At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, we understand that dental implants are a significant investment in both your oral health and quality of life. Dr. Daniel Reich, a board-certified periodontist, offers advanced implant solutions tailored to each patient’s needs. While the initial cost of dental implants may seem higher than traditional tooth replacement options, their long-term benefits far outweigh the expense.
The cost of dental implants varies based on several key factors, including:
Number of Implants Needed – Single tooth replacement costs less than full-arch restorations.
Bone Grafting Requirements – If bone loss has occurred, a bone graft may be needed to support the implant.
Type of Implant and Restoration – Costs vary depending on whether you need a single implant, implant-supported bridge, or full-mouth implants.
Surgical Complexity – Advanced cases requiring sinus lifts or ridge augmentation may involve additional costs.
Materials Used – High-quality titanium implants and custom-crafted restorations impact pricing.
Unlike dentures and dental bridges, which require periodic adjustments and replacements, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Here’s why implants provide better long-term value:
Longevity – Traditional dentures and bridges may need replacement every 5-10 years, whereas implants can last decades.
Jawbone Preservation – Implants stimulate bone growth, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
Enhanced Quality of Life – Enjoy better chewing function, clearer speech, and improved confidence without the discomfort of removable dentures.
When considering the cost of dental implants, it’s essential to look beyond the initial price and focus on their long-term benefits.
One of the major advantages of dental implants is their ability to preserve jawbone density. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone deteriorates over time. This can lead to:
Titanium implants fuse with the bone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth while preventing bone loss.
