One of the most common misconceptions about dental insurance is the belief that it will cover the entire cost of a procedure. In reality, most dental insurance plans have a maximum coverage limit, typically around $2,000. Additionally, certain procedures such as implants or implant crowns may not be covered by insurance as they are often considered cosmetic rather than essential for oral health. As a result, patients should be aware that they may be responsible for a significant portion of the cost of these procedures, even if they have dental insurance coverage.

If you or someone you love needs dental care but need help with financing, meet with Dr. E. Ahono Gildersleeve to learn about if Brockley Dental accepts dental insurance and how they can help you get the care you need.

    The Mini Dental Implant Advantage

    Half The Size

    Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.

    Half The Cost

    In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is less than half the cost of a traditional implant case, saving you money.

    Preserves Bone Structure

    Implants preserve your natural bone structure so you can maintain the shape of your face and avoid continued bone loss where teeth are missing.

    Immediate Results

    Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.

    Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits

    Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.

    No More Decay

    Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.
