How much do dental implant costs, how long do they take and are there finance options available?

March 22nd, 2013
Q.

I have had both of my upper canines missing for several years (due to a genetic trait that prevented the secondary ones from growing in as a child), and I’m considering implants. What are the pricing options as well as the length of time it would take to perform? Would it be possible to perform both implants at once, or will I have to get one side fixed before the other? Also, since the canines are the ones that are missing, will I be able to get the implants in the same shape as a canine? Lastly, are payment plans available, or is everything due immediately after the procedure? What about insurance coverage? Thanks.

My 12 year old son is soon to lose a tooth, how long should he wait until he can have a dental implant?

October 13th, 2012
Q.

Hi my son had an accident at the age of 6 or 7 a football dislodged one of his front tooth. The dentist we saw made him wear what i would describe as like a protective gum sheild for a while to protect and save it she said, although she did not push it back up into the gum. He is now 12 1/2 and the tooth although not giving him any pain has slowly started to discolour. He went to the dentist yesterday after an appointment with a arthodonist who said that after an xray that he will eventually loose the tooth, but needed a root canal. Obviously this really upset me as he is so young. My own dentist tooth a further xray who then said he did not what to do! He said that when teeth are dislodged they usually reset but this hasnt there is a gap at the top so a root canal cannot be done.And that the tooth is eating away at the root/nerve i cannot remember and this nwill eventually make the tooth loose. If he does loose the tooth, when would he be able to have a dental implant? I. Many thanks
