Getting dental implants is a major investment in your oral health, but it’s a worthwhile investment that restores missing teeth and gives you a complete and fully functional smile. It’s good to learn as much as possible about dental implant cost before pursuing this restorative dentistry solution. Get answers from Dr. Don Mungcal and his dental team at Downtown Dental in Los Angeles, who are prepared to help you find the right smile makeover for you and your budget.
Dental Implants Cost Factors
Every dental implant surgery is unique because the procedure differs depending on the state of a person’s teeth and gums. While there are some steps common to every dental implant procedure, there are also factors that vary the dental implants cost tremendously, including:
- Number of dental implants used
- Type of dental implant (e.g., All-On-Four, single, denture implant)
- Location of the implants
- Materials used
- Whether tooth extraction is necessary
- Whether gum grafts are needed
- Sedation methods
- Location of the dental practice
Average Costs of Dental Implants
Compared to other restorative dentistry procedures, dental implant cost will seem high. This is a top-of-the-line treatment, but it pays dividends with its longevity. Dental implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss, eliminating the need for denture adhesives or temporary appliances.
Once you get dental implants, you won’t have to undergo this restorative dentistry treatment again. Your teeth will be stronger, healthier, fully functional, and look better than ever. In short – the investment is worth it.
The following amounts are the average out-of-pocket costs of dental implants before dental insurance is applied:
- Cost of one dental implant: Between $1,000 to $3,000
- Costs of other dental implant features: Between $500 and $3,000 (includes the abutment on top of the implant and the customized dental crown)
- Final cost of a dental implant procedure: Between $1,500 and $6,000 (includes consultation, surgery, and follow-ups but may not include oral sedation, gum grafts, or other additional costs specific to your unique case)
In short, the costs above will multiply if you choose to undergo restorative dentistry for multiple single dental implants or a full arch of implant-supported dentures. Talk to your dentist about what kind of bill you’re facing, where discounts are possible, and, most especially, why this investment is worth the time, money, and effort.
