Factors Affecting Cost
Preparatory procedures, type of implant and restoration, bone grafting and the need for sedation dentistry all factor into the total of your dental implant treatment. The number of dental implants needed will also be a factor of the cost. During your consultation, Dr. Fincher will ask about your goals and medical history to determine which variables will affect the cost.
Number of Dental Implants
Usually an implant is not required for every individual missing tooth. The amount of dental implants will vary from patient to patient. Price will increase with more implants. For example, the cost of a single traditional dental implant can range from $260 to $450. However, this price does not take into account other expenses and surgery. Another factor in estimating the cost of your implant is the type and size used. A mini dental implants will be less than a traditional implant post, but will not offer the same level of support.
Preexisting Oral Health Issues
If you have periodontal disease or other preexisting conditions, you will need treatment for these first in order to reduce the risk of implant failure.
Multiple Dental Implant Cost
If multiple teeth need replacement, you might be a candidate for All-On-4 dental implants. Instead of replacing several teeth with individual implants. Dr. Fincher can add 4 implants and then attach an implant supported bridge or full arch. This can help reduce costs.
Sedation Technique
While some patients prefer to simply receive local anesthetic to relieve physical discomfort, patients with dental phobia may need dental sedation. Which level of sedation you need to receive will effect the cost associated with your treatment. Ensuring the thorough, safe implementation of intravenous oral conscious sedation requires advanced equipment and the assistance of our in-house nurse anesthesiologist, which can increase the cost of treatment.
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift is a common procedure if the membrane is too close to the placed implant area. If this is the case, Dr. Fincher will need to elevate the sinus floor and increase the bone tissue in the upper jaw.
Preparatory Procedures
While Dr. Fincher typically includes the cost of an extraction in the starting price of an implant, other preparatory procedures such as a bone graft or sinus lift will add to it. If you are undergoing extensive restorative work, Dr. Fincher may be able to perform these procedures free of charge. However, for more extensive bone atrophy cases, we may need to refer you to an outside specialist.
Our office is happy to help you design a financing plan to help you enjoy the benefits of dental implants for years to come.
Choice of Restoration
Although 90 percent of our tooth replacement cases are restored with implant-retained crowns, other patients may require dental bridges or dentures. In general, the cost of replacing a single missing tooth with a dental crown is much lower than replacing a full arch of teeth with implant-supported dentures.
Type of Materials
The type of implant you choose can alter overall cost. For patients who want to lower the cost of their treatment, Dr. Fincher may be able to place All-on-4® dental implants. This technique only requires four strategically placed implant posts rather than single-tooth implants, reducing the number of materials and surgery time needed. You can require an implant-supported dental crown, bridge, or dentures each can incur their own costs. If you choose custom abutments or ceramic implants to for a more aesthetic result, the cost will also rise.

Still Unsure If Dental Implants Are Worth It?
EXPLORE THE BENEFITS OF THIS RESTORATIVE TREATMENT
A More Durable Solution
If you have been using a traditional bridge or denture to replace missing teeth, dental implants can greatly improve your quality of life. Unlike traditional solutions that can shift or slip when eating and speaking, implant-supported replacement teeth are firmly anchored in the jawbone and stay in place at all times. They can be cared for with regular brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth. This makes dental implants a more stable and comfortable option for replacing missing teeth.
Prevent Further Tooth Loss
When you bite down, the stimulation from your tooth roots sends a signal to your body to maintain bone tissue in the jaw. However, if you lose your tooth roots, the jawbone may deteriorate. This can lead to further tooth loss and the need for additional dental work, as well as changes in the shape of your face and wrinkles around your mouth. Dental implants are the only treatment for tooth loss that can stimulate the jawbone and prevent these negative consequences. By replacing the missing tooth roots, dental implants can help preserve the strength and structure of your jawbone.
should you invest in dental Implants?
We know that the cost of restoring your smile can be a large investment for some patients. Dental Implants are the only solution that protect the health of your jawbone and have a much higher level of stability over traditional restorations. When choosing dental implants and the cost associated, you are investing in a healthy smile.
