hi angela. i have another tooth that was removedsome years ago because it was split down to the roots. i'm wanting to get an implant inits place. i've heard this kind of dental treatment can be expensive so i'm wonderingwhat i need to know about the cost. well gerry, firstly there are two stages to every dentalimplant; a surgical component where the titanium fixture or or old is placed in your jaw boneor under your gum and and a restoration component where a crown is installed onto the implantfixture. so you need to make sure you have them both costed. and what if i would liketo be treated by specialists? no problem at all, as i think you know there is no exclusivespecialise as such for dental implants. so don't construe titles such as 'implant surgeon','implantology' or 'implant dentist' to mean
that these clinicians have more qualificationsthan your local general dentist. very interesting because i do see those labels all over themarketing websites of dentists.that's right when it comes to the surgical component thereare only three board registered specialist who have the appropriate training.they are maxillofacial surgeons, oral surgeons and periodontists. and how about the specialistwho does the crown? this specialist is called a prosthodontist. i see, but i suppose i'mstill wondering whether my general dentist could provide my implant, surely that wouldbe cheaper? absolutely, general dentists especially experiencedones, can handle both of these aspects but remember the more complicated the implantcase the most strongly advised you out to
consult a specialist or the maxillofacialsurgeon or periodontist or a specialist prosthodontist. or get a second opinion before embarking onsuch a course of treatment, this applies particularly to anyone who is more than one tooth missing,depleted bone, cosmetic challenges about complexities. so do i need a referral to see the specialistsand will it cost a lot? no, a referral isn't necessary. and your scans your x-rays on yourrecords can be transferred from your existing dentist so there is no doubling up with costsa medicare rebate is also applicable if you choose to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.sewn this way your assisted with the cost and don't forget if you have any doubts aboutthe specialist registration other dental practitioner just checked them up on the apra website.that's great advice angela, thank you.
