However, you may not be sure if this is the right route for you to take. After all, it requires a greater initial investment than other methods of tooth replacement. Are dental implants worth the cost? Continue reading to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Dental Implants and Other Forms of Tooth Replacement Differ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to tooth replacement, dental implantation is considered the \u201cbar-setter,\u201d but why? No other replacement method starts at the root level. They merely replace the tooth or teeth from the gums up, which leaves much to be desired in the areas of stability, longevity and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Factors into the Cost of Dental Implantation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It costs more to receive dental implants because there are several steps involved that ensure a positive outcome. Here are the three components that factor into the cost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Implant Body <\/strong>\u2013 The implant body is the main attraction. It\u2019s a titanium fixture that is surgically inserted into your jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. Before this can take place, the dentist will check to see if you have enough jawbone density and assess the condition of your oral health. If you\u2019re in need of a restorative procedure beforehand, it will impact the overall cost.<\/li><li><strong>Abutment <\/strong>\u2013 After the implant has been placed and fuses with the jawbone, another titanium fixture \u2013 an abutment \u2013 will be added. It will allow the final restoration to be permanently secured.<\/li><li><strong>Prosthetic Restoration <\/strong>\u2013 The replacement procedure concludes with a final restoration being attached to the abutment. The cost of this part of the treatment will greatly depend on the number of teeth that you have missing, which will dictate the type of restoration you need.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It All Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering the cost of dental implants, the first thing to take into account is the fact that you\u2019ll regain up to 75% of your original chewing capacity and overall functionality, something that dentures and other replacement methods just can\u2019t match. Additionally, above-gum forms of tooth replacement usually only last up to 15 years, and dentures often require costly repairs to extend their lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign boasts a 95% success rate, and with proper care, your new restoration could last up to a lifetime. When you look at it from this perspective, the initial investment pays off royally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to make a decision now. Instead, visit a local implant dentist for a consultation. Therefore, you can make sure you\u2019re eligible for the procedure and learn more about what you can expect. From there, you can take the necessary steps to achieve an attractive and highly functional smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Steve Margolian earned his dental degree from the University of Toronto Dental School.
