When tooth decay is so severe that restoration is impossible, the damaged tooth must be extracted. In these instances, dental implants are considered the most effective, natural feeling, and longest-lasting treatment option.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on several factors, including:
- The complexity of the procedure
- Type of implant used
- The number of teeth being replaced
- The need for associated procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifts
A dental implant is a small post implanted into the jawbone following tooth loss. These posts fuse permanently with the jawbone to create an anchoring point for a new tooth or fixed prosthetic like a dental bridge. Dental implants are popular because they replace a tooth’s crown (the part above the gum line) and its root.
Root replacement helps stabilize surrounding teeth and guards against jawbone loss.
As with any medical procedure, consultation with a dentist is recommended before getting dental implants to assess a patient’s specific needs and accurately calculate costs. Prices will vary based on complexity and potential pretreatments.
