Dental Implants: The answer to your question is best answered by the dentist(s) who are actually treating you and are aware of exactly what they plan for you.

Question 2

does delta network saver cover dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Not here: This is a network of health care professionals around the world who answer general health care questions. Specific insurance questions have to be answered by your insurance provider. Either call ther patient information line, or ask your Dentist. As a health care provider in another country, on the4 other side of the world, I have no information about your insurance coverage.

Question 3

are dental implants good or bad what should i do?

Accepted Answer

The best!: Compared to alternatives such as fixed bridgework, removable dentures or leaving a missing space open, a dental implant is an incredible, long lasting restoration.  Most patients find the procedure very "easy, " especially compared to a tooth extraction. And...When the implant is restored with its crown, it feels almost exactly like your natural tooth.  It's the future of dentistry!

Question 4

i'm wondering what is the process for dental implants?

Accepted Answer

3 simple steps: 1) diagnostic phase, 2) surgical phase ;  3) restorative phase . Diagnostic steps should start with thorough oral examination ; 3-d ct scan. Surgical step is designed according to restorative guidelines using ct scan.  The final stage (restorative phase) could be completed as early as 3- 4 months following the successful integration of implants.

Question 5

is it possible that a cold can affect dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: With implants just placed on top with sinus surgery, you should not blow your nose. In other circumstances there should be no effect.

Question 6

can you get dental implants on nhs and why do they cost so much?

Accepted Answer

NHS: My sister in law had the restorative paid for by the nhs but the implants she paid for out of pocket. It may be on a case by case basis so have your dentist check for you. Implants are expensive because of the cost of the education, materials and equipment needed to place them correctly. Labs charge more for restorations as the implant cases require more time and effort. Pts love the results.

Question 7

i would consider traveling to montreal, canada to lower the cost of three dental implants that my group insurance does not help me with. suggestions?

Question 9

what is the pros and corn of dental implant?

Accepted Answer

They're great: Provide you with the best means of replacing missing teeth, and are the closest Dentistry has come to providing a tooth-like substitute.  As long as your bone/gum tissues are healthy, Implants/crowns are the leading edge restorations.  They must be cared for just like natural teeth (brushing/flossing).  They are expensive, but in the long run worth the cost.
