North Garland Dental and Orthodontics, an independent dental practice led by Dr. Jonathan Kuipers in Garland TX, part of the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are investing heavily in expanding its implant dentistry offering. Having identified a gap for lower-cost dental implant options in the area, Dr. Kuipers is now offering cost-effective solutions for all qualifying patients.
Focusing on the implant post for patients
Realizing that every patient is different and has their own needs, North Garland Dental and Orthodontics has decided to focus on the important dentistry part that is largely the same for all patients, and that is the actual surgical installation of the dental implant in the mouth and the healing cap placed afterward. In this manner, the office can offer transparent pricing as they have an accurate understanding of what the procedure will be and at what price they can provide it. Each patient can then have their case evaluated to determine what supplemental procedures will be needed, if any, for their particular situation. In many cases, patients may need to obtain a CBCT (a variation of a CT scan) to be properly evaluated.
What exactly are dental implants?
Dental implants are small titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth or bridges, which are then attached to the implants. Dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or disease. They are strong, durable, and look and feel like natural teeth. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective option for tooth replacement.
How can prospective patients evaluate different dental implant pricing proposals?
A clear difficulty that patients face when evaluating different dental implants offered is to identify whether they are comparing the same thing or not. Dr. Kuipers has always operated with a goal of uttermost transparency, and to that end makes the procedure insurance code prominent so patients can know exactly what they are getting. The current offer the practice is offering is for the D6010 insurance code, which covers the surgical placement of a full-sized implant, the second-stage surgery, and the placement of the healing cap. This does not include a tooth extraction or other procedures which may be needed depending on the patient's particular condition. When comparing a price quote from a different dental clinic, patients should ensure that they obtain the insurance reimbursement code that each portion of the treatment plan applies to, to properly compare their options.
In Summary
Patients have long struggled to find cost-effective dental implant solutions in their area, and patients in Garland TX have been no exception. Practices like North Garland Dental and Orthodontics should help the situation over time by offering transparent pricing and clear delineations of what the procedure will entail for a quoted price.
