Can Dental Implants Help Someone Who is Missing Just One Tooth?

Dental Implants can replace one tooth or many teeth.  Many patients come in to have just one missing tooth replaced.  A missing tooth in the back of the mouth can lead to problems with other teeth shifting as well as an improper bite.  By replacing a missing tooth, natural function is restored.

When the missing tooth is in the front of the mouth, replacing that tooth has the added advantage of restoring a person’s smile.  Dental implants look and function like natural teeth.  In fact, when someone has one missing tooth replaced with a dental implant, the result is so natural that the implant tooth mimics the appearance of the natural teeth.

Dental Implants Replace Failing Teeth

Dental implants are often used to replace missing teeth, but they are also a wonderful option for patients with failing teeth.  Many people have teeth that are no longer healthy or functional.  They know that these teeth have to be replaced and they are looking for alternatives.  Replacing failing teeth with dental implants is often an excellent choice.

TeethToday specialists can remove failing teeth and replace them with dental implants and give patients not only a wonderful smile, but also new teeth that look and function just like healthy, natural teeth.

People who have their failing teeth replaced with dental implants are often amazed by their new teeth and smile.  The biggest regret from these patients is that they wish they had taken advantage of dental implant treatment sooner.

Dental Implants are a Great Value

Patients often have questions about the cost of dental implants.  Many factors affect cost:  the patient’s overall health and dental needs, the amount and quality of of bone available, and of course how many teeth are missing and need to be replaced.  There are also different implant options, such as creating a denture that is secured by dental implants.

At the time of your free TeethToday consultation, you should discuss options with the doctor and the treatment coordinator.  Whichever option you choose, keep in mind that dental implants are a great value for the dollar.  For many patients, they are definitive solution, because implants can last from thirty years to a lifetime.

Dental Implants are an Investment

If you buy a new car, what do you have in five years?  You have an old car that has lost much of its value.  In ten years, that same car may be very costly to maintain and it will be worth only a fraction of its purchase price.  With dental implants, you make the investment once and enjoy quality of life improvements for decades.  There are options regarding the initial cost of dental implants, but in all cases they provide a substantial value.

Dental Implants or Implant Dentistry?

What's the Difference Between Dental Implants and Implant Dentistry?

"Dental implants" is a widely used term but many doctors also use the term, "implant dentistry." What's the difference?

What's a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are by definition artificial tooth roots that are placed below the gum line to support restorations that take the place of one or more teeth.  Over the years, the term “dental implant” has expanded to include not only the artificial tooth root, but the restoration.  When someone says, “I have dental implants,” they usually mean implant-supported restorations, not just the implants themselves.

What's Implant Dentistry?

The term “implant dentistry” is broader and more descriptive, because it covers the entire discipline of dentistry related to replacing missing teeth with implant supported restorations.  The discipline of implant dentistry includes diagnosis, treatment planning, the surgical and restorative phases of dental implant treatment, and follow up.

The bottom line is that “implant dentistry” is more comprehensive, but the phrase “dental implants” is commonly understood as a shorthand for dental implant treatment.

Cost of Dental Implants

Dental implants can vary in cost. Many patients have questions about the cost of dental implants.  To determine the fee for a specific case, the doctor must first take careful records, including x-rays and a complete health history, and develop a customized treatment plan.

At TeethToday, all patients receive a free consultation exam that includes a free dental x-ray.  The purpose of the consultation exam is to allow patients to come to the office, spend time with the treatment coordinator, meet the doctor, and leave with an understanding of their dental needs and a range of fees specific to their case.

After the consultation exam, patients are invited to return for a complete dental examination.  There is usually a fee for that second, diagnostic examination, but that fee is applied to the dental implant cost of treatment.

TeethToday offices provide patients with a variety of payment options to help make dental implant treatment affordable.  Before any treatment begins, patients have the opportunity to ask questions and choose from a number of payment plans, including some with either no interest or low interest for a period of time.
