In today’s day and age, it can feel like life is pulling you—and your wallet—in a million different directions. Car payments, the mortgage, and family birthday parties all add up, so it can be difficult to make the time and money for all of them. Unfortunately, this busy life often makes you put your oral health on the back burner. However, At Brent Bradford, DDS, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between financial stability and health! When you feel life-changing treatments like dental implants are out of reach, we provide flexible financing options to help you afford them! These affordable plans help take some of the financial burden off of your shoulders, allowing you to restore your smile without breaking the bank.
How Does Financing for Dental Implants Work?
Our financing plans allow you to pay for your treatments with manageable monthly payments. While you’re still paying for the procedure, you can split up the costs, relieving some of your financial pressure.
At your free implant consultation, Dr. Bradford will discuss your goals and formulate a custom plan that fits your needs. Using a 3D digital scan of your mouth, he will determine your bone quality, eligibility for dental implants, and which implant to use. Additionally, he will break down the costs of your procedure and lay out your payment options.
While Brent Bradford, DDS, works with insurance providers, your plan’s not guaranteed to cover dental implants. In fact, most insurance agencies see dental implants as cosmetic, not providing any coverage for the procedure. However, if your procedure is deemed medically necessary, they may cover a portion of it.
If your insurance plan won’t cover your dental implant procedure, that is where financing comes into play. Dr. Bradford partners with various third-party financing companies designed to help patients like you afford their treatments! We’ll discuss the best plan for your situation and help you through the application process. With no hidden fees or upfront costs, you can count on our flexible financing options to help you restore your smile affordably!
Why Invest In Your Smile With Dental Implants?
When life is pulling you in a million directions, it’s difficult to know where your priorities should be. Often, missing teeth go ignored, and oral hygiene takes a backseat to more pressing matters.
Unfortunately, when it comes to your oral health, inaction is action. As it turns out, tooth loss does much more than just make it difficult to eat or speak. Missing teeth actually have a profound impact on the health of your jawbone, resulting in unfortunate consequences.
When you lose a tooth, you lose the stimulation your natural tooth root provided your jawbone as you chewed. Without stimulation, your jawbone will shrink, losing mass and volume over time. Bone resorption can result in excessive wrinkling around the lips, sunken cheeks, and even a change in facial structure! While most of the bone loss occurs in the first 6 months after losing a tooth, it continues at a rate of about 1% annually, slowly affecting your jaw structure.
Dental implants, however, stop bone resorption! These titanium posts act as artificial tooth roots, stimulating your jawbone when you bite or chew. This keeps your bone healthy and full but cannot replenish lost bone structure, so prompt care is important. The more bone structure you lose, the more difficult it is to restore your smile with dental implants.
The Mini Implant Difference
At Brent Bradford, DDS, we prefer to use mini dental implants whenever possible due to their incredible advantages. These include:
Narrow diameter: Mini implants are less than 3 mm in width, about half the size of a traditional implant. Their smaller size allows Dr. Bradford to place mini implants for patients who have less available bone structure due to bone resorption. Those ineligible for traditional implant procedures are often still eligible for mini implants without additional procedures to replenish bone!- One-piece design: These narrow-diameter implants also have a sleek, single-piece design that allows Dr. Bradford to place them in a single appointment. This not only saves you money, but it also lowers your risk of peri-implantitis as your implant doesn’t have additional components.
- Minimally invasive: The process for placing these implants is minimally invasive, as Dr. Bradford doesn’t use an incision, allowing for faster healing. With only a small pilot hole through the gums and jawbone, he will place your mini implant where it becomes instantly stable enough to support a temporary restoration!
Additionally, these benefits make mini implants more affordable than traditional implants! With fewer components, appointments, and no additional procedures, mini dental implants are an effective solution to tooth loss that saves you money in the process!
