The usual steps

What getting a dental implant typically involves

Your own provider will tell you which steps apply to you, and how long each may take.

01

Consultation and exam

A dental professional looks at your mouth and your history and talks through what you want.

02

Imaging and planning

X-rays or scans are used to plan where an implant could go.

03

Preparation, if needed

Some people need other work first, such as treating gum disease or building up bone.

04

Placing the implant

A small post is placed in the jaw. The details depend on your case.

05

Healing

The area needs time to heal. How long varies from person to person.

06

Fitting the new tooth

Once healed, the new tooth, bridge or denture is attached.

Options to compare

Ways implants can be used, and what else to consider

01

A single implant

Replacing one missing tooth.

02

Several implants

Replacing more than one tooth, sometimes with a bridge supported by implants.

03

Implant-supported dentures

Dentures held in place by implants rather than sitting on the gums.

04

Bone grafting or a sinus lift

Extra procedures that some people need before an implant can be placed.

05

A bridge or partial denture

Alternatives to implants for some situations, with different costs and trade-offs.

06

Doing nothing for now

A fair option to discuss, particularly if you are not sure.

Before you commit

Six things to ask any provider before you agree to implants

01

Who will do each part of the treatment?

The person who places the implant and the person who fits the tooth may be different.

02

What are your qualifications and experience?

Ask about their training and how many of these procedures they do.

03

What's in the written plan and price?

Every stage, including exams, imaging, any grafting, the implant, the tooth and follow-ups.

04

What are the alternatives, and the risks?

They should explain both, for your situation, in plain language.

05

What does insurance cover?

Ask what they will claim, what you pay, and get it in writing.

06

What if something goes wrong?

Ask about aftercare, follow-up appointments and any warranty, and what it requires from you.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

Am I suitable for dental implants?

Only a dental professional can tell you, after an examination and usually imaging. 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.

What does the process involve?

It usually starts with an exam and imaging, 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.

How much do implants cost?

It varies with how many teeth, whether you need extra procedures and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for a written treatment plan that lists every stage and what is included.

Will my dental insurance cover it?

Coverage for implants is often limited and depends on your plan. Ask your insurer and the provider what would be covered, and get the answer in writing before you start.

Who should place my implant?

Dentists, oral surgeons and periodontists place implants, and the tooth on top is often made and fitted by a dentist or prosthodontist. Ask who will do each part, and about their training and experience.

What are the alternatives?

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.

What are the risks?

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.

What should I have ready?

What you want help with, whether you have dental insurance, and your ZIP code. Keep your health history for the provider, not the form. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a dental practice?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't give dental or medical advice or treat anyone. The professional who contacts you is responsible for their advice and their quote.

Will several dentists call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified professional contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
