DENTAL IMPLANT COST

There is no easy answer to this question as the amount you will pay is based on your personalized treatment plan. As a result, what your friend or loved one paid for their new smile will not be the same amount as what your dental implants will cost.

When estimating the cost of your treatment, there are several things to keep in mind, including:

• The number of teeth. A single-unit dental implant will cost less than an implant-supported denture; however, the denture will be more affordable than replacing each tooth individually.
• The materials. Now, there are many different types of materials that can be used to replace your missing teeth such as ceramic, titanium, or mini implant posts. The materials used will influence the cost.
• Any additional procedures. It is not uncommon to need additional procedures prior to the placement of the implant posts, such as bone grafting or tooth extractions. Depending on the types of procedures needed, it may increase the cost.
• Any required specialists. If your dental implant procedure is complex and requires the care of a specialist, you will have to pay their fees in addition to the office rates for your dentist in Midlothian.
• Any required anesthesia. To ensure your comfort during the procedure, anesthesia or sedation is often used. You will have to pay the cost of the medication, which will vary depending on the type used and the amount needed.
• Imaging. To create a customized treatment plan, diagnostic imaging is needed. In addition to x-rays, you may need a CT scan or other images to ensure the health of your jawbone and the correct placement of the implant posts.
• Dental insurance. In most cases, your dental insurance will not cover the cost of the procedure; however, depending on your specific policy, it may cover certain aspects, like tooth extractions or the dental crowns. This can help to lower the cost of the procedure to help stay within your budget.
