One big reason patients are concerned is that most dental insurance plans don\u2019t cover the cost of the implant posts or their surgical placement. Luckily, insurance does cover part of the cost of other aspects of implant tooth replacement \u2013 including your new tooth or teeth. In this post, we\u2019ll discuss some ways your dentist can help you to offset the cost of implant supported tooth replacement and why these restorations are worth the investment.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Maximizing Dental Benefits to Make Implant Tooth Replacement Affordable<\/h2>\n<p>While dental insurance doesn\u2019t usually cover the price of your dental implant posts or their placement, your benefits can be applied to other aspects of your treatment plan, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Implant supported replacement crowns, bridges, and dentures usually receive the same percentage of coverage as traditional restorations<\/li>\n<li>When elected, you may receive coverage for dental sedation methods to keep you comfortable during implant placement and other aspects of your treatment plan<\/li>\n<li>Preparatory treatments like tooth extractions and bone or soft tissue grafts are typically covered by insurers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Benefits of Dental Implant Supported Tooth Replacement<\/h2>\n<p>The cost of dental implant restorations may be higher than traditional tooth replacement plans, but the benefits may make the investment worthwhile. Some of the many advantages to receiving an implant supported replacement tooth include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved oral health \u2013 the implant posts mimic tooth roots providing stimulation to keep gums and jawbone tissue healthy<\/li>\n<li>Increased stability \u2013 especially for patients with dentures, the improved support can lead to the ability to eat a wider range of foods and feel more confident while speaking and smiling<\/li>\n<li>Longer lasting \u2013 traditional restorations need to be replaced every five to ten years, but implant supported crowns, bridges, and dentures can last for two decades or longer with proper care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Meet the Canyon Creek Family Dentistry Team<\/h2>\n<p>At Canyon Creek Family Dentistry of Richardson, we offer patients a wide range of tooth replacement options, including implant retained restorations.
