Dental implant, also known as tooth implants, are considered a strong, long-lasting treatment option for patients with lost or missing teeth. Though some dentists must refer patients to an oral surgeon for this procedure, Dr. Frey is recognized as a top Beverly Hills implant dentist. Below, Dr. Frey answers some of the most common questions about dental implants and high-quality porcelain crowns.
The primary risk of dental implants is the bone not adhering to the implant or fake root that was placed in the bone. An experienced dentist takes every precaution to minimize the chances of this happening, such as building up the jawbone if necessary and placing implants at the precise depth for maximum integration.
There are certain factors that could increase the risk of implant failure. These include bacterial infection, which could happen at the time of placement. Patients need to take antibiotics after placement. . The rate of implant failure is approximately 5% or less.
There are no nerves in the bone, and many of our patients do not experience post-operative discomfort. In most instances, dental implant procedures can be performed with a local anesthetic; however, Our practice offers different levels of sedation dentistry. If you’re concerned about post-operative discomfort, PWS will almost always prescribe pain medication.
It’s important to follow the written instructions, which PWS will provide, to ensure that your implants heal quickly and properly.
At this time, most insurance providers do not cover the cost of dental implants. We encourage patients to contact their insurance company directly to inquire about their coverage. Some companies extend benefits for certain aspects of the procedure. For example, a patient may be responsible for the implant posts and surgery costs but may have coverage for the crown, bridge, or denture that will be seated on the implant or implants.
For more information about the dental implant cost in Beverly Hills, contact us or your insurance provider.
Typically, we do not expect to replace dental implants that have integrated successfully into the jawbone. Osseointegration is the process of bone healing and surrounding the implant posts with healthy bone. After that point, chewing sends vibrations through the implant just as this action would with natural roots.
These vibrations reverberate into the jawbone, stimulating bone regeneration. With this process occurring as it should, dental implants should remain intact and functional for many years. Bone loss is always a concern.
