Partial dentures bridges and implants
Can you replace partial dentures with bridges or implants
I have to have a few teeth pulled, the thing is my dental insurance will only cover for partials for missing teeth and not bridges or implants. So saying I get the partial now for what I am covered under but later if I save my money could I get a bridge or implant? Or will it be too late by then?

Well in general speaking turns most dental insurance at this time do not cover for dental implants. Normally dental bridges are covered depending on the type of bridges you may get.
You may need to know that in order to have a bridge you need two good teeth on either side of the gap. So that the dentist has valid teeth to attach a bridge too.
One of the issues you may run into however, would be a missing tooth clause. Some dental insurance will not cover for you to have bridges or even partials once you have missing teeth prior to the plan effective date. Make sure you read the plans limitations and exclusions before buying.
All hope is not lost however. If you can not find a dental insurance plan that will help you with the cost of a bridge or implants. You may want to look into a dental discount plan. They normally do not have any of the aforementioned limitations that dental insurance plans may have. That way you can still help reduce your dental cost by buying a dental discount plan.
