Factors that influence the cost of Dental Implants
Believe it or not, there was a time when there were not many options available to individuals needing to replace missing teeth. Dentures and bridges have been around, but those may not offer the characteristics you are looking for in a tooth replacement option. Dental implants provide a long-lasting, durable option for tooth replacement. Drs. Ian Campbell, Christopher Allington, and Lara Loescher of Positive Image Dental in Devonshire, Bermuda, offer dental implants to patients seeking a dependable solution to replace missing teeth.
What influences the cost of dental implants?
When talking about how much dental implants will cost you, the most important thing to note is that it will be cost per implant, not per procedure. The cost will cover the three major components of the implant, which are the post, abutment, and crown, and can be anywhere between $3,000 to $5,000 per implant. The price can vary based on a number of factors, including:
- Experience: Going to a well-experienced dental professional will minimize risks during the implant procedure, but it could cost you more.
- Materials: Most dental implants are manufactured using titanium or zirconium. The quality of the materials being used to make your implant will also dictate the price.
- Preliminary work: Any additional work required to prepare your mouth for an implant will add to the cost. Examples of possible preliminary work could include tooth extraction, sinus elevation, or bone grafting.
- Laboratory: The cost of your crown restoration can fluctuate based on the lab your dentist works with.
- Location: While it may not seem like a factor, the cost can also vary based on your dentist’s location.
- Individualized work: Implants are highly customized to a patient’s needs. Because of this, the price will likely vary from patient to patient based on specific requirements.
