At Lakeview Dental in Lakeville, NY, Dr. Brian Hirschfield provides personalized dental implant treatments tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Because every case is different, the cost of dental implants can vary significantly. Here, we explain the factors that influence the cost and how we strive to make this life-changing treatment more affordable for our patients.
Factors Influencing the Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of dental implants is determined by several key factors:
- Number of Implants: The total cost increases with the number of implants needed to restore your smile. A single tooth replacement typically costs between $3,700 and $4,000, whereas more extensive full-mouth restorations can range from $15,000 to $30,000.
- Preparatory Procedures: Some patients may require additional procedures such as bone grafts or extractions before implant placement. These preparatory treatments are priced separately and will add to the overall cost.
- Type of Restoration: The complexity of the implant-supported restoration, whether a crown, bridge, or denture, also affects the cost. Additionally, the choice of material for these restorations can impact the price.
- Sedation Options: While some procedures can be completed under local anesthesia, others may require more advanced sedation techniques administered by a licensed anesthesiologist, which incurs additional fees.
Making Dental Implant Treatment More Affordable
We understand that the cost of dental implants can be a concern, but there are several options available to help manage these expenses:
Financing Plans
Lakeview Dental accepts flexible financing through CareCredit® and LendingClub™, offering plans with little to no interest, which allows for manageable monthly payments.
Insurance Coverage
While dental implants are often not covered by insurance, related aspects of the treatment, such as the restorative crown, bridge, or denture, may be partially covered. Our office works diligently with most major insurance providers to maximize your benefits.
Despite being one of the more costly options in restorative dentistry, dental implants are a worthwhile investment. They provide unmatched stability and functionality compared to traditional prosthetics and are the only solution that prevents jawbone deterioration. This unique benefit helps maintain facial structure and oral health, potentially reducing future dental costs. Most patients find that the benefits, including the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, justify the initial expense.
