Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timberridgedental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> are a life-changing tooth replacement option that can significantly impact your day-to-day activities. While they provide many additional benefits when compared to dentures and dental bridges, they are more of an investment. Continue reading to learn which factors influence their cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type of Dental Implant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple different ways that dental implants can be placed. Many times, the implant is surgically placed, and the incision is stitched. After a few months, a second surgery takes place to install the abutments. This is often done if bone grafting is needed to ensure the stability of the implant. In other cases, a longer implant is placed in a single surgery. This will depend on your unique case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Number of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The more implants you have placed, the more your procedure will cost. This is one of the many reasons why people who are missing multiple teeth may opt for fewer dental implants or an alternative tooth replacement option, like dentures or dental bridges. You should discuss your options with your dentist to put together a plan that best meets your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preliminary Procedures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to have other procedures completed before you can have dental implants placed, this should be considered when you are looking at the cost. For example, some patients need a sinus lift or bone grafting before they are ready for dental implants. These treatments will contribute to the overall cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients who have existing dental issues, like gum disease, will need to have it treated ahead of time. Additional precautions may be taken as well to cater to these problems. This can contribute to the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Location of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, it costs more to have dental implants placed in the front of the mouth, like a front tooth, because it requires additional attention to detail to match the exact angle of your jawbone. Depending on the location of your missing tooth, additional techniques may be needed as well. This is all to ensure that your implant is placed in a perfectly secure, precise spot for the utmost success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all factors that will contribute to the cost of treatment. To find out a more precise estimate of the price of dental implants, schedule a consultation with your dentist. This way, you will know exactly what to expect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Timber Ridge Dental, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timberridgedental.com\/meet-dr-bowles.html\">Dr. Mark Bowles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timberridgedental.com\/meet-dr-may.html\">Dr. Tyler May<\/a> are working together to serve patients in Heber City.
