Introduction
After losing one or more teeth, it is essential to regain a smile as soon as possible. Today, many dentists recommend implant-supported dentures. This is the only restoration option that replaces both the root and crown of the missing tooth, making it an ideal treatment option for restoring the natural look, feel, and function of a smile. Many patients hesitate to replace the missing tooth with a dental implant because this solution is more expensive than other options. However, for many patients, the benefits outweigh the initial and time investment required to complete the dental prosthesis process. Berryessa Dental is pleased to offer an Affordable Dental Implant option.
Costs associated with replacing Dental Implants
The dentist shows the patient’s dental implant model. Most of the price of dental implants comes from the cost of the dental implants themselves. Implant posts can cost in the range of $ 500 to $ 3,000 (and possibly more), depending on the size, type, and material used. However, many other factors affect the overall cost of treatment.
- Preliminary procedures such as tissue transplantation and tooth extraction
- Sedative dentistry to make the patient feel comfortable during treatment
- Replacement tooth or multiple teeth
- Continuous maintenance and treatment to ensure continuous health and function
Dental insurance and funding
Unfortunately, most dental insurance does not cover the cost of dental implants and their placement. However, more insurers are now offering coverage for these treatments, and our team hopes that more dental insurers will offer coverage for implant denture plans shortly. I’m out. Dental implants are not covered by most insurance but often cover the cost of other parts of the treatment, such as preparatory procedures, tooth replacement, and dental sedation. We are pleased to be able to fund dental implants through Care Credit and iCare Financial. We also accept payments from patients who have flexible savings accounts and health savings accounts.
What makes dental implants valuable?
The entire implant-supported denture process takes more than a year and can cost thousands of dollars. Many patients want to know why these services are valuable. Some of the reasons patients choose dental implants are: Longer lasting results compared to other denture options. With proper care, many patients retain the same implant for over 20 years. Stability is improved thanks to the natural support provided by the dental implant post. This is especially true for patients using partial or complete dentures with implant support. While these restorations traditionally restore 10-20% of masticatory function, implant prostheses restore more than 70% of natural masticatory function. The result of a natural look and feel that gives you the confidence to talk, chew and laugh in any situation.
