\"Dentist<\/a>If you\u2019re missing a single tooth or a complete row of teeth, your dentist probably recommended a dental implant supported tooth replacement plan. Dental implants allow dentists to replace a lost tooth from the roots up, mimicking natural structure. It\u2019s no surprise dentists are all for dental implant restoration. Unfortunately, many patients are worried about the cost. While the initial investment is a little higher than other restoration options, the end result is a replacement tooth or teeth that will likely last the rest of your life and function just like your natural tooth. The goal of a good dentist is to provide clarity in pricing, affordable treatments, maximized dental insurance, and financing options. Before you get started with your tooth replacement plan, read this post where we outline some of the factors that impact the cost of dental implant<\/a> placement and restoration.
\n<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 Your Dentist\u2019s Experience<\/h2>\n

You want an experienced dentist or oral surgeon to place your dental implant. This ensures your safety and increases your chances for successful dental implant placement. However, that experience may raise the number on your implant price tag. We truly think paying a little more for safety and experience is well worth the investment.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 The Quality of the Implant & Other Materials<\/h2>\n

Many patients don\u2019t know that there are a variety of materials available to craft every part of your implant supported tooth replacement. The implants themselves were traditionally made from titanium because this is the metal most often used in bone healing procedures, but now, you can receive implants made with a variety of metals and non-metal materials. Additionally, the abutments that attach the implant and replacement teeth are crafted from numerous materials as are the replacement teeth themselves. Ask your dentist to review all of your options, the costs, benefits, and disadvantages before you get started with treatment.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 Preparatory Treatments<\/h2>\n

Before your dental implants and replacement teeth are placed, you may need to have one or more teeth extracted or receive a tissue grafts. These preparatory treatments are additional costs, but they improve the chances for successful, long lasting implantation.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 Sedation Dentistry Options<\/h2>\n

During preparatory treatments and the dental implant placement, you will likely want to receive some level of dental sedation to keep you comfortable. This can add to the cost of your treatment, but in some cases, insurance will cover part of this cost.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Dental Insurance<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, dental insurance providers are notoriously behind the times when it comes to covering new or innovative procedures. With decades of successful dental implants, this procedure isn\u2019t necessarily new or innovative, but insurance providers still aren\u2019t recognizing it as a necessary treatment. However, other parts of your treatment plan will receive insurance coverage, and a good dentist will help you maximize these benefits. Your preparatory procedures, replacement teeth, and sedation may all receive some coverage from your insurance plan.<\/p>\n
