Are Dental Implants Expensive?

11/09/2016 15:50

The dental implants cost in Los Angeles can be higher than the cost of other types of restorations. However, they are also usually a more cost-effective alternative. Dental implants are made to last a lifetime and will not need regular adjustments or replacement the way dentures and dental implants do.

Some things that can affect the cost of dental implants include:

•    The location of the implants
•    The number of implants
•    The type of implant
•    Restoration type and material
•    The need for additional procedures

The implants cost covers the planning, records, implant device, restoration, surgery, and other procedures necessary to place and restore the implant. Dental insurance may cover all or part of the cost of your implants. Insurance also typically covers the cost of the restorations. Financing may be available for qualified patients and can include a variety of budget-friendly options.

Implants are typically placed over the course of several appointments, and once your implant has been placed, healed, and restored, it will function just like a natural tooth. Good dental habits will help protect your investment. Call our office today to schedule your appointment with our Los Angeles dental implants expert or to learn more about your implants options.
