Dear Amy,<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

I’m glad you wrote. I want to address the dental anxiety issue first, because I’m hoping to give you a solution that will enable you to have positive dental appointments that will allow you to get caught up and not lose any more teeth.<\/p>\n

It’s tough when you’re dealing with anxiety and that fear itself can make the appointments feel more painful. For patients in your situation, we have found that going to a sedation dentist<\/a> changes their lives.<\/p>\n

With one level of sedation, oral conscious sedation, you can sleep through your appointment if you want to. It’s that strong, even though it is administered by a pill. The only real downside is that you will need someone to drive you to and from your dental appointment.<\/p>\n

As for dental insurance covering your dental implants<\/a>, that depends. If you already have dental insurance, depending on the plan, they will cover a portion of them, but don’t expect it to be much. In most cases, they’re only willing to pay a significant amount on the least expensive solution for tooth loss, which would be removable partial dentures in your case.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have dental insurance, they won’t allow you to sign on and then immediately get an expensive procedure. Most of them will have a waiting period for anything other than basic checkups and cleanings.<\/p>\n

If you decide to get the removable first because of the cost, that is fine. I would save up for the implants, though, because you’ll have a better quality of life with something permanent.<\/p>\n
