Cheap dental implants in Oak Park, MI

Dental implants come in three types: single, multiple, and full mouth. Single implant is a titanium post that replaces one missing tooth; with multiple implants, several posts replace two or more teeth; full-mouth implants typically involve four to six screws replacing an entire arch of teeth. Each type requires placement into the jawbone and must be surgically placed for successful integration.

Dental implants are expensive due to several factors, including the high costs of materials, labor, and specialized training required for dentists. Additionally, the lengthy and complex procedure demands precision, which often involves state-of-the-art equipment and multiple appointments. Furthermore, dental insurance coverage for implants can be limited, causing patients to bear a larger portion of the cost, thus contributing to the perception of implants as particularly pricey.

Dental implants are not painful during the procedure - it is done under local anesthesia and most patients don't feel a thing. Afterward, however, you may experience some discomfort as your body adjusts to the implant and inflammation occurs around the area of placement. Painkillers should be taken if needed to ease this temporary reaction.

Alternatives to dental implants include bridges, dentures, and crowns. Bridges involve using teeth adjacent to gaps for support. Dentures are removable false teeth replacements that sit on the gums. Crowns cover existing damaged or decayed tooth structure for a natural look and feel.
