How about the last time you munched on some delicious crunchy chips? If you\u2019re missing one of more teeth, the answer is probably \u201ctoo long ago.\u201d You\u2019ve been interested in solving this problem with dental implants, but you\u2019ve heard that they\u2019re very expensive. You\u2019re right, but they are well-worth the cost to have your life back after tooth loss. Let\u2019s talk more about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/contact.html\">dental implants<\/a> in Massapequa are worth the investment.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>A dental implant is a metal post that is inserted directly into the jawbone through surgery. The post is made of titanium, so the body will not reject it. In fact, over a period of three to six months, the implant will actually fuse with the jawbone so it will basically become a part of you. Once this healing process is complete, your dentist will attach another metal post called an abutment to the top of your implant. This will allow him or her to place a crown, or an artificial tooth, meaning your implant will now look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth.<\/p>\n<h2>How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?<\/h2>\n<p>Implants are unfortunately one of the most expensive dental procedures. Insurance typically covers little or none of the cost. However, each plan is different, so be sure to ask your insurance company about coverage. Remember, implants are a huge investment in your health, so spending money on them is definitely worth it.<\/p>\n<h2>Are Dental Implants Worth the Investment?<\/h2>\n<p>Compared to other tooth replacement methods like dentures and bridges, implants cost a lot more up front. However, implants are designed to last for several decades, even the rest of your life. Bridges and dentures need to be replaced every few years, which can quickly rack up costs. Although you might pay more at first for implants, you will end up saving more money down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Dental implants restore not only your missing teeth, but your oral health too. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone is no longer stimulated by the tooth root through chewing. The bone then begins to shrink from disuse, making that part of your face sag. By investing in your mouth with dental implants, you can keep looking young for much, much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Although dental implants might cost a lot, having a healthy, beautiful smile is truly priceless. If you are interested in getting your smile and your life back, see your dentist in Massapequa today.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Practice<\/h2>\n<p>At South Shore Dental Care in Massapequa Park, NY, husband-and-wife team Drs.
