Did you know that 3 million Americans have dental implants, and that number grows by nearly 500,000 every year? Regarded as one of the safest and most predictable dental procedures, dental implants are fast becoming the treatment of choice for missing teeth lost to infection, injury, or decay. Regaining confidence in your smile is possible when you choose dental implant surgery.

Finding dental insurance that covers dental implants can be challenging as this type of procedure is classified as cosmetic dentistry. The majority of dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures, which means you’d pay completely out of pocket—but that’s not always the case. While you may be hard-pressed to find dental implant insurance, other options—like dental savings plans for implants—can make footing the bill a bit easier.

Braces aren’t just for kids; they’re for adults, too. And while you may have never pictured yourself with a “metal mouth” at this age, it is becoming more common for adults to get braces—and they’re not always the metal type either. Nearly 1 million Americans over 18 years of age visit an orthodontist and wear braces, so you definitely won’t be alone.
