Here's what dentists have to say about how the economy affects dental implant treatment:

• "We all know that a single tooth implant is the best solution for a missing tooth. Our office has priced the single implant and restoration (including the abutment if needed) exactly the same as a three unit dental bridge." (Alaska dentist)
• "Some patients are opting for no treatment." (New Jersey dentist)
• "People are still finding insurance coverage for bridges, and even though the patients still would rather have the implant, they are electing bridges for financial considerations."
• "People are still doing dental treatment, but case sizes accepted are generally smaller." (Tennessee dentist)

Just a thought…. I wonder if there’s any increase in demand for mini dental implants as a less expensive treatment alternetative to regular dental implants?
