Dental implants - just how expensive are they?

What's involved in the surgery and how long for recovery?

Dental implants - just how expensive are they?
Yes, an oral surgeon would need to do this.


While a basic implant is typically $1,250. to $3,000., depending on your circumstances additional costs for things such as in the case of a posterior mandible, bone regeneration, sinus elevation, and wide diameter or narrow diameter implants quickly escalate to as much as $15,000 to $30,000. for the complete procedure for the upper or lower jaw.
Reply:Very worth it! It is costly, about $3000 per tooth, but they functions and looks like real teeth. If you have the money and patience, and of course you need proper bone levels to hold the implant, go for it!





You never have to worry about cavities, fillings and the pain associated with them again!





They clean out the socket and implant a titanium post that is screwed into the jaw bone. They wait a few months to make sure the post interacts well and is not rejected by your body. They usually fit you with a temporary tooth, so you don't walk around with a big hole, or if yor comfortable with the hole, they will just leave it. About 3-9 months later, they bring you back and fit you with your new tooth.





The most painful part of the procedure is the extraction and shortly after, they surgically implant the titanium post. Pain meds will be prescribed if you need them.





Titanium is used because it doesn't rust and is generally well accepted by your body.





Hope that helps! Enjoy!
