All insurance plans are different and have varying degrees of coverage. Most dental benefits packages have an annual max coverage of somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500.

There are some dental insurance plans that will cover the partial cost of dental implants. Medical insurance plans that cover dental implants are becoming more common. We will work with your insurance provider to make sure that the maximum amount of coverage is applied to your implant placement surgery.

Dental implants are the most comprehensive and permanent solution that we have for tooth replacement. Dental implants are usually made of a titanium post that we surgically insert into your jaw bone, which fuses to the bone through a process known as osseointegration. This is a healing process where the bone in your jaw grows around the dental implant and supports it in the same way it once supported your natural teeth. Dental implants can be used to support single tooth restoration, like crowns, or multiple tooth restorations like dental bridges. They can even be used to support full arch solutions like All on 4® and implant supported dentures.

Dental implants play a vital role in restoring health to your mouth. When teeth are lost there is a serious decline in your oral health that will likely lead to further tooth loss. Dental implants are the very best method we have to restore health to your mouth in the long-term. They replace your teeth both in form and function, giving you back the ability to eat and speak as you did before tooth loss.

A typical 2D dental x-ray just focuses on the teeth and needs one exposure per image. To create a 3D image from a typical x-ray, it requires excessive amount of exposures. On the other hand, 3D imaging is a significantly more efficient and accurate than a simple 2D x-ray. This new technology provides a complete visual information from every angle. Additionally, the data can be easily shared and duplicated without the worry of film getting lost.

Unlike the traditional, spiral CT scanner, our 3D system uses cone beam technology to provide crystal-clear and precise digital images. This technology allows us a greater range in our ability to diagnose problems, and it can reduce the need for multiple office visits to find out exactly what is going on in your mouth. Best of all, the system allows us to properly diagnose your oral and facial impairment while exposing you to minimal radiation levels. Our 3D scanner will allow us to select the perfect scanning area or field of view, helping to limit your exposure to radiation since we will be focusing directly on the area of concern.

Our 3D imaging system is essentially a digital x-ray that is mounted to a rotating arm. Similar to a digital camera, the system uses digital technology rather than traditional film to record your images. It’s referred to as cone beam technology because the scanner will project x-rays in the form of a cone-shaped beam. When it is time for your scan, you’ll sit in a chair, and the scanner will move in a circle around your head. After one revolution, the scanner will have gathered all of the necessary data. You don’t need to make any special preparations before your scan. Next, your technician can bring up any view that they need on their computer, whether this is a 2D, 3D, or panoramic view of your whole mouth. Your surgeon will be able to view the images from any angle and use different magnifications to zoom in on problem areas, specifically those with the bones, airways, tissues, nerves, and teeth. This information is essential for evaluating or planning proper treatment.

After the scan, the information will be used to develop a proper treatment plan for your oral or facial issue. We’ll use this technology to easily and quickly share images of the problem area with your referring dentist or physician. This will allow your doctors to work together on your care to deliver a positive treatment experience.
