Dental Implant vs. Bridge?

by Tamsin Slater

I’ve had a tooth pulled, lower left, one of the large molars. The denstist gave me two options; either a dental implant or a bridge, of course the dental implant cost more. The refer to I was given was Dental Implant: $ 3, 717.90 (Total cost for the entire procedure) Bridge: $ 2,844.00 (Total Cost for whole thing) This includes their 10% discount and I have NO INS. and it’s for only 1 tooth-large morlar in the lower left back). I’ve also heard of CareCredit, is this excellent, do they go by how much you make per year? I have a deep dread of dentist and am very araid of either procedure.

If its at the back of your mouth….I’d stay away from both. No one sees it back there.

If you are only gone one tooth in your mouth – and an invisible one at that, I can’t imagine any reason other than the dentist’s bank balance why he would suggest either an implant or a bridge.
Billions of people go through life gone more than one tooth. Live with it.

You can sign on to AmeriPlan on a month-by-month basis, and your prexisitng condition would be discounted. You can find a provider in your area and also find the associated fee schedule/discount schedule so you will know what you’ll pay. You can check out their website ay www.reducedcosts.info.

Since you have to eat I would get the conundrum flat. your health is worth it.

first remember you lost 4 roots and need a supportive structure to accommodate the load once applied to apply the load to the other teeth is not how much pressure they were made for the best answer is gold only due to the low wear and long term of this material if your a smoker your risk is high it wont inti grate or bond to your bone to commence with if your not i would get the implant also evaluate the 2 roots in front and 4 in back of it all indicates implant excellent luck excellent question, the back teeth behind are putting pressure forwards and you need to also remember the upper teeth all touch the tooth below so not to replace something to the arch will disturb the whole of both arches and time is of your immediate concern.to not react is in my opinion is just a long term disaster that is guaranteed to happen

I had a dental implant placed in May and had no conundrum with it in anticipation of last week when the healing abutment was placed. Now I have a constant terrible taste in my mouth. What could be the produce of this? How can I fix it?? Help!!!

Answer by DR. Implants
Hi
The healing abutment placement is just one part of the whole dental implant procedure.
Eventually the dentist will place the final tooth/abutment and complete the whole process, then you will not feel or taste anything weird.
Now you might be tasting any glue/paste that was used during the abutment placement.
give it a few days – and you you’ll be fine.
i can promise you that when you’re over with everything, you will not even remember you have a dental implant.
excellent luck
