Getting new teeth implants may be the best options for those who have lost teeth due to accidents or some other dental problem. You will have to talk to your dentist about the possibility of having new teeth implants done. This is going to be a procedure that can cost a good deal of money and can require anesthesia, so you should talk to your dentist, your insurance company and your place of work to be sure everyone is in agreement about the procedure.
If you are going to get the procedure done are your general dentist, you will probably find that it doesn't require general anesthesia (putting you to sleep completely). If you go to a specialist, you may have to be put under general anesthesia, which would require another specialist. This will add to the expense of the procedure, so keep this in mind when considering new teeth implants.
After you have found out that you need new teeth implants, you should look into the cost of the procedure. The cost will range from one thousand five hundred dollars and three thousand dollars. This is just a general range and doesn't necessarily contain all new teeth implants. The doctor who will be doing the procedure can only determine the actual cost. After you find the doctor that will do your new teeth implants, take the time to talk to your dentist about the cost of the procedure. This will give you time to talk to the insurance company and set a budget as to how much you can afford for the project. This will be important, so you don't add to the stress of getting dental surgery with money issues. This can be very stressful, so keep this in mind as you prepare for the procedure and get the finances straight.
Once you have the amount the new implants will cost, you will have to call you dental insurance company to see what will be covered. You can call the insurance company yourself, but be aware that insurance companies use words that aren't used in everyday language. If you don't want to get confused and don't want to be taken advantage of, you may want to let your dentist's office call the insurance company. They should be able to tell you if you are covered for new teeth implants and for how much. This is going to be the best choice for most people, since it requires the least knowledge about insurance.
The insurance company will most likely cover either on a percentage basis or a set amount basis. Either way, you will most likely have to pay something after they pay. For this reason, you should set a budget to see how much you can afford to pay. After doing this, you should be able to talk to your dentist to see if you can set a payment plan up or negotiate a cheaper rate for the procedure. Either way, your dentist should be willing to work with you!
