Cheap dental implants in Arlington, VA

Dental implants come in three main types: single, multiple, and full mouth. Single consists of one implant post and artificial tooth while multiple requires more than one implant post with a partial denture or bridge to connect them. Full mouth involves numerous posts residing beneath a set of custom dentures or bridgework for replacement of all teeth in the maxillary or mandibular arch.

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 do not typically hurt during the procedure as it is done using anesthesia. After the procedure some discomfort and swelling may be experienced, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. It's also possible to experience minor nerve sensation or numbness in or around the implant; this should resolve itself within a few weeks. Although any dental surgery has potential risks, many patients find that their dental implant experience is relatively straightforward with minimal discomfort following the procedure.

Alternatives to dental implants include crowns, bridges, and dentures. Crowns are used to restore a single tooth after it has been damaged or decayed; bridges fill in gaps where teeth have gone missing; dentures replace full sets of teeth either partially or completely. There is also the possibility of using orthodontic treatments such as braces to realign the jaws.
