What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that serves as a tooth root within your jaw. Once the implant is surgically placed, bone cells grow around its threads and over the course of some months harden into bone. The implant then becomes a fixed part of your body and it can be used to support a crown, a bridge, or a denture.
Advantages of dental implants
A dental implant is a great option to replace your missing tooth for several reasons. First of all, it is a long-lasting investment because once the implant is integrated into hard bone it becomes part of you, and with good care it will serve its purpose for many years. Unlike dentures or partials, a dental implant involves inexpensive maintenance, since regular cleanings, brushing, and flossing will do the trick. Finally, since an implant permits an individual restoration, other teeth will not be involved in the replacement of the missing tooth, as in the case of bridges or partials.
Cost for dental implants
There are many advantages to get a dental implant, but no one will deny they have a reputation for costliness. The reason dental implants are expensive is that they are a product of continuous scientific investigation performed by different brand houses. Dental implants are not just titanium screws. There has been thought and experimentation behind their shape, their material, their design, and their methods of placement. This applied knowledge is ordered toward higher success rates and greater safety for the patient.
In addition, the placement and restoration of dental implants always involves many parts. These are tools that help the dentist and the lab create a functional product. Without these, the implant is virtually useless. They include burs, screws, copings, analogs, wrenches, and caps. Not to mention that each of these must be purchased separately, and each size and brand of implant will require a new set.
Technically speaking, the cost for a dental implant involves only the fee for the implant and its surgical placement. However, most patients refer to the cost of a completed implant case when they inquire about its cost. To clarify, we will divide the treatment into three stages: extraction and bone preparation, the surgical placement of the implant, and the final restoration.
