Fast, reliable dental implant solutions in Delta
Dental implants are prosthetic teeth connected to an artificial tooth root made of titanium metal. The tooth looks and feels natural and the root is implanted directly into the jawbone. Dental implants can be used to replace one, some, or all of your teeth. They are securely anchored and feel just like natural teeth which is why many people find implants to be the best tooth replacement option.
Are Dental Implants Right for Me?
You will need to consult your dentist and have them examine your mouth to determine whether dental implants are right for you. Generally speaking as long as you are in good overall health and your jaw bone is not deteriorated, you are likely a good candidate for dental implants. Sometimes, after a tooth has been missing for a long time, your jawbone in that spot will lose density and will not be able to hold a tooth implant. In this case, your dental implant dentist may recommend a bone graft to make your jawbone strong enough for a tooth implant.
A tooth implant is appropriate for those who only have one tooth missing, those who need a full set of replacement teeth, and everyone in between. Dental implant dentures (dentures that are fixed in place by at least two implants) are a popular choice for patients who need complete dentures but want something that feels and functions more like natural teeth than traditional dentures.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
First, your dentist will do a full examination of your mouth and take X-rays to determine whether or not dental implants are the right choice for you. Dental implant surgery is usually done in multiple stages in order to allow for healing in between steps, although sometimes the first two stages of surgery are completed in one appointment, depending on the state of your jawbone and overall oral health.

Dental Implant Cost
Like any dental procedure, your tooth implant cost is variable depending on multiple factors such as insurance plans and the extent of work a patient needs done—for example, full dental implants cost a lot more than just one tooth implant.
Your dental implant cost can be high and not necessarily covered by insurance, but it is a one-time fee, unlike other tooth removal and replacement options which can require multiple expensive maintenance appointments that add up to be as much or more than dental implant costs in the long term.
