Dental implant vs. Bridge

I got two implants one year ago. They are expensive ($7,500 for both out of pocket with insurance). It is worth it as they look and feel like real teeth.

The $7,500 includes for me the removal of the two rotten teeth, two implants, and two customized made crowns to match your existing teeth. Hopefully you have better dental insurance than me.

Our insurance is just starting to cover implants in 2024 (coincidentally- decided to do this before I knew they were adding it). But OOP max is much less than cost of implant and crown so I expect to be OOP around $5K or so. Is what it is.
