dental implants.?

Question

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.

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! thank you!

Answer 2

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
