Question 1

Are same day implants more expensive?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a dental implant is determined in part by the extent of the work needed and whether your dental insurance provider reimburses you for the procedure. The number of implant fixtures, bone grafting, and the type of anesthetic you choose will also have an impact on the costs involved. Our treatment coordination staff is available to answer any questions you have about scheduling and costs.

Question 2

Can I get dental implants in one day or the same visit?

Accepted Answer

While same-day dental implants are a great option for some patients, they aren't for everyone. At Costello Oral Surgery Associates, our surgeons are specialists in determining the timing of your procedure based on the health of the site and the condition of your jawbone. During your consultation, they will tell you if you are a candidate for same-day dental implants.

Question 3

How will I know if I am a candidate for dental implants?

Accepted Answer

A consultation with a trained oral surgeon is the only way to know if you're a candidate for dental implants. During this consultation, your medical history, oral health, x-rays, and other diagnostic imaging will be assessed to establish your candidacy for dental implant surgery.

Question 4

What is the best treatment for TMJ?

Accepted Answer

TMJ pain treatment options differ based on the underlying cause of the problem. Many patients experience relief with over-the-counter pain relievers, while others need muscle relaxants or prescription drugs. If TMJ dysfunction is caused by jaw clenching or teeth grinding, your surgeon may recommend a customized splint to wear at night. Although surgical treatments for TMJ pain are available, most TMJ disorder cases can be managed with the conservative treatments recommended by your specialist at Costello Oral Surgery Associates.

Question 5

What will happen if TMJ disease is not treated?

Accepted Answer

TMJ disorder symptoms can worsen without treatment, leading to pain that interferes with your quality of life and requires medical intervention. Patients with untreated TMJ issues may have chronic neck or jaw pain, depression, ear discomfort, headaches, and malnutrition.
