Cost Considerations of Dental Implants
Before treatment begins, every effort will be made to give you an accurate estimate of all the expenses
involved in placing your dental implants and restoring your teeth. This includes the implant placement itself
plus any bone and soft tissue grafting procedures that are needed. In many cases, there is an initial charge
for the diagnostic work, including any study models, x-rays and the fabrication of a surgical template to
ensure the best possible result. You will also be charged for the abutment (tooth support extension), plus the
crown, dentures, or anything else that will be placed over the implants, including temporary restorations,
as well as for period maintenance such as hygiene visits, tissue conditioners, denture relines and other repairs.
We will try to assist you in estimating what your actual payments will be after we evaluate your insurance
coverage or other third party payments. Your ultimate restorative choice should be guided by your sense of what
is best for you based on the information we have provided you. You should consider the financial impact of each
treatment option as some insurance companies provide no or limited coverage.
