Dr. Mulkey offers several restorative procedures for tooth replacement, including dental implants and implant secured dentures.
Replacing lost teeth as soon as possible is important for your long term dental health. Once a tooth is lost, the body immediately starts to make changes to the bone where the tooth used to be. Over time, the jaw bone shrinks and thins. If you don’t take appropriate action in the proper time frame, you could find yourself in a situation where an implant isn’t possible without considerably more expense.
Dr. Mulkey or one of his associates will perform a thorough examination to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants. Not everyone is qualified for dental implants. Patients need to be generally in good health, with healthy gums and sufficient bone in the jaw to support the implants. We offer alternative options for those who are not considered a good candidate, including cosmetic dentures and bridges.
Dental Implant FAQs
What is a dental implant and how does it work?
A dental implant is a bio-compatible titanium post that is surgically implanted into the jaw bone, replacing the root of a missing tooth. When fully integrated with the bone, the dental implant will provide stability and support for a replacement tooth. A dental implant can be used to support a dental crown for a single missing tooth or a denture to replace all of your missing teeth.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants is determined by the number and location of implants, as well as your overall dental health. Dr. Mulkey will review all of your options as well as the cost of procedures prior to treatment. Most dental implant procedures are not covered by insurance, however, we will submit the necessary billing and documentation to your insurance company to allow for the maximum reimbursement.
