Changes Coming to the Dental Implant Industry

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that changes are on the way in the world of dental implants. Some of the larger players are expecting a lot of consolidation as smaller operations are becoming attractive and affordable to acquire. What does this mean for consumers? Hopefully it means a lower overall cost for implants and waste is cut out of the system. As the big companies drive their efficiency to a larger market it should hopefully push costs down. The end result will benefit the consumer.

What Are Crowns Veneers and Implants?

If you have a problem with a tooth, odds are you know it. Are bodies are pretty good at telling us when something isn’t right. But you may not know what it would take to fix it. Is there a cavity that needs to be filled? Is the tooth good enough to be saved? Do I need a crown? An Implant? A Veneer? What’s the difference between the three?

We get these kinds of questions a lot. And they’re good questions. The kind of questions you want your Knoxville dentist to be able to answer in a way you understand. Well here’s a great article that explains it in basic terms. You won’t need a dental degree to understand it either. There are a few weird punctuation errors, but I think that could just be from a browser error.

Let us know what you think or if you have any questions. And then call in today to get that tooth looked at.
