Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of dental implants is rarely covered by insurance. In general, dental implants themselves typically cost between $1,000 and $3,000, with factors such as the number of implants used, preliminary procedures required, and the use of sedation influencing the final cost. Dr. Shahram Navid in Peabody, MA, offers financing plans to help make implants affordable on virtually any budget.
Dental Implant Cost Factors
The amount you can expect to pay for restoring your smile with dental implants will be affected by:
- Preliminary procedures: In some cases, patients may require preparatory procedures before placing implants. This may include bone grafts, gum grafts, extractions, or other types of restorative work.
- Number of implants needed: The more implants a patient receives, the higher the cost will be. Therefore, someone having a single implant and crown placed will pay significantly less than an individual receiving a full implant-supported denture, which requires multiple posts on each arch.
- Type of abutments: Once an implant has fused to the bone, an abutment must be placed. This tiny device extends just beyond the gum line and connects to the restorations. These can be made from a variety of materials. A zirconia abutment, for example, will cost more than a titanium abutment.
- Type of sedation: Many patients choose to undergo sedation to make them more comfortable and relaxed during placement surgery. Individuals can choose from nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation provides deeper relaxation, and is the costlier option.
- Cost of restorations: The size of your restoration and the material used will have a major influence on the cost of your treatment. For example, an acrylic denture will cost far less than a zirconia denture.
The cost of restoring your smile with dental implants can vary dramatically depending on your specific needs.
