The Cost of Dental Implants in Chicago

March 29, 2017 by sugarfix

The cost of dental implants

Dental implants have been available for several decades. However, for most patients, they are still a relatively new concept. Are you looking for the cost of dental implants and comparing quotes? Here are some important issues to keep in mind during the process.

Do you have a missing tooth or teeth? If so, you’ve started searching for the cost of dental implants against other tooth-replacement methods (dentures and bridges) It is important to take into consideration the longevity offered by dental implants that are not always afforded by other, more traditional methods.

Dentures and bridges are less expensive, however, their affordability can be short-lived. Because these older methods require repair and replacement every 5-10 years, they are often more expensive over time. By contrast, dental implants, when properly placed and cared for, can last a lifetime.

Jaw Bone Health

Over time, when a tooth is missing, the jaw bone deteriorates. A denture or bridge may seem to function similarly to a tooth, but underneath the surface, the damage is being done to the jaw bone and ultimately to the structure of the face. This can result in the distortion of the shape of a person’s face, leading to additional cosmetic costs down the road.

Dental implants are made of titanium, which integrates with the jaw bone, strengthening your jaw and stimulating bone growth. This preserves the natural strength and quality of the mouth, lessening problems in the future.

Quality of Life

Dental implants are a long-term investment because of the quality of life they provide. A dental implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth. Dental implants allow the patient to eat the same foods he or she has always enjoyed as well as eliminates the hassle/embarrassment that is frequently caused by dentures.

Comparing Dental Implant Quotes

Dental implants are placed in several steps. When comparing quotes for the cost of dental implants, it’s important to factor in the cost of each of these steps:

  • Exams/office visits
  • Tooth/root extraction
  • Bone Grafting
  • Placement of the titanium root (the “dental implant”)
  • Placement of the crown
  • X-rays, pre/post-operative care

Financing for Dental Implants

First, check with your dental insurance carrier to see what portion, if any, of dental implants they cover.

There are health care credit companies that offer no-interest and low-interest loans for medical procedures including dental implants.

Dental Implants are an investment in your health as well as your appearance. A full set of teeth makes eating a pleasure again, making it easier to eat a balanced, healthy diet. A full set of teeth also preserves the contours of the face, keeping you from looking old before your time.
