Dental Implant Cost - A Lifetime Investment in Oral Health
The upfront cost of anything can be intimidating, especially if the long-term benefits are not predictable or substantial. If you are missing one or more teeth, you may be wondering how dental implant cost can fit your budget and whether dental implants are worth the investment when comparing their price to dental bridges or dentures. While these “quick fixes” provide immediate aesthetic improvements, they do not address jaw bone loss, a major concern of missing teeth. This continuous bone resorption from lack of tooth stimulation will require maintenance of both other teeth and the restorations themselves. When considering dental implant cost, it is best to consider the lifetime value dental implants provide, both to the aesthetics of your smile and your oral health as a whole.
Factors that Determine Dental Implant Cost
- Number of teeth being replaced
- Severity of the case
- Bone grafting
- Anesthesia services
- Sinus lift
- Sinus augmentation
- Tooth extractions
- Ridge augmentation
- Ridge preservation
Replacing More than Missing Teeth
Dental implants are unique to other replacement options in a number of ways, specifically in how closely they mimic natural teeth. Along with replacing a lost tooth, they promote healthy stimulation of the jaw bone, halting further bone loss and preserving the area. Dental implant posts also fuse to the jaw bone, providing necessary strength and stability, just like a natural and healthy tooth. Especially if used to replace multiple missing teeth, dental implant cost affords patients the ability to eat the foods they love, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. All these factors combine to create a solution that not only replaces missing teeth, but the lost health and confidence as well! Patients and clinicians agree that dental implant cost is worth the long-term benefits. Dental implants are the only option that is designed to provide the necessary functional and aesthetic benefits, and when viewed in light of the future, provide the greatest investment to your smile long-term.
