Straight Answers About Cost
Cost of Dental Implants
No two implant treatment plans cost the same, because no two mouths are the same. Here is what actually drives the cost of dental implant treatment, and how we help you plan for it, with a written estimate before you commit.
What Drives the Price
The cost of dental implant treatment is based on a number of factors.
The number of missing teeth to replace, the location of the teeth and the type of restoration are a few of the factors that decide cost. The health of mouth gums and supporting bone structure are also significant. If a patient has insufficient bone structure to secure the implant a bone augmentation might be required.
The only way to accurately estimate the price for an individual patient is to book a consultation with an expert. The total fee is usually comparable to other methods of tooth replacement; however, long-term, implant treatment is generally more cost effective than alternatives, such as bridges, partials, and dentures that require periodic adjustment and replacement.
Back teeth are hidden from view and have more room for the implant root, making molars simpler to implant than front teeth. Visible front teeth have additional esthetic requirements and less surgical space.
Teeth lost years earlier may have produced bone loss. Bone grafting or a sinus lift may be required before implant placement to restore enough supporting bone.
Biocompatible implant materials such as titanium and tantalum are manufactured in different degrees of porousness. More porous materials can integrate with bone more quickly but cost more to manufacture.
A surgeon's experience, record of success, and level of expertise affect the cost of treatment, just as they do in other highly specialized fields.
Anesthesia providers, surgical assistants, and laboratory specialists all contribute to treatment. A more extensive team increases the total cost.
