\"CalculatorA dental implant is the only treatment to recreate both the root and crown of a lost tooth. With over a 95% success rate to thrive for decades, dental implants are a great investment in your oral health and quality of life. However, they are attributed to a large price tag. Although you may pay more initially, you\u2019ll save money down the road because you\u2019ll never need to pay for replacements. Not to mention, you don\u2019t have to pay the entire amount at once because the process is done in several steps. Besides having more time to pay, there\u2019s not a flat dental implant cost since every situation differs. Here are 4 factors that will influence the cost of replacing your lost teeth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Your first step to a complete smile includes a thorough consultation with your dentist. During the process, they might find a few concerns that can make your procedure a little more complicated, like infection or bone loss. While most people with good oral and general health are candidates for dental implants<\/a>, many also require 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

Dental implants consist of 3 parts: the post, an abutment, and the restoration. The number of teeth you\u2019re missing will affect the amount you\u2019ll pay. If you have lost multiple teeth in a row, or even an entire arch, each tooth isn\u2019t replaced individually. Instead, a specific number of posts are used to support the bridge or denture to lower the overall cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When choosing materials for your new smile, it is better to focus on quality over price. You\u2019ll find discounted materials, but they often aren\u2019t as durable or successful as higher-end options. Your dentist will help you choose the best materials to ensure your smile thrives for 30 years or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Dental Insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can use your insurance to offset the cost of dental Implants. Depending on your policy, your benefits can cover 50% to 80% of the fees for certain steps in your plan, like preparatory treatments or restorations. After meeting your deductible, you can use your annual allowance to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Your dentist will help you maximize your dental insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides using your dental coverage, many dentists offer financing plans and other payment methods, which they\u2019ll review at your consultation. If you are ready to enjoy the next best thing to your natural teeth, your dentist has the solutions you need to keep dental implants affordable. You can regain a confident, attractive smile without spending your life\u2019s savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
