Transparency

The frustration I have as a prosthodontist in helping people make life-changing decisions regarding their smile is the transparency around pricing for dental implants.

For the consumer, it’s very frustrating when shopping for the best price for dental implants. There can be a dental chain like Clear Choice that advertises the lowest price to get a person in the front door only to use a marketing team to upsell when they are in the chair, and down the street, a local prosthodontist may be quoting $10,000 higher in price.

But is that an accurate comparison?

The answer is no.

What Influences Cost for Dental Implants?

I’m about to give you the answer, but first, when it comes to dental implants, let me share the eight most prevalent influences on price. They are:

  1. The number of teeth that will require extraction.
    Though this is a minimal impact on price, it is an influence.
  2. A CT scan is highly recommended.
    It is a nominal fee, but again it does influence the final price.
  3. The method of sedation for your dental implant surgery will impact price.
    Oral sedation is the least expensive and most commonly quoted upfront. If you choose intravenous (IV) sedation, the costs are quite higher. General anesthesia will impact your price significantly.
  4. If you do not have sufficient bone in your jaw for implants, it will likely be necessary for a bone graft to build up and reinforce the bone.
    This will be a significant impact on the costs of dental implants.
  5. The number of implants needed will significantly impact the cost.
    Do you need upper jaw, lower jaw, or both?
  6. The level of implant surgery required.
    I like to break this down into three levels.Level 1: If you have adequate bone in your jaw to place dental implants, Level 1 will apply to you. About 80 to 85% of patients will fit into this category.

    Level 2: If you have an adequate bone or substantially-sized upper sinuses, Level 2, which is more costly, will apply to you. About 5 to 10% of patients will fit into this category.

    Level 3: If you lack quality bone for dental implants, Level 3, which is the most expensive, will apply to you. This category will apply to about 3 to 5% of patients.
  7. Getting teeth the same day.
  8. And the factor that can influence the price significantly is the quality of the final teeth.
    There are many options for your final restorations from the less expensive titanium and acrylic resin teeth to the very best but costly titanium and zirconia restorations. The right prosthodontist will show you the pros and cons of each option to help you make an informed decision.
