A:
There are many factors involved in the cost of dental implants. Cost is generally more than traditional restorative dentistry because the cost of the implant needs to be added to the cost of the new teeth. Cost relates to your bone structure, the position in your mouth, the number of teeth you need replaced, the type of implant, the type of crown or bridge, and the method by which the implant is placed. Except for one or two teeth usually you don’t need an implant for every tooth In general only 4-6 implants are needed for an entire jaw of teeth. Most patients consider implants to be an investment in their future. Not only do they feel better about their physical appearance, they are able to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Furthermore, once a tooth has been replaced, it seldom requires as much attention as a conventional restoration.
