IMPLANTS

✔️ 3-6 months to complete procedure

✔️ Expected to last a lifetime

✔️ A dental implant replaces the tooth structure with a titanium post.

✔️ Promote healing of bone structures and gums under the teeth

✋ May require bone grafting if bone loss is present

.

DENTAL BRIDGE

✔️ 2-3 weeks to complete

✔️ Don’t require bone grafting if bone loss is present

❗ Two teeth on opposite sides of a gap are shaved down to accommodate a bridge

❗ Rarely is expected to last a lifetime due to strain placed on adjacent teeth

❗ Bone loss will continue to advance since there is no tooth structure to support it

✋Missing tooth clause may apply if tooth was lost prior to obtaining insurance. Therefore 0% will be paid
