When you look in the mirror and smile, you want to see your teeth looking their best, but you may have some dental issues keeping you from achieving your most beautiful smile. Fortunately, several dental procedures can improve the overall look of your smile, and dental implants are one such option. Still, you may wonder if they are an affordable option for you in Brisbane.
What Are Dental Implants?
The dental implant process involves the dentist placing a titanium alloy post into your jawline. Once your mouth has healed and the post has fused to your jaw, your dentist will add an abutment or connector to the post. The final step of the dental implant process occurs with your dentist placing a prosthetic tooth on top of the abutment.
Your dental implant will look and function like a real tooth; if you care for it properly, it can last a lifetime.
Do Certain Factors Affect the Dental Implant Cost?
When you consider what your dental implants will cost, you and your dentist need to talk and create a treatment plan specifically geared toward your dental needs. Because every person is different, dental implant costs can vary depending on the following factors:
- The number of dental implants your mouth needs
- Whether or not you need a bone graft
- Whether or not you need a sinus lift
The above factors will increase the amount of time your procedure will take, so they will also increase the total cost.
How Much Can Dental Implants Cost?
Considering that the dental implant process requires at least four visits to the dental clinic and will take several weeks to complete from start to finish, the range in cost for dental implants is as follows:
- The low-end cost for a dental implant is $3,000 per tooth without a bone graft or sinus lift.
- The high-end cost for a dental implant is $7,000 per tooth without a bone graft or sinus lift.
- With bone grafting or a sinus lift, a dental implant can cost $11,500 per tooth.
