For most people, the cost of dental treatment is an important factor when deciding what procedures to have and if they will offer value for money. Good dental treatment often isn’t cheap. You need to account for the years the dentist spent training, the cost of setting up and running a dental office, and any equipment and dental materials related to dentistry tend to be very expensive. This is because they are often the result of years of extensive research and development, particularly dental implants.
Dental implant treatment is becoming increasingly popular and is often the treatment of choice for missing teeth or those who face losing teeth soon. However, some people may initially be put off by the seemingly high cost of treatment without considering all the benefits offered by this procedure. No other form of tooth replacement offers the chance to enjoy such strong, stable, and natural-looking teeth. With the right treatment and after-care, dental implant teeth can last problem-free for many years. Some people may even enjoy their implants for life.

What about the Costs?
Initially, the cost of dental implant treatment can be higher compared with other procedures, but it’s worth remembering this is a long-term solution that, over time, can become far more cost-effective while providing you with all the benefits of implant treatment. It is difficult to put a price on the cost of a dental implant because it can vary tremendously.
Several factors can affect the price of your implant treatment.
These include:
- The type of implant system selected
- The number of dental implants
- Whether you need bone grafting or gum grafting beforehand
- Whether you need failing teeth removed
- The type of implant restorations selected
The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the specific type of implant system chosen, whether it’s a front tooth implant, mini dental implants, all-on-4 dental implants, or full mouth dental implants. Each type offers unique benefits and requires different procedures, impacting the overall price of treatment.
The only way to find out for sure is to see a good dental implant dentist. They can assess your mouth, carry out diagnostic tests, and talk to you about all possible procedures. Your implant dentist should provide you with a complete breakdown of all the costs involved. If you have dental insurance, some of these costs may be covered. While dental insurance didn’t tend to cover implants in the past, it’s becoming far more common for implant treatment to be regarded as necessary and not a cosmetic procedure.
If you need additional treatments like bone or gum grafting, your implant dentist will fully explain the procedure, including why it is necessary and the benefits provided. Sometimes, more than one treatment may be available, especially if you need multiple teeth restoring. For example, an implant-supported denture is very cost-effective and affordable, whereas an implant bridge made from high-quality zirconia will cost more. An implant denture is removable and clips onto the dental implants in your jawbone, but an implant bridge is nonremovable. It is generally screwed onto the implants, so it can only be taken out for maintenance by your implant dentist.

When hearing they could have a nonremovable set of teeth, most people will automatically want this treatment and might be disappointed if they hear it is a little out of their reach. However, those who opt for an implant secured denture are generally extremely happy with the outcome, enjoying teeth that are far more stable and much stronger than an ordinary denture. With an implant-supported denture, there is no risk that teeth can move around embarrassingly and uncomfortably, and it’s much easier to eat a greater range of foods. If you are in this position, listen to what your implant dentist has to say carefully, as you might be just as happy with an implant denture as with a permanently fixed bridge.
