Understanding Dental Implants Cost: A Comprehensive Guide

When considering dental implants, one of the first questions many patients have is, "How much do dental implants cost?" It is a valid concern, as dental implants represent a significant investment in your oral health.

Here at Team Perio, serving both Redding, CA, and Reno, NV, we are committed to providing transparent information about dental implant cost to help you make an informed decision.

What Influences Your Dental Implants Investment?

Several factors determine the cost of dental implants:

1. Your Individual Treatment Plan
   The cost of dental implants can significantly vary depending on the individual treatment plan required for each patient. For instance, some patients may need additional procedures such as bone grafting if there isn't sufficient bone to support the implant. Some patients may need extra care to ensure their gum health is adequate before we place dental implants. These requirements not only add to the complexity of the treatment but also to the overall cost. When you come in for your examination, we will customize a plan just for you.
2. The Number of Implants Needed
   The number of dental implants you require directly influences the overall cost of your treatment. A single implant to replace one missing tooth is less expensive than multiple implants needed to restore several missing teeth. For those that need all of their teeth removed, or already have a denture, options like snap-on dentures or All-on-4 implants offer a cost-effective solution by using fewer implants to support a full set of dentures or permanent set of teeth.
3. Location of Teeth
   The location in your mouth requiring an implant, plays a role in determining the overall cost of your dental implant procedure. As one example, upper back teeth are often close to a large sinus cavity called the maxillary sinus. Many patients need a sinus lift procedure to provide enough bone height to place an implant.

At Team Perio, we understand all of the nuances involved in your oral health and strive to provide detailed consultations to assess and plan your treatment, ensuring that you receive the most effective and cost-efficient solution tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to ensure that you’re fully informed about all aspects of your treatment.

What is the Average Cost?

At Team Perio, the price range for a single dental implant can vary, on average you are looking at an investment around $2400 before any dental insurance contribution, if applicable. This cost encompasses essential components of the implant procedure. However additional treatments, such as tooth removal, bone grafting, gum tissue grafting, sinus lift procedures, or gum health treatments needed to make your mouth healthy enough for dental implants, may affect the final cost. Please note, this fee covers the implant and implant surgery itself; the crown and abutment is completed separately by your general dentist. The crown is the part you will see in your mouth and chew with, and the abutment is what connects the crown to the dental implant. Your general dentist will let you know about the cost of the abutment and final crown.

We get a lot of questions about full mouth implant surgery related to hybrid dentures (All-on-4) and snap-on dentures. Because the complexity is high, and there can be a lot of variables, it is often hard to give a fixed cost. Permanent hybrid dentures (surgery only) range from $9,000 - $16,000 per arch. Snap-on dentures range from $4800- $16,000 per arch. We often offer snap-on dentures where all of the implants are connected by a custom titanium bar, a bar overdenture. Bar overdentures range from $9,000-$16,000 per arch. Keep in mind that the above prices are for the dental implants, dental implant surgery, or any treatment completed by our surgery specialists at Team Perio. Additional fees for the denture, bar, attachments, etc will be with your general dentist.

Investing in Your Health and Happiness

Choosing dental implants is an investment not only in your smile but in your overall well being.
