Q?What is the typical recovery time for an implant?A.Patients vary wildly in their reaction to surgery, and their healing times. These variances can be caused by factors such as: age, immune system, diet, and whether the patient is a smoker or not. However, due to the techniques developed by us.We typically see our patients walk out feeling well, and sporting a temporary crown, within an hour after having the surgery. They usually get their permanent crown in about 3 months.
A. One of the main reasons for the Dental Implant Institute's success, is that we don't have any hidden charges. Every charge is spelled out in advanced. We are an open book, no matter how complicated or straight forward your case is, we will charge the same. We don't need to penalize you for having a complicated case, because we can handle the most complicated of cases for the same price as a simple case. Our patients dont have to look around for prices.
A. A few insurance providers are beginning to cover implant procedures, but usually implant dentistry is considered fee-for-service. Some insurance providers will also cover the cost of preliminary examinations and restorative aspects of the procedure. E-mail [email protected] with questions about what your insurance will cover. In addition, we offer zero percent financing on most procedures that many of our patients benefit from.
