hi, im 21 years old. and have bad teeth. well i used to. right now i have no insurance, but i have one temp bridge, and two crowns in my upper teeth. the bridge consists of 3 teeth. these are all my 5 upper teeth together. i hate it! they always come loose and i have to go in like every 5 months to get them re cemented on. and i can't afford anything. however, i just got a new job, and i will have dental insurance. im thinking about implants. now i would do my top 6 teeth, since its the two crowns, my real tooth, then the 3 tooth bridge. would this be worth it? even at a young age? i just hate my smile, the bridge is starting to change color, and im so embarassed to smile.
when getting dental implants, can they do any color i would want? how long do i have to wait to start eating normal again? please tell me any expierances you have, and any info you have.

Reply:Hi. I have a dental implant and I tell you what I know. I recieved mine when I was 7 years old for lost origional tooth in an accident and I had it replaced with an implant. I am 38 and still have it but it needs replaced so its safe to say they are very sturdy and last a long time. Now the sad thing is is some insurance companies will not pay for implants because its considered cosmetic. . My insurance is Delta Dental and my plan pays 55% . Make sure you check on what your new insurance covers and does not cover and your annual maximum. Implans are expensive and can cost anywhere from $1,000 to 1500$ before insurance and that is per tooth. If you want to get 6 implants you will want to do one tooth at a time due to the high cost. I also advise to not use all your annual maxium right up from. leave a few hundred for the end of the year for you never know when an emergency comes up and you will need some coverage
