The fee for tooth replacement with dental implants depends on several factors, including the number of teeth being replaced and the number of dental implants required to support your replacement teeth. Some additional procedures may be required before the placement of your dental implants to ensure the long-term health of your dental implants. To obtain a specific fee estimate, schedule an examination at one of our Kingsport or Johnson City locations. After a thorough diagnostic examination, your dentist will recommend the best treatment for you.
Today, state-of-the-art guided surgical techniques are convenient alternatives to placing dental implants and allow you to have the dental implant placed in a single session.
It will take three to six months for the implant to heal and integrate with your jawbone after the dentist places the implant. You are given a temporary prosthesis during the healing period until the permanent crown is placed.
The procedure chosen depends on several factors, such as dental health, the number of teeth involved, and which teeth are replaced. These factors will also determine the total number of visits to the dentist throughout the treatment period.
Dental implant-supported replacement teeth look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat whatever you choose. But most importantly, dental implants often improve the quality of life. People who have felt embarrassed and worried because of their tooth problems are often overwhelmed by what new permanent teeth can do for their self-esteem.
Your new teeth must be cared for and checked regularly, just like your natural teeth. Brush and floss as recommended by your dentist or dental hygienist. See your dentist in six months or more frequently if so advised.
Having some bruising and swelling in the gum and soft tissues is normal. But usually, the discomfort, if any, is treated with an ordinary painkiller. You should be able to work the next day.
With any surgery, there can be some discomfort. Placing one implant typically causes less discomfort than placing several. Anesthesia and patient sedation are commonly administered to help reduce any discomfort during the dental implant process. Most patients report that they were much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated. Your doctor will prescribe medications to ease any discomfort that may occur. You can also ask your dentist to recommend another patient who has already had tooth replacement therapy to assess their personal experience.
Occasionally, older patients express concern that their age may prevent them from enjoying dental implant benefits. However, health is more of a determining factor than age. If you're healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you're probably healthy enough to receive dental implants. Certain chronic diseases may contraindicate dental implant treatment. Your dentist will determine if you are a candidate for dental implants after carefully evaluating your dental and health history.
Dental Implants are a permanent solution and will last a lifetime. There are no loose parts and the implants are stable and comfortable. They also help improve your appearance by stopping bone shrinkage while preserving your natural teeth.
Anyone missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease, or tooth decay may qualify for dental implants. Your dentist will evaluate your oral and overall health to determine whether dental implants are an option for you.
There are several reasons you should consider a dental implant. Without the root structure of a natural tooth present, the jawbone can shrink. This shrinkage will make your face look older prematurely. There are no loose parts to worry about losing. The dental implant is stable and comfortable. No adjustment is needed after placement. Dental implants can last a lifetime.
Yes. Following a brief adaptation period, chewing capacity is comparable to natural teeth.
