In dentistry, dental implants have gained a popular reputation for their real appearance and longevity. The process is prescribed for replacing the tooth (teeth) and giving a beautiful look to the overall oral structure.

Though dental implants are a guaranteed treatment with very little discomfort, people often take their step back. And the reason is cost.

The process is costly, but not for all. The cost of the treatment depends on the service provider, your condition, and many other factors.

In this post, we have discussed the factors that influence the cost of dental implants.

Location of the dental clinic (big or small city)

The location of the dental clinic plays a major role in determining the cost of the service. If the clinic is located in larger cities, the cost will be higher as other related costs are comparatively high as compared to smaller cities. The expenses incurred by the dental clinics are taken through the services offered by them.

Experience/certification of the dentist

The certification and experience levels of dental implant surgeons are not the same. And these attributes make a major difference in the cost of the procedure. If the doctor is less-qualified, he may resort to lowering their prices to attract new clients. On the other hand, if the dentist is experienced, he will charge high because their implants last for a lifetime. There is no need for process redoing.

Number of teeth for implant

Another factor to define the cost of a dental implant is the number of teeth to be treated. If you are looking for full-mouth restoration, the cost will higher as compare to a single tooth. There is a condition in the costing. Some providers charge a fee for each required implant and abutment placed, while others charge a fixed price for any number of implants in a full restoration. You should discuss this at the initial cost.

Type of material used

The implants are made from titanium, but the prosthetic teeth may vary in material quality and cost. The two common materials used for prosthetic teeth are acrylic and zirconia. Zirconia is the highest quality material that is designed to last a lifetime. The initial cost of the zirconia is high but it’s cost-effective in the long-term. They are less likely to break or wear out. You shouldn’t choose cheaper quality material as it would require repair or replacement later on.

Use of anesthesia in the procedure

With the advancement in dentistry, the use of anesthesia has also changed. Dentists have three anesthesia options for dental implants and they are local anesthesia, general anesthesia, and IV sedation.

In local anesthesia, an injection or swab of medicine is used to numb the area being treated.
In IV sedation, a needle is placed in a vein through which medication is administered to sedate the patient.
In general anesthesia, the dentist places the patients in a state of sleep in which the central nervous system is inhibited.
Usually, general anesthesia is used because it protects unwanted objects from entering the lungs. It’s costly but effective.

Quality of bone

Dental implants are impossible if your jaw bone quality is not or not strong enough to hold the implant. In either case, your procedure time will increase for the dentists. They have to perform a pre-treatment for strengthening the bones. Once your jawbones are strong, the dentists will start the implant. The processes for strengthening the jawbones are sinus lift, bone grafting, and zygomatic implants. The cost of these procedures will determine the overall cost of the dental implants.

Considering these factors, we hope it will be easy for you to determine the cost of the procedure and choose the right service provider.
