Dental Implant Costs

As we age, we lose our teeth due to disease, injury, or simple daily wear. Not only missing teeth affect the facial appearance and have a negative effect on our self confidence, they put our oral and dental health at risk. Dental implants is a cosmetic and restorative procedure for replacing and preventing the negative effects of missing teeth. Dental implants perform, look and feel like your own teeth and are practically indistinguishable from the natural ones.

Dental implants cost depends on various factors. Type of implants, the location of the placements, the dentist who performs it and the material used, together with your dental insurance will determine the exact cost of dental implants. A dental implant procedure requires a team of professionals, surgical staff and laboratory. Adding the time and effort of doctors and staff and the expensive material used in the procedure should give you an estimate of dental implants cost. Single implants usually range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the need for bone graft and/or sinus lift.

Knowing the dental implants cost, you should make sure you are a candidate for it. After adolescence or when bone growth is complete, replacing the missing teeth by dental implants can be done at any time. If you have medical conditions such as active diabetes, cancer or periodontal disease, you may need additional treatment before the surgery. In people who take immuno-suppressants and in smokers, the implant failure rate is higher.

Your bone density and quality should be determined before the procedure as well. If you have lost bone due to periodontal disease, you may not be a good candidate for dental implant.

Although the dental implants cost may seem pretty high to you, they are more cost effective than any other method of tooth replacement. Other methods usually require extensive repairs, replacements and procedure to prevent additional tooth loss and keep the integrity of facial structure.
