Dental Implant: Cost
Every person’s mouth is different and the cost of each plan to use implants is different too. Your Alpha Dental Center dentist can evaluate your situation and your smile and provide you with an individualized estimate of what your work will cost, to help you decide if you want this treatment. Call our office for a consultation and we can also help you learn about potential financing options.
What Affects the Cost of Treatment?
- Treatment may involve just one implant for a crown, or several to support a bridge or denture.
- The type of implant ranges from full-size titanium posts to ceramic or mini dental implants. We prefer full-size titanium for the advantages of strength and cost.
- Preparatory procedures to prepare the jaw for implants are an additional cost. Some patients need this extra step.
- The cost of the surgery: Sedation or anesthesia, surgeon’s fees, facility fees (if any), and preparatory scans all lead to widely varying costs.
- The cost of the crowns, dentures, or bridges, which are the visible part of the implant, is also significant. This varies depending on the substance used, such as porcelain or other durable and lifelike material.

Here are some basic guidelines on how to handle common dental emergencies:
- Toothache – see your dentist as soon as you feel pain or discomfort.
- Broken, chipped or cracked tooth – rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to your face and see your dentist right away. If the tooth was broken or chipped – bring the tooth fragment wrapped in wet gauze or a wet towel.
- Knocked-Out or Loosened Tooth – due to trauma, call your dentist. If the tooth was knocked out – if at all possible, gently insert the lost tooth back in its socket simply by holding the tooth by the crown using a clean washcloth. (In the event that the tooth is dirty, first rinse the root, but do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue). If reinsertion is not possible, hold the tooth under the tongue and see your dentist immediately.
- Broken Jaw – apply ice or cold compress to the face, go to your dentist or an emergency center immediately.
- Bitten Tongue or Lip – clean the area with a wet cloth, apply a cold compress on the area to reduce swelling. If bleeding persists or is too excessive, go to your dentist or emergency center.
It is important for good home dental care, it involves brushing and flossing your teeth regularly; and eating a mouth healthy diet, which means foods high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables along with dairy products. It is equally and important to schedule visits with your dentist and/or dental hygienist for regular checkups and cleanings to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Yes, genetics can also play a role in the health of your teeth and gums. Strong teeth, weak teeth, big teeth, small teeth, crooked teeth, susceptibility to cavities and even the potential to develop gum disease can be passed down from generation to generation. That is why it is so important to see your dentist regularly; your diet, dental care routine and frequency of visits to a dentist can turn around a potentially hopeless situation and develop a lifelong treatment plan, inclusive of habits that will address your potential weak spots.
