💰 Dental Implants • What They Are and How Much Implants Cost 💰

What is a dental implant? Dr. O explains what an implant does, its parts, and the cost. He also discusses WHY you should replace a missing tooth with a dental implant for your longterm health. A dental implant is made up of three main components. Fixture - This is the titanium root that goes into the bone. The bone heals around and integrates with the fixture to provide stability. Attachment - Commonly called an abutment, this is what is screwed into the fixture to act as the base of the crown. Crown - This is the replacement tooth that is attached to the implant. One common concern is how long it takes to receive an implant. The actual guided implant procedure is very quick, but you typically need to wait 3-4 weeks after having the tooth extracted before the implant can be placed. If the tooth is already missing, the implant may be able to be placed immediately. For the crown placement, the tooth position will play a role in determining timing. For chewing teeth or back teeth behind your canine teeth, you will need to way at least 3 months, but typically 4-6 months before having the crown placed. When the crown is placed, we call this immediate loading. Back teeth need for the implant to heal and integrate with the bone before being loaded to keep it from moving until it has integrated to provide stability to your tooth. On the other hand, front teeth between the canines can typically have crows placed same day. These are for cosmetic purposes only and should not be used for chewing until the implant has had time to integrate with the bone for stability. Pricing for implants can be very confusing. This is mainly due to the multiple parts, that may also be performed by multiple offices. When comparing the price of implants, you must compare the total cost of all parts. At Innovative Dental, we provide pricing as a total package cost to simplify the process for our patients. When looking at dental insurance, be sure to ask about a Missing Tooth Clause. In general, if you are missing a tooth when you purchase a policy with such a clause, they will not pay anything to replace that tooth. While an implant does replace a single tooth, it actually helps restore balance to your full mouth and gives your teeth stability. When you are missing a tooth, things begin to shift and your bite doesn’t stay the same. You will begin to use your other teeth more to make up for the one missing tooth. Over time, this can lead to more expensive and extensive treatments down the road. One of the most expensive things you can do is leave a missing chewing tooth as this will lead to more expensive issues later on. Dental implants are the longest lasting dental treatment that we can offer for a missing tooth.
