Cost of Dental Implants

The average cost of a dental implant is $3,000, although it can go as high as $5,000. Several factors affect the cost of implants, so it’s difficult to determine the exact cost without a consultation. 

Here are the key factors that affect your dental implant cost.

• Number of implants: Multiple missing teeth may require more dental implants, resulting in higher overall costs.
• Type of implant: Your dental implant can be created from titanium or zirconia. Both materials are ideal for dental implants but have varying costs. 
• Supplementary procedures: Some patients may require pre-surgery procedures to prepare for implants. For instance, those with severe jawbone loss require bone grafting to augment the jawbone’s volume and density. Similarly, you may need dental extractions to replace failing/loose teeth with predictable dental implants. All these procedures add to your treatment cost. Furthermore, adjunctive procedures like sedation dentistry increase your overall cost. 

While the upfront cost may seem higher than other options, implants provide life-changing benefits. First off, dental implants offer lifetime durability. Unlike implants and dentures that require replacement more than once, a dental implant is usually a one-off expense. Once it’s placed, you don’t have to think about your gap ever again!

The other benefits unique to dental implants include:

• Jawbone preservation: Dental implants promote jawbone regeneration like natural teeth by providing functional stimulation as you chew and grind your teeth. No other tooth replacement has this capability. 
• Enhanced stability: Dental implants are firmly anchored in the jawbone, which provides remarkable stability when eating and speaking. 
• They don’t affect the nearby teeth: Dental implants are stand-alone teeth replacements, unlike dental bridges that derive stability from neighboring teeth. They are anchored in the jawbone and don’t need to use adjoining teeth as anchors. Dental implants strengthen the neighboring teeth instead of weakening them. 
• Enhanced chewing ability: Dental implants restore full chewing power, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without discomfort or restriction.
