Everything You Should Know"},"content":{"rendered":"

People can lose teeth for various reasons, including infection, decay, trauma, and fractures. One solution to replace a missing tooth \u2014 or several missing teeth \u2014 is with dental implants.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While dental implants are a high-quality and long-lasting solution, they can also be a financial burden. For instance, the average cost of a single implant is around $2,440, while a full or partial set of implants can range anywhere from $20,000 to $45,000. What\u2019s also challenging is that the dental implant procedure is often considered cosmetic, meaning many dental insurance carriers won\u2019t cover it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, dental implants can be more affordable when you join a dental savings plan, an affordable alternative to dental insurance. Keep reading to learn more about dental implants and how a dental savings plan can help mitigate the cost of this procedure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Dental Implants?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

A dental implant is a metal, screw-like post that a surgeon fuses to the jawbone, replacing the tooth\u2019s natural root. Dental implants provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that are made to look and feel like your natural teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are the Three Types of Dental Implants?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here are three types of dental implants you can choose from:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Single Implant\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

A single implant \u2014 also known as an endosteal implant \u2014 consists of the implant itself, the abutment, and the crown. First, the dental implant is fused into your jaw under the gumline. Then, a device called the abutment is placed on top of the dental implant. Finally, a custom-made crown \u2014 or the replacement tooth \u2014 connects to the abutment, completing the dental implant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Dental Bridge\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you have several missing teeth next to each other, your best option might be a dental bridge. A dental bridge usually comprises two crowns on either side of the gap \u2014 i.e., abutment teeth \u2014 with an artificial tooth or teeth in between. The two crowns are fused to dental implants, while the teeth missing in between aren\u2019t connected to implants. Once the bridge is complete, it can help restore your bite, maintain the shape of your face, and prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An Implant-Detained Denture\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re missing most of your top or lower teeth, you may want to consider implant-detained dentures. Dentures rest on your gum line and give you the appearance of a complete set of teeth. Traditional dentures are removable, meaning they can slip, slide, and fall out of your mouth. To fix this problem, you can surgically fuse your dentures to your gum line with implants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
