Dental Implants Cost

Some of the factors that affect tooth implant cost include:

• Number of missing teeth
  If you need more than one tooth replaced, your treatment costs may be higher.
• Bone loss
  Patients with some degree of bone loss may need to undergo a bone graft which can influence the cost of treatment.
• Type of procedure
  Different types of dental implants have varying costs. We can discuss all of your options during your consultation.
• Sinus lift
  Some patients need to have a sinus lift before dental implants can be placed in the upper molar regions successfully.

  Untreated gum disease may require laser gum surgery before dental implants can be placed. This can affect overall tooth implant cost.
