Are implants expensive?
A. Implants are indeed more expensive than more traditional methods of tooth replacement. The higher cost is due to the fact that there is a surgical phase to the treatment, and also that the process of fabricating the final restoration to fit over the implant is a much more intricate process than what is involved in making a partial denture or a traditional fixed bridge. However, the higher cost is counterbalanced by the fact that, at times, an implant can be a longer-lasting, more maintenance-free, and a more conservative treatment choice.
