implant costs for your dental situation.
Ways to Pay for Dental Implants
When it comes to financing your dental implant procedure, here are some things to consider:
Check your dental insurance coverage – Your dental insurance may cover part of your dental implant procedure, so do your homework on the extent of your coverage.
Talk to your dentist about financing – Check with your dental office to see if they offer any in-office financing options or discounts for dental implants.
