Cost of Dental Implants

Dental implants improve your health and quality of life. After replacing missing or decayed teeth with implant-supported restorations, you can smile with confidence, enjoy an unrestricted diet, and experience better oral health. However, like many patients, you may be worried about the cost of dental implants. It is natural to worry about any investment in your health, but we believe the many benefits of implants make them well worth the cost.

What is Included in the Cost of Dental Implants?

Evaluating the cost of dental implants should focus on the long-term benefits, not just the initial cost. At Dynamic Smile Design, Dr. Patel breaks down the cost for you based on a detailed evaluation of your dental needs and aesthetic goals, itemizing the overall cost of each step and the materials used. Several factors come into play when determining the price, including:

• An initial consultation, including X-rays and digital imaging.
• The complexity of implant placement surgery.
• Bone grafting, if needed, to build up the jawbone to support implants.
• The type of anesthesia used.
• The implant material (titanium or ceramic).
• The design and fabrication of custom crowns or permanent prosthetics.
• The number of implants needed.
• Follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.

     Why Quality Dental Implants Are Worth the Price

You should never compromise the quality or experience when getting dental implants. While it may be tempting to opt for the cheapest option available, it’s essential to understand the potential downsides. Choosing a low-cost implant solution can often lead to subpar results. Cheap implants do not offer the durability or longevity needed for a lasting solution. Poorly crafted implants can result in discomfort, complications, and even failure over time.

Your journey to a restored smile should be comfortable and stress-free. Opting for an inexperienced dentist may mean sacrificing the quality of care and expertise provided by an experienced implant dentist like Dr. Patel. The result may be an unnatural appearance or an uncomfortable feel with implant-supported restorations that do not fit or function properly.

The longevity and convenience of dental implants make them an excellent investment over time. While you may initially pay more than alternatives such as dentures, implants pay for themselves over time. Dental implants often last a lifetime, while dentures and dental bridges require replacement or repairs every few years. Dentures and bridges must also be removed for cleaning with special cleansers, driving up the cost of maintaining them.

Dental implants preserve oral health, something that cannot be said for dentures or bridges. Implants help preserve jawbone and facial contours and prevent irritation from poorly fitting dentures or bridges. Finally, dental restorations using dental implants do not develop cavities and can last for decades.
