Dental implants can provide lasting benefits to your oral health and the aesthetic quality of your teeth. Although dental implants can seem like a lot of money upfront, when you compare the alternatives it becomes a bit more nuanced when you weigh your options over time. Options like dentures and bridges often have to be repaired or replaced roughly every five to ten years. It’s very possible for the costs of this maintenance to add up quickly over time, making implants a better option for some patients. Losing teeth can have lasting consequences on the shape of your jaw, as your jawbone keeps all your other teeth in place. Tooth loss causes the jawbone to deteriorate. Taking steps to make sure these sorts of issues are corrected are important to the long-term health of your mouth. For this reason, it’s important to think of dental implants as less of an expense and more of a long-term investment.
Cost factors:
It’s important to note that every patient’s circumstance for dental implants is unique and we take pride in making sure every experience is personalized.
- In general, dental implants can cost between $1,500 to $2,000 for each individual implant.
- The number of implants you would end up needing depends entirely on how many teeth are missing.
- This is the cost for the implant itself but there are other costs involved.
Other costs include the crown, the abutment, potential costs from tooth extraction, the office visit, and pre-and post-operation care. Those can add an additional cost between $1,500 to $2,800. The expense for a single implant with all other costs considered would be about $3,000 to $4,800.
Takeaway:
Although dental implants can carry some significant costs, many dental insurance plans do help with at least part of the cost of implants. It’s important to set aside some funds to go towards the cost. As we’ve mentioned before, every patient situation is unique. We will use state-of-the-art equipment paired with genuine expertise to determine exactly what will be needed to help restore your smile. Members of the Verber Dental Plan also receive a discount on the cost of dental implants. When you schedule a visit and we assess your needs, we’ll be able to provide you with all options available to you.
