By taking care of your oral health, you are making an investment in your overall health and life. When you are missing teeth, your health suffers as a whole, from the limited foods you can eat, to jaw bone deterioration and even a changing facial shape. Dental implants are the ideal solution to replacing missing teeth, as they restore the function of the tooth crown and root at the same time. Many people are concerned about the cost of having dental implants placed, but because of the unique physiology of every person, it is difficult to give an exact cost without an examination of your oral structure.
Factors That Determine Your Dental Implant Cost
You may have one or multiple procedures that will need to be performed before dental implants can be placed and these often affect the overall dental implant cost. Many of these factors are necessary to ensure that the implant does not fail after being placed. Some of the procedures that influence dental implant cost include:
- Number Of Teeth To Be Replaced - We are able to use dental implants to replace any number of missing teeth, from one tooth to an entire arch. In cases of full arch tooth replacement, we can use as few as two dental implants to secure an implant supported denture.
- Necessary Tooth Extraction - Dental implants take the place of missing teeth, so if you have any failing, damaged, or broken teeth that need to be replaced, they must be extracted first. Our extractions are gentle with the use of sedation dentistry, but each extraction will alter the overall cost.
- Bone Grafting - When placing a dental implant, you must have sufficient bone volume to fully support the implant post within your jaw. If proper volume isn’t present, we offer bone grafting treatment to restore bone to the area prior to dental implant placement.
- Severity of Your Case - Depending on the type of treatment you need will influence the overall cost of your dental implants. Replacing a single missing tooth is a much different cost than when you need to replace a full arch of teeth. We offer Teeth Tomorrow® as a convenient solution for those in need of replacing all their teeth in an entire arch.
