How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of a dental implant depends heavily on a number of different factors. While upfront costs are considerably higher than traditional restorations, the long-term benefits outweigh the expense in the long run.
Factors that affect the final cost of dental implants at our office include:
The biggest factor affecting the price of dental implants is the number of teeth to be replaced. While replacing one missing tooth naturally costs the least, patients missing multiple teeth can save significantly by having all of their implants placed during a single procedure.
Implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures can be crafted from a number of different materials. The size of the restoration, as well as the materials used, can have a significant impact on the cost of treatment. More expensive materials such as zirconia look more like natural teeth and last for longer.
The type of dental implant used will influence how it must be placed, which in turn can influence overall costs. Our dentist offers traditional titanium implants, mini implants, and All-on-4® to address the tooth loss needs of our patients. Mini implants and the All-on-4 technique require less intensive surgery and offer lower costs for replacing multiple teeth.
Depending on your state of oral health and how long you've been living with tooth loss, you may require additional dental procedures to restore your candidacy for implant placement. Examples of preparatory treatments that can increase costs include the extraction of a tooth that cannot be saved, as well as a sinus lift or bone grafting to improve jawbone density.
Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
Depending on your dental insurance, a portion of your treatment may be covered. Most plans cover a crown , bridge , or denture, but not the actual dental implant or the associated surgery. Our friendly staff at our dental office in Lakewood, CO , will gladly file all the necessary paperwork with your provider to ensure you make the most out of your benefits. We can also advise you as to what is and is not covered by your plan.
