Concerned About the Cost of Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the number one choice for teeth replacement because they look and feel like real teeth. However, since they are the best solution, they are also the most costly option. Many people don’t even consider dental implants because they think they won’t be able to afford them.

The thing is though, you won’t really know how much implants will cost you until you make an appointment with your local oral surgeon. It could be a lot less than you may be assuming it to be. Cost varies depending on location of the missing teeth, the number of dental implants needed, and if any other services are required for the dental implants to be placed in your mouth, such as bone grafting. Plus, you have to take into account that they are fully customized based on your mouth.

Dental implants won’t put you at any risk of embarrassment during social interactions, unlike dentures which can slip or even affect your speech. Implants are securely anchored into your jawbone. They are also easy to clean and do not accumulate food particles.

The benefits of dental implants are endless, so it’s definitely worth booking a consultation so that you know for sure how much the cost would be. You could consider financing as well.

Can you really put a price tag on a better quality of life and having your confidence back? We don’t think so.

Can I Get Dental Implants?

Well, this is an easy answer. Basically, if you are over 18 and have lost a tooth or several teeth, chances are high that you can be a candidate for dental implants. The reason we say you should be over 18 is because your bone tissue is not fully developed and your jaw is still growing.

That said, you do need to be in good general health, just like with any type of surgical procedure. This includes not having periodontal disease or tooth decay. Plus, you would absolutely need to take care of any oral health issues before a dental surgeon would even consider giving you implants.

Other health issues that may prevent you from getting dental implants include:

  • Blood clotting disorders
  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Immune system problems
  • Cancer
  • Drug abuse

You would need to discuss all health issues and concerns with your doctor and dental surgeon to confirm 100% whether or not you are a candidate.

Lastly, if you are a smoker, it goes without saying that smoking is bad for your overall health. When it comes to implants specifically, it could really slow down your healing. Smoking is also not good for the ongoing health of your gums and bone structure. The moral of the story is this: if you want a healthy mouth and a successful dental implant surgery, stop smoking, period.
