If you\u2019ve been considering this procedure, one of the first questions you may have is, \u201cWhat is the cost of dental implants?\u201d Although it\u2019s impossible to provide a figure that applies to everyone, this blog will give you a general idea and explain some of the factors that determine the final cost. You\u2019ll also learn about the many benefits of implants and find out if they\u2019re a good investment or not. Learn more below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Benefits of Implants and Are They Worth the Investment? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that implants replace the roots of missing teeth\ndistinguishes them from other options and accounts for many of their\nadvantages, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Your jawbone is maintained <\/strong>\u2013 Implants simulate the surrounding jawbone and maintain it over time, just like natural teeth do. <\/li><li><strong>Superior chewing strength and stability<\/strong> \u2013 The roots of your teeth are what gives them strength. Implants are prosthetic roots (that are then completed with either a dental crown, bridge, or denture), so they feel and function more like your own teeth than any other option.<\/li><li><strong>Self-confidence<\/strong> \u2013 Implants won\u2019t slip during a meal or conversation like a denture can, so you won\u2019t have to worry about anyone knowing you\u2019ve lost teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Longevity<\/strong> \u2013 Traditional dentures and bridges are less expensive initially, but they only last an average of 5-10 years. In addition, continual re-lines and adjustments are necessary to keep a denture fitting well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkerdentalandortho.com\/dental-implants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Dental implants<\/a> are a fantastic long-term investment because they can last many decades with proper care and maintenance. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the Cost of Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every patient is unique, so the final cost will depend on\nyour individual situation. However, the <em>average<\/em>\ncost in most areas for a single implant is between $3,000-$4,500. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the factors that affect the final cost: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Whether\nyou have adequate bone mass in your jaw <\/strong>\u2013 If you\u2019ve lost some of the bone\nmass in your jaw (which naturally occurs over time after tooth loss), you may\nneed a bone graft to provide the support an implant needs.<\/li><li><strong>Whether\nyou need extractions or gum therapy<\/strong> \u2013 If you have active gum disease or any\nteeth need to be extracted, those treatment costs will be factored in. <\/li><li><strong>The\nnumber of implants you need<\/strong> \u2013 A single implant will include the cost of the\ndental crown that\u2019s needed to complete it. For multiple missing teeth, an\nimplant-retained bridge might be recommended instead. <\/li><li><strong>Whether\nan implant-retained denture<\/strong> <strong>is\nnecessary <\/strong>\u2013 If you\u2019re missing all of your teeth, you might benefit from an\nimplant-retained denture. This involves placing just 2-4 implants per arch,\nwhich are significantly smaller than regular implants, before attaching a\ndenture. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many possibilities, the first step is to schedule a\nconsultation with a dentist. After evaluating your needs, they\u2019ll be able to create\na treatment plan and give you a more specific figure! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkerdentalandortho.com\/meet-dr-tyler-wheeler.html\">Dr.\nTyler Wheeler<\/a> is a general and implant dentist who earned a Master\u2019s degree\nin Biomedical Sciences before completing the dental program at the University\nof Mississippi Medical Center.
