We'd rather connect you with the right provider once than flood your inbox with a dozen you'll never call back.
Implants involve several stages and a real commitment. You get a conversation and an explanation before you commit.
Placing an implant and fitting the new tooth can involve different professionals. You hear who would be involved in yours.
You can ask questions and compare, and nobody pushes you to decide on the spot.
Only a regulated dental professional can tell you, after an examination and usually scans. It can depend on your gum health, the bone in your jaw and your general health. Namoye can't assess that, and doesn't give medical advice.
Provincial health plans generally don't cover dental implants, and most dental care isn't covered either. Some extended health plans pay part of the cost, often with annual limits, waiting periods and exclusions. The Canadian Dental Care Plan may help eligible people without insurance, but it has limits on what it covers. Ask your insurer exactly what it would pay, in writing.
It usually starts with an examination and scans, then a treatment plan. The implant is placed in the jaw, the area heals over time, and a new tooth is fitted on top. Some people need extra work first, such as a bone graft. Ask your provider what applies to you.
It varies with how many teeth, whether you need extra procedures and where you live, and some provinces publish fee guides. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for a written treatment plan that lists every stage and what is included.
Dentists must be registered with the dental regulatory college in their province, such as the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, which keeps a public register you can search. Specialists, such as oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists and prosthodontists, have specialist registration. Ask for the registration number and check it yourself.
Yes, placing an implant is surgery, and some are done by specialists. Ask who will do it, what their training is, and how many they have done, as well as how complications would be managed.
Depending on your situation, options can include a bridge or dentures. A good provider will explain the alternatives and the trade-offs, not only the implant.
Like any procedure, implants carry risks and don't suit everyone. Ask your provider to explain the risks for you, what aftercare is needed, and what happens if something goes wrong.
Spreading the cost can be a credit agreement. Ask for the total you'd repay, the interest rate and any fees, and compare it with paying in stages or a line of credit.
It can be worth it. If you have insurance, ask the provider for a written treatment plan and submit it to your insurer for a pre-determination of benefits, so you know what would be covered before you start.
Raise it with the practice first. If it isn't resolved, you can complain to the dental regulatory college in your province, which investigates complaints about its members.
What you want help with, whether you have extended health coverage, and your postal code. Keep your health history for the provider, not the form. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
