\"ModelEvery tooth is invaluable to your oral health and quality of life. Losing even a single tooth can affect your confidence and dental health, but you don\u2019t have to live with the challenges created by an incomplete smile. You can enjoy the next best thing to your real teeth with dental implants<\/a>. Your first step will involve your dental implant consultation. Here are 4 questions you\u2019ll want to ask to ensure you\u2019re making the right decision for your smile.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. How are Dental Implants Different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional prosthetics only recreate the portions of lost teeth above the gum line; however, dental implants go a step further to replicate both the roots and crowns. A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone to mimic a root. A custom-made restoration is attached to the post using an abutment. Dental implants can treat a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch. If you are missing more than one, each tooth isn\u2019t replaced individually. Instead, dental implants can anchor a bridge or denture in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. How Long Do Dental Implants Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are the most reliable method for treating tooth loss. They have over a 95% success rate to last for 30 years or longer with the proper aftercare. Various factors affect their lifespan, like your oral health and lifestyle habits. Your new smile can last for a lifetime by brushing, flossing, and using an antimicrobial mouthrinse. Don\u2019t forget to visit your dentist at least every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Do You Have Training in Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are a big investment. You don\u2019t want to trust your new smile to just anyone. Take the time to learn more about the dentist\u2019s training and qualifications, as well as if they can perform the entire process in-house. With the right implant dentist by your side, you can feel confident your smile is in good hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s not a flat rate for dental implants because every situation is different. Several factors affect the amount you\u2019ll pay, such as the number of teeth you\u2019re treating. Your dentist will provide you with a personalized estimate and discuss your payment options. You might have heard dental implants are expensive, but they are more affordable than you might realize. Since the process occurs in several steps, you don\u2019t have to pay the entire amount upfront. You can also use your dental insurance to offset the cost of certain steps in your plan, like the consultation or restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t settle for anything less than the best. Your dentist will explain everything you need to know during your dental implant consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
