Cosmetic Dentistry: Dental Implants And Sedation Dentistry
Many patients who have cosmetic dentistry in Los Angeles choose to have dental implants; but two considerations may temper their decision. The cost of dental implants is usually not covered by insurance; and can run around $1000 per tooth so that is an influential factor. Second, many people do not like the idea of the surgical procedure. For these patients who can afford the procedure, sedation dentistry is available. Sedation dentistry is basically a method of administering anesthesia that is more calming to the patient, and comes in the following forms: oral sedation without needles, IV sedation, and laughing gas. All of these methods offer the patient a feeling that the surgery was quick and painless.
