As much as we want to maintain our natural teeth, trauma, illness, or poor oral hygiene can lead to the loss of teeth. Missing teeth detract from a beautiful smile and can lead patients to stop smiling. Located in Mississauga, ON, Dr. Rina Raichada of Dentistry on 10 offers tooth implant procedures to restore patients’ smiles.
Made of titanium or zirconia, dental implants are posts that are surgically placed into the jaw. A connector, or abutment, is attached to the implant and a crown is placed on top. The end result appears to be a natural tooth. The implant and crown are strong, durable, and able to function as a natural tooth.
Cost of dental implants
When it comes to dental care, patients often worry about the overall price of their procedures. Although dental implants may cost more at first, they are durable and long lasting. Because they are inserted into the jawbone, implants are secure and provide a level of stability not found in other dental restorations. This restores and maintains the health of the bone as well. With dental implants there is less of a chance of needing additional serious dental work. If the cost of your dental work is still a concern, contact your insurance company to find out if your procedure is a covered expense.
Cost effective benefits of implants
There are numerous benefits of tooth implants that contribute to their cost effectiveness. The advantages include the following:
- Dental implants mimic a tooth root and stimulate the jawbone. They maintain the health of the bone and protect overall oral health.
- Implants are sturdy. Dental restorations function as and withstand the same pressures as natural teeth.
- With good oral hygiene practices, dental implants are preserved and remain healthy for a lifetime. This makes them highly successful restorations.
- Instead of having a gap from a missing tooth, an implant topped with a crown appears to be a natural tooth.
