dental implants - one tooth at a time or both at once?
I lost two teeth on my low left side. My question is that what are the pros and cons to either have two implants at once or do one at a time. What are the considerations? Thanks in advance!
Re: dental implants - one tooth at a time or both at once?
If you have them done both at the same time you will limit the procedure itself and sedation, anxiety and post surgical discomfort to a one time occurrence although it will require that you be in the chair and sedated a bit longer - but not by much. If the teeth are next to each other and you are having temp crowns placed it would save time if these were done at the same time as well. I can't think of any pros or cons - other than the whole issue of going through it again - of having them done individually.
Re: dental implants - one tooth at a time or both at once?
I had both done at once (in my case, 2 molars on either side on the top). Would highly recommend it. No price break on the implants themselves, but it had to be cheaper (definitely more convenient) to go under the anaesthetic only once and get them both implanted. I had very little pain afterwards.
Re: dental implants - one tooth at a time or both at once?
I have 2 molars on the same side. So definitely I should do both at the same time. I just have to put enough money in my flexible account to cover this. I called my dentist office this morning to get an estimate but they said I have to have an appointment first. I don't know if the price varies a lot or is pretty standard. Does it pay for shopping around for the price? I live in Chicago area.
