Q&A: Dental Implant Questions?

Q&A: Dental Implant Questions?

Is it cheaper to have tooth extracted, place an implant immediately than
to have a it extracted, place a bone in it, seal the gum and then have the tooth implant later on?
yes place a synthetic bone in the hole to preclude the gum from collapsing.

Answer by Skeeter
Sorry I don’t know your question. Place a bone in it? Do you mean bone grafts? They do not do bone grafts unless you are gone bone. So of course the less expensive route would to just have the tooth pulled. Though once the tooth is gone then the bone will commence to deteriorate and therefore later on down the road you may have to have bone grafts before getting a dental implant.

What do you reckon? Answer below!

cost dental implant

I have to get 5 teeth extracted, 10cavities removed, root canal correction and a tooth implant. If I do not get the dental work done then I doubtless will not see the age of 40 (I am 25). The total price will be between $ 5000 to $ 8000. I do not have dental insurance and have not gotten a consolutation yet. My biweekly paycheck is $ 769.95. I can try to make my biweekly paycheck $ 950 or more. I cannot afford the New Jersey health insurance because the cheapest insurance in New Jersey is $ 244.50 per month. How do I go about paying for this without help from my parents if possible?

Check with your local university dental school. Most of them have programs everywhere dental work is done by the students with licensed dentists supervising them. The school pays 80% of the bill leaving you with the other 20%.

Question the dentist if they will set up a payment plot for you. I know my dentist does.

Also, you can get the work done in stages. Get the most vital done first and then the rest as you can afford it.

See if you can go to a local dental school to get the work done, or payment plans at your current dental office. They may want a substancial dollar quantity as a down payment. I am an office administrator of a dental practice in WI and for the patients with your situtaion, we do payment plans with a large sum down and specific monthly payments. You should get the work done in stages as well not all at once. Im sure you could spread it out over a year or two. There is also a program in Wisonsin called Care Credit, Its a credit card (you have to have excellent credit though) and you pay the dental office up front and then make monthly payments to the credit card company. GOOD LUCK

At our office, Lakeland Hills Dental, Dr. Joe Jankowski offers a payment plot called, “CareCredit”.

“CareCredit” allows our patients to receive their dental treament and make payments.

We offer two different plans with “CareCredit”, first- interest free plans up to 6 months, the second plot can range from 24 months to 60 months, now with an interst rate of 11.9%. There is no penalty to pre-pay.

We feel that patients need an option of payment in order to receive their treatment to achieve fantastic oral health.

Excellent Luck!
