A complete, functional smile can make all the difference in your confidence, health, and overall quality of life. At Glacial Sands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Bennett helps patients restore their smiles with precise, minimally invasive dental implant treatment. Understanding the factors that affect the cost of dental implants can help you make an informed investment in your long-term oral health.
Your Personalized Consultation
Every dental implant journey begins with a detailed consultation. During this visit, Dr. Bennett evaluates your oral and overall health, reviews diagnostic imaging, and creates a personalized treatment plan.
This initial step helps determine the procedures needed and provides a clear outline of expected costs. Patients are encouraged to ask questions and explore all available options before moving forward with care.
During the consultation, Dr. Bennett assesses:
- The condition of your gums and jawbone
- The number of teeth being replaced
- Whether additional procedures (such as bone grafting or sinus lift) are required
Factors That Influence Dental Implant Costs
The total investment in dental implants depends on your specific treatment plan. Common factors include:
Number of Implants
A single prosthetic root (implant) may be sufficient to replace one tooth, while patients missing several teeth may need multiple implants or a full-arch restoration. Combining implants can often be more efficient and economical for long-term stability.
Bone Health and Regeneration
For patients with bone loss, regenerative procedures such as bone grafting or augmentation may be necessary to create a strong foundation for the implant. These techniques not only improve implant success but also support long-term jawbone health and facial structure.
Position of the Implant
Implants placed in more visible or complex areas of the mouth may involve additional planning to ensure ideal aesthetics and natural-looking results.
Materials and Technology
Glacial Sands OMS uses advanced, biocompatible materials and guided surgical technology to enhance precision, comfort, and healing. These innovations contribute to predictable outcomes and long-lasting results.
Additional Procedures
Depending on your individual case, treatment may include:
- Tooth extraction
- Bone grafting or augmentation
- Sinus lift (for upper jaw implants)
- Placement of the metal implant
- Custom restoration (crown)
- Post-operative visits and imaging
A Lasting Investment
While dental implants may have a higher initial cost compared to bridges or dentures, they are built for lasting strength and designed to remain secure and functional for many years with proper care. Because they integrate directly with the jawbone, implants help preserve bone structure and facial contours, making them a worthwhile investment in both appearance and health.
Financing and Payment Options
Dental implants are a valuable investment in both comfort and confidence. Some insurance plans may cover portions of treatment. Glacial Sands OMS also partners with trusted healthcare financing providers that offer flexible monthly payment options to make treatment more accessible.
