More inquiries are made about costs for dental implants than about post-operative discomfort or even the success rates of the procedures.
We are cognizant. Given that we have our own families to support, we are aware of how difficult it may be to balance all of your responsibilities. However, the cost of dental implants may be lower than you think. Before we get into the numbers, we’d want to encourage you to see the price of dental implants as an investment rather than an expense.
First, every instance is unique. Single dental implants, however, often cost between $1,500 and $2,000 per. not for every operation, but for every implant. Some people will only need one implant, however, others who have several missing teeth would need multiple implants.
Just the price of the dental implant itself is mentioned here. There are additional expenses, such as:
The crown (the tooth itself) may be either custom-made or pre-made.
The foundation (the part that connects the implant and the crown)
The price of removing teeth and their roots
The price of the doctor’s visits.
Preoperative care
Recovery care
The overall cost for a single implant can be between $3,000 and $4,800 when including these additional charges, which can range from $1,500 to $2,800.
If you need zygomatic implants, be prepared for much higher costs. Zygomatic implants require more skill and training to place because they are significantly longer than normal implants.
They are made for people who have suffered severe bone and gum loss. The good news is that since we can offer zygomatic implants, you’ll only have to pay for one procedure rather than two. Zygomatic implants are fantastic since they let us completely avoid bone graft procedures.
When compared to alternative tooth replacement techniques, dental implants appear astronomically pricey on the surface. But the two alternatives, bridges and dentures, need to be fixed or replaced normally every five to ten years. The price of this ongoing upkeep might quickly exceed the price of relying only on implants, which have a lifetime warranty (so long as you care for them properly). Dentures and bridges cannot stop the deterioration of your jawbone, which they also do.
Your face shape will alter when your jaw weakens. You’ll begin to look more mature. Additionally, your natural teeth will start to become loose. Your jawbone acts as the support structure for the roots of your teeth. Once it is lost, you will also lose your other teeth. Maintaining the remaining teeth in your mouth is priceless.
So, instead of considering dental implants as an expense, we urge you to consider them as an investment.
The good news is that most dental insurance companies reimburse some of the costs associated with dental implants. Insurance usually doesn’t cover all the costs, so you’ll probably still need to save up some cash before you can have your dental implant treatment scheduled, but not nearly as much as you would if you didn’t have insurance.
