Dental Implant Cost
Dental Implants ... the Preferred Choice
Modern dentistry has made dental implants the preferred answer to missing teeth. Implants are secure replacements for natural tooth roots that offer lifelong health benefits. They encourage your jawbone to regenerate and help you avoid future dental problems, such as shifting teeth or additional tooth loss.
What Factors Affect Dental Implant Cost?
Dental implant treatment plans are as unique as individuals, and that makes pricing unique as well. It helps to understand the components of a dental implant when you talk about pricing. Restoring missing teeth with implants requires three pieces:
- The Implant. This is the post that goes into the jaw.
- The Abutment. This is a small connector that sits on top of the implant post and holds the restoration.
- The Restoration. This is your prosthetic tooth or teeth. Depending on your needs, Dr. Mormino may recommend a crown, a bridge, or a denture. We make restorations on-site in our state-of-the-art dental lab.
Let's look at some of the factors that can affect dental implants costs:
Preparation
To ensure your dental implants are long-lasting, it's important that your mouth is healthy. If our dentist identifies oral health concerns that could affect an implant, these will have to be managed before implant placement to ensure optimum results. Preparatory procedures that may be required, and that will increase the overall cost of treatment, include:
Gum Disease Treatment
Bone Grafts
Sinus Lifts
The Number of Implants
Your dental costs will depend on the number of implants you need. Only one implant is needed to replace a single tooth. However, if you need a bridge, you will need two implants. Implant-supported dentures require four to eight implants. Abutments can also affect the price, which can vary based on the type of material used in these connectors. For example, an aesthetically pleasing white zirconia abutment will cost more.
The Type of Restoration
Costs for restorations vary. Crowns usually cost less than bridges, which usually cost less than dentures. You will also have choices for the type of material used to create your restoration. If you choose an advanced material such as zirconia or IPS e.max®, the price will be higher.
