Dental implants..please help!!?

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. approx how much would it cost in the northeast wisconsin area for 6 dental implants? i am willing to do anyting for a beautiful smile!

I had a 1 dental implant 2 months ago. There is no dental coverage on implants. They do a color to match your existing teeth. The procedure is extensive and expensive but worth it.





First you see a periodontist $250.00 to see if your mouth is healthy enough, a cat scan $300.00 of your jaw for perfect placement, you need a appliance for the cat scan $200.00.





Then you have appointment for the surgery $2500.00 - $4000.00 depending on if you need bone or gum grafting. They drill into jaw bone with several different bits and implant post for crown.





You then wear a silver cap for 2 - 3 months until implant is healed enough to accept crown that you get from your dentist $1760.00.





Now waiting for lummineers for that perfect smile.
Reply:I'm not a dentist, but a dental assistant in ohio in the area I work in the patients pay any where from 3500 to 4200/ per tooth. its very expensive coverage or not!! Think huge car loan then that up keep for the rest of your life .. its going to be very costly any way you go.
Reply:I would recommend calling 1-800-dentist and calling a couple of offices and getting in for a free consult and the compare everything. They also have financing and they will let you make monthly payments and there is a place call 211 and you just pick up and dial (for Milwaukee area) and they have free and low-cost clinics that can help. MLK Center off of third and locust has very affordable plans and options to help with teeth problems and help take corrective action.
Reply:have you ever considered porcelain veneers? I have heard that they are not as expensive as implants and can be applied right over existing teeth. You should really meet with a cosmetic dentist and get some ideas of what you can do. You can also find out if you can be put on a payment plan. Look into something called Care Credit. It is specifically made for dental patients. It is credit that can be used at your dentist office (this is not insurance however). I would hate to advise dentures due to your age, but if a cosmetic dentist feels they are best, you might have to go that route.
Reply:AmeriPlan has a cheap monthly dental program that does include implants and all pre-existing conditions (except orthodontic treatment in progress). Specialists are included as well. You can check out providers in your area and the associated fee/discount schedule at www.ReducedCosts.info
Reply:I suggest you look into getting implants. The cost varies. Yes, you can choose any color you want, but be realistic because they cannot change it, unless you want to pay more money. Sometimes before you actually recieve your caps, you will just have screws in place. You can eat normal even without your caps. After the initiall surgery, you should be fine. It's all worth it!!
