Cost of Dental Implants

Having dental implants placed is an investment in the health of both your teeth and your jaw. It is natural to want to know how much you can expect to pay to have the implant work done. A word of warning, however, to keep in mind if you are price shopping. There can be a significant difference in the quality of implants. While you may save money in the short term, implants made of cheap materials can wear out quickly—as soon as three years. High quality dental implants are designed to last for as long as twenty years. In the long run, you may not be saving any money at all.

When you work with Drs. Forth and Bender and their team of specialists you can be sure that you are receiving the highest quality dental implants as well as the highest quality care. His strict attention to detail and emphasis on giving his patients the best in all aspects of their dental care means that your dental implants will last as long as they should. The high quality materials will remain not only functional, but beautiful.

Keep in mind that when you decide to use dental implants to replace your missing teeth you are taking steps to avoid the severe consequences of facial collapse. As you age your implants will remain stable and you will look better, feel better, and trust your teeth to do the job they were designed to do.

The actual cost of your dental implants will depend on a variety of factors. Among these are what part of the country you are in, the complexity of your particular case, and whether or not restorative work on your bone will be required.

• Pricing for dental implants is done in two parts: the cost to surgically place the implant fixture in your jaw and the cost of the prosthetic tooth or crown.
• The cost to place the implant for a single tooth will generally range from $1,000 to $2,500
• The cost of a single replacement tooth or crown typically ranges from $1,000 to $2,500
• You can't simply multiple these costs by the number of teeth being replaced since your dentist will have different options available for replacing multiple teeth.
• Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. Unlike other tooth replacement options such as dentures and bridges they are designed to last a lifetime. Dentures and other temporary solutions will require periodic replacement.
