These incredible implants can perfectly restore the look, feel, <em>and<\/em> full functionality of your lost pearly whites and provide you with a dazzling new smile and unparalleled boost in confidence! That said, you might be curious about receiving dental implants for yourself, but you have questions about the price tag. Keep reading to learn about four of the key factors that determine the cost of dental implants. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: How Many Teeth Need to Be Replaced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, the more teeth you need replaced, the more implants you\u2019ll need\u2014and logically, this means a higher total cost of treatment! If you only need one or two teeth replaced, your bill won\u2019t run too high; but if you have multiple lost teeth or an entire row that needs to be replaced, you\u2019re looking at a much higher total cost. In these instances, it\u2019s sometimes worth considering other alternatives like bridges or dentures, as they\u2019re also quite effective at replacing multiple lost teeth in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Additional Oral Surgeries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients might need dental implants, but their mouth isn\u2019t <em>quite<\/em> ready for them just yet. In some instances, the jawbone doesn\u2019t have sufficient density for supporting implants\u2014here, a dental bone graft might be necessary to fortify the existing bone matter. In other cases, sometimes something like a tooth extraction is necessary before you can receive implants. Your individual circumstances will determine what needs to happen before you receive implants; if you\u2019re lucky and your mouth is healthy, you might already be good to get them! However, if any additional oral surgeries are necessary, they will inevitably drive up the total cost of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Location of Teeth &amp; Placement Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, front teeth are often more expensive to replace, as your dentist must ensure that the solution carefully matches the angle of your jawline and doesn\u2019t negatively influence your bite pattern. Your dentist also has to utilize various placement methods, depending on the teeth that are being replaced and the complexity of the solution. Static placement requires scans to be taken of your mouth to create guides for surgical placement, while dynamic placement uses computer software to guide the surgeon\u2019s hand during placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: Patient\u2019s Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how many teeth you need replaced or where the implants need to go, one thing your dentist will have to confirm is that you\u2019re eligible for dental implants\u2014and this will depend greatly on your overall oral health. If you have untreated gum disease or any other serious oral health concerns, they\u2019ll need to be treated before you can move forward with the implant process. The total cost can also rise if there are any extra precautions that need to be taken before the implant procedure. Simply put, the better your oral health is, the less likely you\u2019ll have to spend extra on treatment costs before receiving implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the factors that determine the cost of dental implants can help you to make an informed decision about how to replace your lost teeth and restore your smile to a beautiful state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Philip A.
