Cheap dental implants in Towson, MD

Dental implants come in three types: single, multiple and full mouth. Single implant is a single artificial tooth placed on an existing dental root in the jawbone. Multiple implants are used to secure bridges when several teeth need replacement while full mouth implants replace all missing teeth.

Dental implants are costly due to several factors, including the high-quality materials used, specialized training and expertise of dental professionals, and the multiple steps involved in the procedure. The titanium implant, custom-made abutment, and porcelain crown contribute to the expense, as well as the need for advanced equipment and imaging technology. Furthermore, the lengthy process of implant placement, healing, and final restoration often requires multiple appointments, driving up the overall price.

To make dental implants more accessible, we can implement several strategies. First, offering flexible payment plans and financing options will ease the financial burden for patients. Second, providing educational resources and consultations can help demystify the process and alleviate concerns. Third, by collaborating with insurance providers to cover a larger portion of implant costs, we can further reduce barriers to treatment.

Dental implants may cause some discomfort during the procedure as anesthesia is used to numb the area and ensure a pain-free experience. The implant site can feel sensitive afterwards, but this should alleviate with time. Rarely, there can be lingering soreness or swelling at the site - if this occurs please contact your dentist immediately.

Alternative treatments for missing teeth may include bridges, dentures and partial dentures. Dental bridges involve anchoring an artificial tooth to your existing teeth with a dental crown on either side. Dentures replace full sets of teeth, while partials fill in the gaps by using false teeth connected to a metal framework or plastic base.
