Factors That Influence Your Dental Implant Cost
Several factors can impact the overall cost of dental implants, including:
- Implant Brand and Material: Dental implant manufacturers offer products made from different materials, such as titanium or zirconia. Manufacturers develop a variety of implants at different price points.
- Type of Restoration: Different restorations, such as single-tooth replacement, multiple teeth replacement, or full arch restoration, have varying costs. Multiple implants may be required, resulting in a higher cost.
- Jawbone Condition: If additional procedures like bone grafting are necessary, they can add to the cost.
- Technology Used: Implant & General Dentistry of Long Island uses advanced technology to deliver precise results. The cost may be influenced by imaging and surgical techniques, such as Invivo® 3D Imaging Software and X-Guide® 3D Navigational Systems.
- Anesthesia and Sedation: Anesthesia or dental sedation can eliminate discomfort and anxiety during oral surgery. The type used can impact the cost of the procedure.
- Expertise of the Dentist: The experience and qualifications of your dentist can affect pricing. Dr. Dean Glasser, with over 30 years of experience and more than 10,000 implants placed, provides top-tier care that reflects his expertise.
Additional Costs of Dental Implants
Beyond the primary cost of the implant, there are additional expenses to consider:
- Consultation Fees: Initial assessments and evaluations may have associated costs.
- Pre-Treatment Procedures: Treatments such as extractions, bone grafts, or sinus lifts can add to the expense.
- Abutment and Restoration: The abutment is a connector placed on top of the dental implant, linking it to the final restoration. The cost of both the abutment and the final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is an important part of the overall expense.
- Post-Operative Care: Follow-up visits, maintenance, and any necessary adjustments may incur additional charges.
Dental Insurance and Financing
Financing your dental implants can make the process more manageable. At Implant & General Dentistry of Long Island, we offer various financing options to accommodate your budget.
- Insurance Coverage: While dental insurance may cover part of the implant cost, it often depends on your specific plan and provider. We can assist in navigating insurance claims to maximize your benefits.
- Payment Plans: Flexible payment plans are available to spread the cost over time, making high-quality dental care accessible without financial strain.
