Dental Implant Cost

How Is Dental Implant Cost Determined?

Custom Solutions for Tooth Replacement

Dental implants offer customizable solutions for meeting individual tooth replacement needs. Since dental implants can replace single, multiple and even full arches of missing teeth, they offer a versatility unrealized by any other tooth replacement option. Many patients who are considering dental implants in Duxbury and Osterville, MA have questions about the process and overall cost. When it comes to planning a dental implant procedure, no two patients or treatment plans are alike. As such, dental implant cost also varies according to individual needs. Dr. Robert Faiella and our team keep patients informed throughout each step of the implant process, and provide cost expectations prior to beginning treatment. We also take every measure to minimize your total cost while maximizing your treatment results.

Factors That Shape the Cost of Dental Implants

Every implant procedure is different, and designed to meet individual oral health and smile goals. In some cases, preparatory treatment is necessary to create the right environment for dental implant success. Factors and preparatory procedures that influence the overall cost of dental implants include:

1

Tooth Extractions

The need to extract hopeless or failing teeth factors into dental implant cost. In many cases, we can extract teeth and place dental implants within the same visit.

2

Bone Grafting

Dental implants require sufficient bone levels for support. If bone loss has occurred, we may need to perform a bone grafting procedure before placing dental implants.

3

Gum Health

Dental implants work best in a healthy periodontal environment, as they rely on healthy gums and bone for support. Any areas of gum disease must be treated before starting implant surgery.

4

Type of Procedure

The number of missing teeth to replace and type of implant procedure, such as single, multiple or full arch dental implants, affect overall cost.

Invest in Your Smile for the Long Term

Once your implant sites have healed, your general dentist or prosthodontist can restore your dental implants with permanent lifelike crowns or full arch prosthetics. Dr. Faiella works closely with your restorative dentist to ensure the most favorable results for your oral health and smile. In some cases, your restorative dentist may be able to attach temporary replacement teeth until your dental implants fully integrate with the bone. Choosing dental implants to replace missing or hopeless teeth affords many life-long benefits, and are a permanent option with proper care. Leaving teeth unreplaced or choosing less permanent options may result in costlier future oral health needs. If you have missing or hopeless teeth or questions about implant cost, a consultation with Dr. Faiella can determine if dental implants are the ideal option for your smile.
