Dental Implant Myths:

Myth #1:  Dental Implants are too expensive!

Many patients fear that they are not a candidate for dental implants because of the expense.  The fact is, that over time, dental implants are more cost effective and more successful than many other forms of restoration.  Bridges may have to be replaced every 5-15 years, dentures and partials slip and become ill-fitting.  The maintenance and retreatment of these types of restorations can become expensive.  Dental implants are 97% successful over 47 years and they are permanant!  With dental implants, you do not have decay or increased wear on the other natural teeth.  Dental implants are, however, as susceptible to periodontal disease as natural teeth.  Dental implant patients must practice good oral hygeine and continue to get their dental cleanings every 4-6 months. 

Myth #2:  Having a dental implant placed is painful!

Over 95% of patients report that having a dental implant placed is significantly less uncomfortable than having the tooth extracted in the first place.  This is because the placement of a dental implant is, by design, very precise and atraumatic to the oral tissue including the gum tissue and bone.  Most patients do not experience post-operative pain or swelling.  The tissues are preserved as much as possible in order to facilitate healthy healing.

Myth #3 Dental Implants are Experimental:

Dental implants have been a part of dentistry and oral surgery in the United States since the 1960’s.  Since then, design, materials and technique has been nearly perfected to ensure a 97% success rate over the last 47 years, or since dental implants were introduced.  It is very likely that dental implants will outlast most of the patients who have them!

Summer Time is Wisdom Teeth Time!

admin @ 9:54 am

Sun, sports, barbeques and swimming pools are the things you usually associate with summertime.  Many people also choose to use the summer months away from school or college as an opportunity to take care of health concerns they may have put off throughout the year.  Having wisdom teeth removed during this break is a good idea, especially if your symptoms are preventing enjoyment of all that summer has to offer.

We have expanded our surgery schedule in order to accomodate patients who wish to have their surgery done over the summer time.  Also, for the summer months only, patients who lack dental insurance coverage can afford to have their needed treatment with special non-insurance pricing: 

 $1085.00 for consultation, xrays, surgery and anesthesia. 

Patients who do have dental insurance receive special discounted fees from their insurance carrier and often pay only $200-$500 out of pocket for their wisdom teeth surgery.

Don’t delay, though.  Our summer time schedule does fill up fast.  Take advantage of the special incentives now through July 31.

Special Fee Incentives for Wisdom Teeth Surgery

State of the Economy and a Desire to Help Prompts Surgeon to Take Drastic Measures to Reduce Patients’ Costs.

 

With rising cost of living, uncertain job market and families strapped for cash, patients are foregoing necessary dental surgery, placing themselves and family members at risk for serious complications from infection.  A local doctor with a desire to ease the burden on families has taken a huge bite out of the expense of necessary treatments such as wisdom teeth removal and dental implants.

 

Dallas, TX March 31, 2010 –  As families struggle with the higher cost of living, uncertain job market and struggling economy, many are foregoing much needed dental surgery in favor of waiting for the economic recovery to be felt.  The problem many patients face when postponing needed care is that the dental problem often escalates, adding expense, lost time from work and sometimes hospitalization.  Dr. Robert A. Weinstein has devised a method for providing relief for families having to choose whether or not to proceed with procedures such as wisdom teeth removal or dental implants.

Dr. Weinstein provides surgical removal of all four wisdom teeth with IV general anesthesia in his office for less than half of the traditional cost of this surgery.  Patients utilizing insurance benefits pay even less out of pocket.  For example:  a patient with no insurance can receive consultation, x-rays, all four wisdom teeth removed and IV general anesthesia for under $1100.00.  Normal fees for this surgery range from $1600 to $2500 per patient. A patient using insurance may pay only $200-$800 out of pocket for the same surgery.  This provides huge relief for patients who would otherwise be unable to afford this type of surgery.  

“I see more patients now with advanced infections, which can become dangerous, than I have seen in many years.  Patients are postponing needed treatment until the pain or infection becomes unbearable,” says Dr. Weinstein.  “I want to do my part to make this type of care more accessible for people who are struggling in this tough economy”.

Patients should not sacrifice safety, quality of care and compassionate treatment for price.  “My standards for patient care are very high.  I believe in taking care of people as a whole; not just taking care of an infection or a toothache.  The price may be lower right now, but the standard of care is as high or even higher than ever”.

Texas Wisdom Teeth and Dental Implants is a private Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practice located in North Dallas.  Their service motto is:  Provide personalized care with genuine concern and compassion.  Dr. Weinstein has been a specialist in his field for over 30 years.

Fair Fees for Healthcare Services

admin @ 8:39 am

One question that an informed patient always asks is whether they are receiving a fair fee for the health care services they require. This has been a topic of discussion in our office recently. Surgical fees are not something that the average person knows a lot about simply because most people do not have surgery very often. Like any purchase that you make, it is a good idea to research cost as well as the doctor you choose to go to. May patients will save a substantial amount of the cost of health care services by simply choosing an “in-network” doctor for their insurance plan. This is the cost savings even BEFORE the insurance plan pays the claim for services. For patients who are not insured, websites such as http://www.healthcarebluebook.comare great resources for finding the appropriate fee for services. An informed patient will choose a doctor that they feel comfortable with and whose fees are within a reasonable range of the average for their area. Our office has researched our fees and has found that we are consistently at or below the DFW average for all services. Combine fair pricing with exceptional patient care and compassion and you have made a good choice. Call us directly with questions or feel free to e-mail us at dena@texaswisdom.com (more…)

 Wisdom Teeth Removal

Third molars, also known as wisdom teeth begin to develop during the early teen years and are usually recommended for removal between the ages if 13 and 21.  Third molars usually begin to erupt in to the dental arch during the later teenage years and early adulthood, gaining the nickname “wisdom teeth”.  They are the last of the thirty-two teeth to erupt. 

Most people’s jaw bones are not large enough to accommodate this third set of molars, which can pose a number of problems that usually require removal of the wisdom teeth.  Some of the problems that can be caused by wisdom teeth are listed below.

Impaction:  Impacted third molars occur when the jaw bone is not large enough to accommodate the eruption of the teeth.  The third molars become malpositioned and remain “impacted” below the bone and gum tissue.  The roots of the teeth continue to grow and the teeth attempt to erupt, often creating pressure on the back of the second molars.  This can cause dental crowding, cyst formation or partial eruption which results in pain and infection (pericoronitis).  Impacted third molars are usually recommended for removal because these problems can cause serious damage to the adjacent teeth and jaw bone.

 

Dental Caries:  Dental caries, or tooth decay is the most common problem associated with third molars which have managed to erupt into the dental arch.  These teeth are located out of easy reach for a toothbrush or floss.  Because they are so difficult to keep clean, the often decay or contribute to decay of adjacent teeth.  Removal of these third molars makes dental hygiene more manageable and aids in the maintenance of healthy gum tissue, reducing the risk of periodontal disease in the molar area.
