Dental Opinions and Reviews, What can be done if you loose a tooth in an Accident.
If you loose a tooth due to an accident and the tooth is recovered quickly you may have a chance to save the tooth by going straight to a dentist and having it reattached. However if too much time passes between the loss of the tooth and getting the dental care needed saving the tooth may not be an option.
If that happens you will need to think about how you are going to replace the tooth. One way is by having a dental implant. Implants are artificial roots for a tooth that is placed in your mouth and attached to a replacement tooth. They do not rest on other teeth to support the replacement tooth, but rather are rooted into the gums. A dental implant will look just like any of your other teeth and work and function the same.
Dental implants are a great substitute for dentures and bridge work. They are secure, and do not feel or look fake. The only problem is that many dental insurance plans do not provide coverage for dental implants. Therefore cost can become an issue.
If implants works is needed then you may want to buy a dental discount plan. On a dental discount plan you will be able to save money off the cost of having dental implants as long as there is a provider in the plan that does that type of dental services. It is worth looking into when deciding about implant dental work.
