5 Ways to Lower Your Dental Implant Cost at Plymouth Dentistry!
Curious about dental implants, but are worried about the cost? If so, there’s never been a better time to book a consultation with one of our dental implant dentists in Plymouth, MI. Our team would be more than happy to introduce you to our convenient payment options. Not to mention, we’ll be able to answer questions you may have about dental implant treatment so you can make an informed decision for your smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth root that’s placed in the jaw. Over the course of several months, the titanium-alloy implant fuses with the jawbone and becomes a solid foundation for the abutment and crown we place later.
Our dentists can help you explore different treatment options, from a single-tooth implant to full-arch dental implants.
1. Educate Yourself
Are you considering getting your first ? If so, we encourage you to learn all the steps involved with the dental implant procedure. Also, don’t be shy about asking our dental implant dentists about what you can expect during the process.
By taking the time to educate yourself before your dental implant consultation, you’ll be able to ask better questions and may be able to secure better pricing.
2. Get a Second Opinion
Perhaps your general dentist has referred you to an oral or periodontal surgeon to get the dental implant procedure. Always ask if it is necessary to see the specialist! There are many general dentists (known as implant dentists) that are really proficient at , as well as implant crowns.
Arguably, it is better to get your dental implant placement and crown in the same office. In case you have a problem with your implant down the road, or if you have questions, you know exactly who to call!
Often, you will find that the prices offered by dental implant dentists are significantly better compared to the specialists. It may be well worth your while to get a second opinion from an implant dentist.
3. Eliminate the Extras
Often, surgeons will recommend additional procedures that are “needed” for your dental implant. These include bone grafting, sinus grafting, soft tissue (gum) procedures, etc.
Be sure to ask if these steps are really necessary. Getting a second opinion often helps you eliminate unnecessary steps. Doing this can lead to very significant savings on your overall treatment plan.
Our dental implant dentists at Plymouth Dentistry are great for getting second opinions. They will do everything possible to reduce the cost of your dental implants.
4. Maximize Your Insurance Benefits
A smart dental office will watch out for their patients’ best interest. They will carefully research the patient’s insurance benefits in such a way that they will minimize the patient’s out-of-pocket co-payments. Sometimes they will use the benefits over multiple years to make it even more favorable for the patient.
