The Ultimate Guide to Dental Implants and Prices

Are you considering getting dental implants and wondering about the prices involved? Look no further, as we delve into everything you need to know about dental implants at Wupdoc Medical Centers.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are designed to match your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

- Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth.

- Enhanced Speech: With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that your teeth might slip.

- Enhanced Comfort: Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.

- Easier Eating: Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.

Types of Dental Implants

There are two main types of dental implants:

Endosteal Implants

These are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post individually or grouped on a bridge or denture.

Subperiosteal Implants

These consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through the gums. Artificial teeth are then mounted onto these posts.

Dental Implant Prices

The cost of dental implants can vary based on several factors, including:

1. Number of Implants: The overall price will depend on how many implants you need.
2. Material Used: There are different materials available for dental implants, each with its own price point.
3. Location of the Clinic: Prices might differ based on the geographical location of the clinic.
4. Experience of the Dentist: Highly experienced dentists may charge more for their services.
