How much are dental IMPLANTS?
• First thing to realize is that dental implants need two phases. The first phase is the surgical phase where the implant fixture is placed into the bone. There must be enough bone thickness and height to support the implant. If not, then we are looking at doing bone augmentation prior to the implant surgery. Once the implant is placed, then there is a restorative phase, where the patient is fitted for a crown. Typically, these crowns are on specially fit abutements and they are precision milled by the implant company to secure tightly to the fixture which has integrated into the bone. So, there is a surgical fee, and a restorative fee. There are so many options on type of implants, how many you are doing at once, whether we need to place bone augmentation prior, or use a surgical stent to guide the implant placement and what type of temporary crown or bridge will the patient be wearing in the meantime, that it would be unwise to present a fee without the big picture. We will be happy
