The Cost of Dental Implants

Compared to other teeth replacement treatments such as bridges or dentures, dental implants will cost more, in general, especially in the beginning. A dental bridge or denture can cost up to $5,000 while dental implants can cost ten times that much for patients replacing an entire mouth of teeth. A single dental implant restored with a dental crown for one missing tooth can range from $3,000 to $4,500 according to American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

It is important to note that dental implants offer many more benefits for your health, appearance and overall well-being. Also, the cost of maintaining and replacing your traditional bridge or denture can add up over the years and actually exceed the cost of dental implants.

To accurately estimate the cost of your treatment, Dr. Engelberg will need to conduct a thorough evaluation of your mouth, jaw, teeth, gums and medical history. There are many factors that go into the total cost of teeth implants:

  • The location of the missing teeth along an arch
  • The size and type of the implants needed
  • The number of implants being placed (typically between 1-8)
  • Insufficient bone density may require a bone graft
  • The need for extractions
  • The need for other oral health treatments such as gum disease treatment
  • Do you have dental insurance and will they cover any portion of the treatment?
