WHY DOES THE COST OF
DENTAL IMPLANTS VARY SO MUCH?
Comparing the costs of dental implants can be difficult as implants are a complex dental procedure and the patient’s clinical condition varies tremendously. Some of the factors determining the final dental implant price are: |
THE CONDITION OF YOUR JAW BONE.
Sometimes the jaw bone is too thin or soft . This is not ideal for implant placement. Special surgical procedures may be required to expand or harden the bone. In some cases, bone grafting procedures may be required. These procedures contribute an additional cost to the entire procedure. |
THE CONDITION OF YOUR GUM.
In aesthetic cases, where the gum tissues are thin or inadequate, soft tissue grafting may be required to improve the final aesthetic outcome. There will be additional fees for these procedures. |
THE TYPE OF
DENTAL IMPLANTS.
Regular titanium root- form implants are more expensive while the mini- implants are cheaper. Mini-implants are much smaller in size and are usually used to retain simple, removable dentures. Mini-implants are not for everybody as their failure rate tends to be higher. |
STAGING OF IMPLANT SURGERY
For the soft bone condition or when bone grafting is needed, the inserted implants are completely sutured up and covered by gum. These cases will require a 2nd stage surgery to expose the implants and hence, there will some additional cost involved.
|
THE DENTIST EXPERIENCE.
Of all the factors, the experience and skills of the dentist is the most important. This factor also accounts for the variation of implant prices quoted.
