Dental Implants Made Affordable

Having your mouth worked on is very expensive. Many people today are in the unenviable position of being in desperate need of dentistry but unable to afford the expense out of pocket and do not have the luxury of insurance. These people are forced to live in pain and embarrassment because of missing or rotten teeth. These people are in need of a dental implant but do not have the means to afford it. There is, however, a solution.

There are lenders willing to provide personal loans to cover up to $20,000 worth of dentistry. The lender will examine your credit and depending on your eligibility you could receive a loan sufficient to cover several dental implants or at least greatly offset the cost. A typical prosthetic tooth can cost anywhere from $2000 - $8000 and are not usually covered by insurance. Depending on the medical professional you work with, you would be able to restore your smile with a reasonable initial cost to you.

There are a variety of options available for missing teeth but often people choose to go with some sort of denture because of issues of cost. It is true dentures are significantly less expensive than dental implants but they are also less aesthetically fulfilling. Dentures are often made from either porcelain or plastic and as such do not always match well with the remaining natural teeth. Additionally they are more prone to damage and wear than natural teeth. Consequently, they are not a very long-term solution for tooth loss.

Dental implants, on the other hand, are made from the metal titanium. This enables them to be implanted in the bone of the mouth and then have an artificial tooth attached to the metal root. This solution results in a more natural looking smile and a significant increase in durability. Some dental implants can last up to 15 years without needing to be replaced. One of the biggest benefits is that there is a serious increase in functionality over dentures. Because they are anatomically similar to real teeth they will work more like them.

It can be daunting to consider the cost of dentistry but with a loan and an idea of the benefits it could be just a short time before you have the smile you have always wanted or always wanted back. So call your local dentist and get in for a consultation. It could be the best thing you do and is sure to give you something to smile about.
