\"DentalMore than 500,000 people annually are ditching their traditional bridges and dentures to replace their missing teeth with dental implants. They are unlike any other treatment because they replicate both the roots and crowns. With over 95% thriving for decades, a dental implant<\/a> is a wise investment; however, you might not believe they are in your budget. Contrary to what you\u2019ve heard, a dental implant can be the most cost-effective option to complete your smile. Although every situation is different, here are 5 factors that affect dental implant cost.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Preliminary Procedures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not unusual for patients to require a little prep work before getting their dental implants. Your initial consultation will involve a CT scan of your mouth to have a full picture of your oral health. Based on the results of your examination, you may need preparatory procedures, like tooth extractions, gum disease therapy, or bone grafting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Number of Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dentist implant consists of a post, an abutment, and a crown. When replacing several teeth, you won\u2019t need an implant post for each missing tooth. Instead, a specific number is used to support a bridge or denture. The number of teeth you\u2019ve lost will determine how many posts and abutments will be needed to support your restoration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dentist\u2019s Qualifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can lower the amount you\u2019ll pay for your new smile by choosing a periodontist, which has undergone advanced training in the procedure. As a result, you won\u2019t be referred to another location for the placement surgery. The entire process will be handled in-office, so you can avoid specialist fees. Each phase of your treatment will have separate costs, giving you more time to pay because you won\u2019t have to cover the entire amount upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone loves saving money, but you shouldn\u2019t pinch pennies when choosing materials for dental implants. You\u2019ll find discounted materials; however, they may not be as durable, successful, or aesthetically pleasing as those of a higher quality. Your periodontist will suggest the best materials to ensure your dental implants last for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Payment Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have many options to reduce the cost of dental implants, like using your insurance. It\u2019s unlikely your dental insurance will cover the entire amount, but you can use your benefits to lower the amount you\u2019ll pay. Every case is unique, but your dental benefits can be used to offset the cost of specific steps in your treatment plan, like gum disease therapy, diagnostic imaging, or the restorations. Besides using your coverage, you can pay for your treatment using monthly installments through a third-party financing company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to settle for anything less than the best if money is tight. Your periodontist will help you find the solutions you need to rebuild your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
