Benefits of Dental Implants Q&A

Dental implants have a long list of cosmetic and health benefits and can be a life-changing procedure for many Americans. On top of the benefits dental implants have on a case-by-case basis they have several advantages over potential alternatives.

Dental implants replace decaying or missing teeth with replacement teeth that look like and feel like the real thing. The restorative procedure gives patients back their smiles and can be a massive boost to their self-confidence as they look and feel better. Aside from the obvious cosmetic benefits, it is not uncommon for health complications to arise as a result of excessive tooth decay. Dental implants eliminate the risk of infection from a decaying tooth. Those with missing or damaged teeth can have difficulty eating comfortably or speaking clearly but that is all gone with dental implants.

Dental implants can be a fairly expensive procedure and costs and insurance coverage will vary on a case-by-case basis.

However, despite a fairly large initial cost dental implants may prove a more cost-effective option than alternatives in the long term thanks to their high durability and longevity. In Norwalk, CT, the average cost of a single dental implant ranges from $2,900 to $8,000, encompassing the implant, abutment, and crown. The procedure boasts a 98% success rate. Alternative solutions, such as dentures or bridges, often require frequent touch-ups or replacements, leading to increased costs over time. Thanks to their durability, many teeth needing replacement can be addressed in a single implant procedure

The other potential limitation between patients and dental implants is pre-existing jawbone or gum health problems. Oral health issues may prevent patients from access to the dental implant procedure. 

For those patients in Norwalk, CT, Daniel Dental Studio can help determine your eligibility for dental implants and work with you and your insurance company to establish coverage and a payment plan to restore your smile.

Patients who wear dentures can switch to dental implants and they may find several benefits in doing so. Patients with dentures can grow frustrated by dentures due to their occasional slipping or the extra time spent cleaning them. Denture slippage can cause difficulty eating or interfere with speaking on rare occasions. Structurally, dentures also don’t offer the same level of support as dental implants which can restore a healthier overall facial appearance.

Dental implants offer the opportunity to permanently restore your smile and provide added health benefits. The permanence of dental implants offers peace of mind that they won’t slip out of place, and they require less maintenance going forward. Notwithstanding any structural jaw issues or other complications, dental implants can be a great option for anyone looking for a change from dentures.
