FAQ’s
Welcome to the Grinville Dental Clinic FAQ page! We understand that making decisions about your dental health can raise many questions, especially when it comes to dentures and implants. To help you navigate these options, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our patients ask. Let’s guide you through the essentials to ensure you’re informed and confident in your choices.
1. What’s the difference between dentures and dental implants?
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth, while dental implants are permanent, surgically placed posts that support artificial teeth. Implants are more stable and long-lasting, while dentures offer a less invasive, more affordable option.
2. How do I know if I’m a candidate for dental implants?
Good candidates for dental implants have healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and determine if implants are the right option for you.
3. How do I care for dentures or implants?
Dentures should be cleaned daily and soaked when not in use. Implants need brushing and flossing like natural teeth. Regular dental checkups are essential for both to ensure they last and function well.
4. How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. It’s important to visit your dentist regularly to ensure proper maintenance of your implants and address any issues early.
5. Are dentures or implants covered by insurance?
Some insurance plans cover part of the cost of dentures or implants. We recommend checking with your provider, and we’ll work with you to maximize your benefits. Financing options are also available.
