What is the Cost of Dental Implants, Approximately?

Cost of dental implants will vary quite a bit depending on where you live, the experience of the dentist, the amount of work needed for your teeth, the importance of the particular tooth and so on.

For example in Texas the Cost of dental implant is usually between $1800.00 - 2500.00 and the crown that goes on top of the tooth implant with an abutment kit is about $1200.00 - $2800.00. It really depends on where you live even in Texas. In Dallas, Houston the teeth implant cost would be higher whereas in the smaller towns it would be much less expensive. So the total would run you $3000.00 - $5300.00.

On the East coast of the US the abutment and crown will cost anywhere between $1,200-$1,800 and the tooth implant itself will cost anywhere between $1,200 - $2000 per tooth.

On average Cost of dental implant is $1,500-2,500 USD per tooth without the additional crown. But, depending on your teeth additional costs for things such as a posterior mandible or bone regeneration, sinus elevation, and wide diameter or narrow diameter implants can quickly escalate the costs involved to as much as $15,000 to $30,000 for the complete procedure for the upper or lower jaw.

It really does depend on the tooth. A front tooth or an important tooth like a molar will be much more costly than a tooth that is not that "important".

In Mexico, East European countries and India the Cost of dental implant is much cheaper than what you will pay in the US. The Cost of teeth implant can be less than half of what it costs in the US.

In the UK a single Cost of dental implant will be around £2000. Tooth implants will involves several trips to the dentist over a year or so. They have to screw metal screws into your bone and the gums have to heal before the implant can be fitted.

In the UK in the National Health Scheme you can get tooth implant only if you go to a teaching hospital and there is always a long waiting list for dental implants. A crown on National Health Scheme is £189.00 but most dentist only do it privately about £400.00. Cost of dental implant will be about £1500.00-£2000.

Dental Implants - An Ideal Way to Repair a Smile

Many people have experienced the loss of teeth due to a variety of reasons. This can lead to embarrassment or discomfort and even difficulty eating. Dental implants are an ideal way to counter tooth loss. The procedure is categorized as a form of prosthetic dentistry and cosmetic dentistry at the same time.

Any individual who has undergone the loss of teeth has a variety of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth. While they all work to a degree, no method has proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. They are so durable that, in many cases, they may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.

Teeth are lost through a variety of causes. These include:

- Tooth decay
- Root canal failure
- Periodontis/gum disease
- Trauma to the mouth
- Excessive wear and tear
- Birth Defects

The advantages of implant dentistry are numerous. For starters, the implants are stronger and more durable than restorative counterparts like bridges and dentures. Next, implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss. Furthermore, implants can be used with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness. As an example, a single implant can serve to support a crown replacing a single missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support a dental bridge or with dentures to increase stability and reduce gum tissue irritation.

Recent procedural advancements, like narrower mini implants, mean that more people are candidates for implants than ever before. While this is true, candidacy still varies so a dentist may determine that a patient should opt for an alternative restoration. Also, dentists do not need a specific license in order to perform implant dentistry. Prosthodontists are the specialists who often perform this procedure. Periodontists and oral surgeons perform the implant surgical procedure itself.

The dental implant process begins with preparing the jaw. A small diameter hole is drilled where there is not a tooth in order to guide the titanium screw that holds a dental implant in place. Once the screw is in place, it is given time to mold with the jaw. During this time, a protective cover screw is placed to allow the site to heal.

After several months, the cover is removed and a temporary crown is placed on top of the implant. The temporary crown acts as a guide for the gum to grow and shape itself in a natural way. The process is complete when the temporary crown is replaced with the permanent crown.

Dental Insurance to Cover the Cost of Dental Implants

Consider a few things. Have you spoken at length with your dentist about the procedure, what it involves, and getting down to the nitty gritty, what it will cost, including taxes, down to the last penny? If you presently do not have any kind of dental insurance, bear in mind that once you sign a policy with a company many plans clearly state that you must wait a year before you go ahead with any dental work. An option is to look to a dental HMO as many do not have any waiting periods whatsoever (or some do but it might be only a matter of months as opposed to a year). If you have an insurance policy that covers
dental work then congratulations, but look at your policy very closely and carefully as many policies cover such procedures as regular check ups, cleanings, fillings and extractions but not cosmetic procedures such as orthodontics and dental implants. Don't find yourself in a no-win situation by not doing your homework ahead of time.

Check you policy and see what it does (and does not) cover before you schedule an appointment for dental implant surgery. Some insurance policies do not cover conditions that were pre-existing before the policy began (for instance, broken or missing teeth), while others pay a certain amount or in some cases, pay for the "least expensive alternative treatment" (abbreviated to LEAT), according to the guidelines set down by the insurance company.

If you are considering choosing a new insurance plan and/or selecting one for the first time, you need to ask yourself a number of relevant questions found below.

First of all, if it is a plan that is offered by your workplace, are you as an employee allowed to pick your own dentist or will he/she be chosen for you? Secondly, is the kind of dental treatment you choose to undergo decided upon by yourself as the patient and the dentist, or there is a third party involved in the decision making process? Thirdly, does the insurance plan in question cover such services as diagnostic, emergency and preventative care? Preventative care would cover such things as fluoride treatments and sealants. Also would full-mouth x-rays be covered by the plan? (One a year? Two?)

The next question would be, what kind of routine dental work is covered under the policy? Are these types of dental work done- bridges, braces, crowns, root canals, treatment for periodontal disease and oral surgery? Does the insurance plan cover dental implants, dentures or treatment for temporomandibular disorders? If it does then how much does it cover in terms of percentages? Is emergency dental work covered by the dental plan? Finally, does the plan address referrals that come from dental specialists? Can a specialist be chosen by the patient or not?

Benefits of Dental Implants

In the past a missing tooth usually meant going to the dentist to be fitted for a bridge or a denture. This usually meant time without your tooth while you bridge was being made, then a life time of messy denture adhesives, and dealing with the pain of seeds and food particles becoming wedged between the denture and your gums. Fortunately, this is a thing of the past.

You have the advantage of being able to get a dental implant to replace a missing tooth. As long as the bone structure in your jaw is in reasonably good health, you can have a crown in place in just one visit. That means you will not have to wait while a replacement is being constructed, you will be able to resume your normal life without having to avoid certain foods, or being afraid to flash a nice smile.

Because a dental implant is a permanent solution, you will not have to mess with denture adhesives, or with special cleaning solutions. You will clean it with brushing and flossing, just like with your regular teeth. In fact, a crown will look, feel and function like the rest of your teeth. Most of the time you will forget that one of your teeth is not real.

Because the implant essentially becomes fused to your jaw bone, it will feel like your other teeth. It is matched to the color and size of your normal teeth, so it will look natural in your mouth. It will also function like the rest of your teeth; you will be able to eat the foods you want to eat.

One of the complaints of denture wearers is that it is more difficult to maintain a healthy diet because many fruits and vegetables are more difficult to eat. Berries are off the diet because of the seeds, and so is corn. Dental implants will allow you to eat all of these, plus a lot more.

The best part is, the procedure isn't any more painful that getting a filling. It is done with a local anesthetic, like Novocain, and you will receive a temporary crown on the day the implant is put in. Within a couple of months you will receive your permanent crown, and in most cases, you are through. For many people the implant will last the rest of their lives.

You don't have to put up with messy, uncomfortable temporary solutions to a missing tooth. You don't have to be afraid to smile, or to eat in public. A dental implant will allow you to enjoy your life like you did before you lost your tooth.
