What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent and appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. They are better than other alternatives like bridges because no additional teeth need to be altered to place the new tooth.
The entire implant process is performed over the course of a few months. The first part of the process is to install the implant itself, where a screw is placed into the jaw bone. An incision is made in the gum so that the implant can be inserted. Multiple implants can be placed at once if necessary. After the implants are placed the gums are sutured.
The implant must be allowed about 3-6 months to heal, and during this time the jaw bone will form around the implant in a process called osseointegration. During this healing time you can have temporary crowns installed so that you can eat and speak normally and maintain a proper aesthetic appearance for your smile.
Dr. Kass will also determine if you require any of the following procedures before the implant process can begin:
- Do you require Bone Grafting?
- Do you require Ridge Preservation?
- Do you require a Sinus Lift?
- Do you require Sinus Augmentation?
Once our dental team completes its thorough evaluation, they schedule your surgical appointment in which small titanium posts are surgically inserted into your gums and jawbone utilizing a local anesthetic. The implants are re-covered and allowed to heal.\
For the next few months, the posts gradually fuse to your gum tissue and bone, ensuring a sturdy base on which your permanent replacement teeth are placed. If the dental implants are in a visible part of your mouth – as in the front – our dentist puts a temporary prosthetic while your customized prosthetics are designed.
Following sufficient healing, your personalized prosthetic teeth are attached to the implants utilizing a small abutment. Now you are free to take advantage all the benefits of your new, shiny, and healthy teeth – eat the food you want and smile and interact with confidence for many years to come.

Patient Before & After
Cost Of Dental Implants
Seeking a dentist who offers affordable dental implants is understandable. But if a lower price or the cheapest possible dental implants is your sole objective, be ready to face the possibility of a dentist who, in the name of an attractive offer, may use suspect-quality implant material and place the implants poorly – causing costly discomfort in the future and harming your oral health.
At the First Dental Implant Center, we feel that the best way you can receive affordable and long-lasting dental implants is to get the procedure done by a skilled and dependable dentist so that you never face the prospect of costly and time-consuming surgical corrections due to a badly-executed implant procedure or poor-quality implant material.
In the long-term, the services of a competent dental practice or dentist are the best way to safeguard your dental health. However, while arriving at the cost of the implant procedure, your dentist will consider specific impacting factors and the additional procedures, if any.
Factors That Impact Cost of Dental Implants

- Density Of Your Bones (Jaws)
- Location of Tooth or Teeth That Need Replacement
- Type of Material Used For Dental Implant

Quality of Procedure And Oral Upkeep Affects Implant Cost Dental implants, if adequately cared, can last for many years, even lifetime. But if they are not appropriately placed or taken care of, implants can cause discomfort and ultimately destroy the remaining bone. In the long run, this deterioration can cost you time and money. So it is vital that you seek a well-qualified, reputed, and experienced dentist with expertise and a good track record in placing dental implants.
Does Insurance Cover Dental Implant Procedure?
