What Counts as a Dental Emergency? (And What to Do)
Knocked-out teeth, swelling and severe pain need care fast. Here is what counts as a dental emergency and what to do until you are seen.
The cost of a dental implant in Oakville depends on how many teeth you are replacing, whether you need any preparation such as an extraction or bone graft, and the type of tooth that goes on top. As a general guide, an implant and crown together can range from about $800 to more than $5,000. The only way to know your cost is a consultation and 3D scan.
A single-tooth implant has three parts, and each is part of the cost:
Many dental insurance plans cover part of implant treatment, such as the crown, or a set amount towards the procedure. Coverage varies a lot between plans. Our front desk can help you check your coverage before treatment starts, so there are no surprises.
Implants are often more expensive at the start than a bridge or a removable denture, but they are cared for like natural teeth and help keep the jawbone healthy where a tooth is missing. When you compare options, think about how long each one is expected to last and what upkeep it needs, not only the first bill.
At Shore Side Dentistry in downtown Oakville, Dr. Peter Taylor plans and restores dental implants in our office, working with Dr. Tina Kokosis, a certified specialist in periodontics. After your consultation and 3D scan, we explain your options and give you the full cost before any treatment begins.
