Are Dental Implants Worth the Cost?

To answer that questions, yes, dental implants are certainly worth what they cost. Moreover, dental implants are not actually expensive at all. On the contrary, they simply have a high cost associated with the skill and expertise required by the dentist to create and install the implant and crown. However, there are many affordable health insurance plans that will cover most or all of your expenses, and highly qualified and reputable dentists like the experts at Implant & Comprehensive Dentistry offer very flexible payment options for your dental needs.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth fixtures used to provide a permanent base for replacement teeth. They are designed for people with missing teeth or damaged teeth, and they include the implant, the abutment and the crown. The implant is a screw that serves as the fixture or root base for new teeth; the abutment is a permanent connector that supports the tooth and holds it in place; the crown is the physical part of the tooth you will be able to see (usually made of zirconium or porcelain).
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost usually ranges from $2,000 to $4,000 for one implant. This cost covers dentist fees and surgeon fees and may vary based on location. Actually, in addition to how many implants you will actually be getting, your location could also be another huge factor in determining the overall cost of your procedure.
The materials used to construct your implants (zirconium, titanium, etc.) will also affect the cost of your implants. Talking with your dentist about the pros and cons (and of course, price) of each material before getting your implants is highly recommended. This will not only help you manage the total cost of your dental implants, but it will also improve the quality and effectiveness of the procedure.
Another important factor that will affect the overall cost of your dental implant procedure is the team involved in the process. You will certainly see a strong correlation between the skill, experience and expertise of your dentist and the amount you eventually end up paying for your dental implants. The procedures associated with the process of creating and installing dental implants are very complicated and they require a lot of time and close attention to detail.
