When tooth loss occurs, many patients are unaware of the options available to them for restoring their smile. Drs. Munira Lokhandwala and Maryum Tariq of StarBrite Dental in Fremont, CA are dedicated to helping patients understand the solutions that can be used for replacing one or more teeth within the smile. One common solution is dental implants. For dental implants, a good dentist will provide planning, placement, and restoration under one roof to make it easy to go from start to finish. Our team is pleased to offer all three steps of the process to restore a patient’s smile!
What are dental implants?
The dentists at StarBrite Dental describe dental implants as titanium posts stabilized by the jawbone to replace one or more teeth. The implant itself fuses with the jawbone, and the abutment over the gums can be restored with various methods. Dental implants can hold crowns, bridges, or dentures depending on the needs of the patient.
How much does a dental implant cost?
There are numerous factors that need to be taken into consideration when it comes to quoting the cost of a dental implant. Some patients require preparatory work before they can successfully place an implant, such as bone grafting, to build up lost bone and allow the implant to derive the foundation it needs for stability and function. The method of restoring the dental implant will also be figured into the cost and can cause variations. This is because implants can be covered with crowns, bridges, or dentures. Each of these have their own price points and are often quoted into the final cost. Patients who have dental insurance may also experience a reduced out-of-pocket cost due to coverage and benefits that might be applied by our front office team. We encourage patients to bring their dental insurance cards with them to their appointment so our team can assess benefits that can make restorations such as implants more affordable.
