Will Insurance Cover Implants?

Most basic insurance policies don't cover dental implants. However, most plans do contribute to the cost of restorations (such as dentures) and preparatory procedures such as gum disease treatment and tooth extraction. We accept most major insurance plans, and our knowledgeable staff can help you determine how much your insurance will cover.

If you don't have insurance, our San Antonio office also has an in-house loyalty plan through SmileAdvantage. This program offers routine dental checkups and discounts on our services for an affordable annual fee.

Why You Need to Replace Lost Teeth

Missing teeth are not just a cosmetic problem. Tooth roots play an important role in stimulating regenerative bone growth in the jaw to keep it strong. If the jawbone is left to atrophy, you may face more problems: 

  • Teeth slowly shifting out of position, which causes uneven wear on teeth as your bite changes
  • Loose teeth or further tooth loss as the jaw weakens
  • Facial features that collapse as the jaw recedes, making you look older

The Dental Implant Treatment Timeline A Long-Term Solution to Missing Teeth

Dr. Perry customizes treatment to each patient's needs, but in general, the procedure involves these steps:

If you are concerned about oral surgery, Dr. Perry offers sedation options so you can remain relaxed throughout your treatment.

Consultation

Using digital X-rays and cone-beam scanning technology, Dr. Perry will assess your mouth and discuss your health to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants in San Antonio.

Preparatory Procedures

Some patients need preparatory procedures for successful implant treatment. This can include treating gum disease or performing a bone graft to rebuild lost tissue. These treatments must be undertaken before the implants are placed.

Implant Placement

Dr. Perry often performs extractions and places implants in the same appointment. After teeth have been extracted, Dr. Perry will precisely place your implants using his advanced surgical guides. This ensures the correct positioning of the implant. In most cases, Dr. Perry can provide an immediate temporary restoration so you won't have to leave our office without teeth.

Healing Period

For four to six months, the implant will fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. 

Abutment Placement

An abutment is a connector piece between the implant and your restoration. During a minor surgery, an abutment will be attached to your implant. It will take about two weeks for the gum tissue to heal around the abutment.

Impressions

After the gums have healed around the abutment, Dr. Perry will take impressions of your dental arches so that he can design your permanent custom restoration. Dr. Perry uses only high-quality dental materials and works closely with trusted labs to create restorations that are natural-looking and comfortable.

Restoration

Dr. Perry will check your restoration to ensure a good fit and comfortable bite. If no adjustments are needed, he will attach your new teeth to the implants and you can leave our San Antonio office with a stunning new smile.

Do You Have Questions?

Don't Have Sufficient Jawbone Density? Let Us Improve Your Candidacy for Implants

If you've been missing teeth for a while, compromised bone density may be an obstacle to getting dental implants. Dr. Perry at River City Dental Solutions in San Antonio, TX, has options that make more people eligible for life-changing dental implants.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a procedure that replaces lost tissue in the jawbone to make you eligible for dental implants. Dr. Perry can use biocompatible grafting material or tissue from another part of your body to create the stable foundation needed for implants. Studies have shown that implants placed in grafted tissue have a similar success rate to implants placed in non-grafted tissue.

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are smaller versions of standard dental implants. However, because mini implants are smaller, they do not require as much bone mass to properly fuse with the jaw. Mini dental implants are less invasive, so there is less recovery time. They also typically cost less than traditional implants. Dr. Perry has performed mini dental implant surgery for hundreds of patients.

Dental Implant FAQ

What are the benefits of implants?

Dental implants improve your oral health, overall health, and quality of life. They allow people with missing teeth to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. When you can eat nutritious meals, your entire body benefits. When you can speak and smile with ease, you can welcome new people and opportunities into your life. Meanwhile, implants are the only solution that can stop the jaw atrophy that follows tooth loss.

How do I take care of dental implants?

Brush your teeth and implant-supported restoration twice a day. Floss your teeth once a day. If you have a bridge or denture, you can use a floss threader to clean under your restoration and around your implants. Be sure to follow a good oral hygiene routine to prolong the life of your implants.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, your implants can last the rest of your life, and your implant-supported restoration can last 5-15 years or longer.
