Dental Implants in Harrisonburg, VA - Why Should I Replace A Missing Tooth?
- When a tooth falls out, the surrounding bone will atrophy.
- Remaining teeth are then supported by a weakened jaw.
- The remaining teeth then must do extra work and may shift.
- The remaining teeth may then be lost.
Factors Affecting Dental Implant Cost in Harrisonburg, VA
Before any implants can be placed, the Shenandoah Valley Implant Institute doctors will need to spend time analyzing your jaw bone to determine the exact best location for each implant. This means that the more implants you need, the greater amount of time spent plotting locations. In addition, extra materials needed to complete your procedure will increase the overall cost of dental implants.
There are several types of dental implants available for different needs and budgets. A patient receiving a single implant is likely to pay less than a patient having full mouth implant supported dentures placed. In some cases, a tooth extraction may first be necessary to make room for the prosthetic. This will also influence the cost.
Bone loss can occur when a patient has been without natural teeth due to a tooth extraction for a year or longer. In some cases, a bone graft may be necessary so that the implants have adequate support. This will also influence the overall price of dental implants in Harrisonburg, VA.
The doctors at Shenandoah Valley Implant Institute will need to examine your teeth and gums to make sure that you are in adequate health to support dental implants. If there is any trace of gum disease present, you may need to undergo gum disease treatment before moving forward.
If your teeth have been damaged by injury or disease, they may need to be extracted and replaced. In some cases, a tooth extraction may be necessary to make room for your prosthetic device. The cost of extraction is likely to affect the overall cost of implants.
