Cost of Dental Implants – South Windsor, CT
Invest in a Long-term Treatment
Are you ready to invest in a permanent option to replace your missing teeth? Dental implants might be the solution for you. Although you’ve heard about their benefits, it is normal to be concerned about their cost. It’s not a secret they are more expensive than traditional methods; however, they are more affordable long-term. Here’s what you can expect to pay when replacing your missing teeth with dental implants.
What are the Types of Dental implants?
Believe it or not, there are several types of dental implants. Besides different materials, there are also several restorations and abutments to choose from. As a result, the cost of the treatment is determined by your individual needs. There are multiple factors that influence the price, like the number of teeth you’re replacing. Dr. Curcio will provide you with a custom estimate during your initial consultation and discuss the fees associated with your treatment, such as:
Single Unit
On average, you can expect to pay:
- Dental Implant: $1,000 to $3,000
- Abutment & Crown: $500 to $3,000
- Total Cost: $4,000 per implant on average.
Implant-Retained Bridge
1-2 dental implants are used to anchor your bridge to your jawbone. They cost about $4,000 depending on the number of teeth you’re treating.
Mini Dental Implant
If you’ve lost bone density, you might be a candidate for mini dental implants, which can range from $500 to $30,000 depending on your treatment plan.
Implant-Retained Dentures
4 to 10 dental implants can secure your denture to your jaw. On average, it costs around $30,000.
Why are Dental Implants More Expensive?
Dental implants cost more than traditional treatments because they recreate the tooth from the root up. This requires a multi-phased treatment plan that can take several months to complete. Each step in your treatment will have several costs.
Although dental implants are initially more expensive, they are more affordable long-term because they are proven to last for decades with the right aftercare. As a result, you’ll never need to worry about paying to have them replaced to lower your overall dental expenses.
How Should I Budget for Dental Implants?
Paying for dental implants is more affordable than you might realize because the entire amount isn’t due upfront. Instead, you can pay for each step in your plan separately, which may include:
- Initial consultation
- Additional procedures
- Implant placement surgery
- Abutment procedure
- Restoration
Does My Dental Insurance Cover the Procedure?
Every policy differs, but most dental insurances can be used to lower the cost of certain steps in your treatment after hitting your annual deductible, like the restorations.
