When it comes to dental implants in San Jose, your first point of contact should be the caring and trusted team at Pannu Dental Group. Choose full mouth dental implants for a lifetimes of confident smiles. Make sure your dental specialist performs the procedure with precision.
Before your initial consultation with Pannu Dental Group, take a moment to learn more about teeth implant solutions (as opposed to dentures or bridges), and how this common dental procedure can be truly life changing.
What Are Permanent Teeth Implants?
Dental implants are a common procedure and solution for multiple missing teeth or teeth that are severely damaged and at risk of further deterioration.
In a dental implant procedure, small titanium posts are inserted into the jawbone to act as tooth roots and the foundation for the new set of teeth. After the titanium posts heal and fuse with your jawbone, your dentist attaches the permanent teeth. Then, your dentist attaches the permanent teeth made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia.
The entire procedure can typically be conducted in just two office visits. Therefore, once your dental implants have been affixed, you will work out of the dentist’s office with a newfound ability to chew and speak naturally, coupled with a brilliant new smile.
Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Implants?
Your San Jose dental implant specialist will thoroughly examine you to determine if you are a great candidate for permanent teeth implants. However, the following considerations apply when it comes to dental implants.
- You generally have good oral health. This means you don’t have underlying diseases or other issues, like severe gum disease, which can hinder the healing process.
- You have healthy gums and adequate bone density. Healthy gums and a solid jawbone are necessary to ensure that the titanium posts that support the dental implants can be held in place.
- You don’t have severe habits like teeth grinding or clenching. These unintentional habits can put pressure on implants and can potentially cause long-term damage.
- Your medications don’t interfere with dental implants. However, some medications, like steroids or drugs that impact on the immune system, may cause issues with dental implant surgery.
- You are committed to oral hygiene. Just like your natural teeth, dental implants work best when you brush and floss your teeth daily and make regular check-up visits to the dentist’s office.
Full Mouth Teeth Implants – A Life Changing Option
There is a world of benefits to full mouth dental implants as a permanent solution. A handful of these benefits, which you’ll enjoy almost immediately after the procedure, include the following.
- Restores your entire smile. With just a few strategically placed titanium posts and custom-created implants, you’ll have a perfect new smile as soon as the procedure is complete.
- Improves your ability to enjoy everyday activities. From a newfound ability to eat all varieties of food to better speech and an improved appearance, dental implants can boost your confidence and your everyday life.
- No maintenance is required beyond the basics. Dental implants are truly life-changing because they are designed to look and function just like regular teeth. Besides the basics like brushing and flossing, no additional long-term maintenance or special care is required.
How Much Does a Set of Teeth Implants Cost?
Permanent replacement teeth can cost anywhere between $3,000 to $10,000 for a single implant and $15,000-20,000 or more for a full mouth permanent teeth replacement treatment. However, this is all just an estimated cost.
There are several factors that determine the cost of dental implants, which include the following.
- Type of implants – There are varying options for dental implants, like all-on-four dental implants, which use just four posts to secure the artificial teeth.
- Additional treatments – If you require additional procedures to ensure your mouth can support dental implants, like bone grafting or tooth extraction, this may increase the cost of the dental implant procedure.
- Type of implant material– Different materials can have variations in cost, like titanium, zirconia, porcelain, or ceramic.
Choosing Teeth Implants Means Long-Term Savings
Remember that dental insurance may cover a portion or all of the cost of dental implant treatment. Therefore, experienced dental practices like Pannu Dental Group can offer custom and individualized payment plans as needed to ensure you get the dental treatment you need without breaking your budget.
Also, remember that while temporary solutions like dentures or bridges are obviously less expensive initially, these solutions are recurring costs. This means that over the course of a lifetime, a permanent solution like dental implants ends up being more cost-effective in the long run.
Why Choose Teeth Implants Over Dentures or Bridges?
In the simplest terms, dental implants have the following advantages over temporary treatments for missing and damaged teeth, like dentures or bridges.
- Implants are permanent and improve your health by preventing bone loss and further damage to existing teeth.
- Bridges may require grinding down your healthy teeth or other permanent alterations. Dental implants have no impact on your remaining natural teeth and can even make them stronger and more secure.
- Dentures can slip, require adhesives, and need replacing more often, which makes them a dental treatment that requires constant attention and maintenance. Dental implants are permanent and stress-free and simply look and function like your natural teeth.
