How much does a dental implant cost ???




The dental implant cost is made up of the following factors :

Material – The dental implants and the restored part:the actual dental implant price and the cost of making the artificial tooth on top of it. Most major dental implant companies have implants in the same price range - so there's not much price variation.

wallet Imaging – X-rays or C.T's:the latter being a more modern, accurate and expensive alternative.

Laboratory – the cost of producing the final tooth (crown) which is shaped and built.

Patient's physical condition – age , oral hygiene, jaw bone anatomy – these factors may determine if additional treatments are needed or not.

Expertise/labor - the price paid for time spent treating the patient and paying for the dentists expertise and knowledge.

All the above factors are pretty standard in pricing and there aren't too many price variations with the exception of expertise/labor – the price paid for the dentist's time and knowledge!! This factor has the widest range and determines dental implant prices.



Dental implant prices vary any where from $2000 to $4500 - for a single restored tooth supported by a dental implant!! But the price can increase significantly in cases where additional procedures are needed (bone graft or sinus lift). The average cost for dental implant dentures is around $9000 - $14000 - This price can be reduced by 30% by using mini dental implants instead.

Since a dental implant procedure involves a few stages of surgery and restoration, the time and expertise involved are pretty costly. Even though prices are high you can still find a cheap dental implant by using these tips/ideas .

When searching the internet you can some times find banners of free dental implants.
