Cost Of Dental Implants - Mission Viejo, CA
Guaranteed Fixed Price Options for Dentistry
How Do We Make Your Dental Care Affordable?
You might be surprised how affordable dental implants are compared to other tooth replacement options, especially when you consider long-term cost effectiveness and quality of life. The total cost depends on several distinct factors, including how many teeth need replacing and where they’re located, the number and type of implants, and whether any additional procedures are necessary to prepare your mouth for the implants. Since dental implant treatments are customized for your specific needs, the costs vary accordingly. An evaluation by an experienced dental implant expert is the best way to ensure that you are getting an accurate cost estimate for quality work.
If you see ads for dental implants with low prices that seem too good to be true – well, you know what they say. And if someone quotes you a price for dental implants without examining you, be wary. Dr. Wolf and his team believe in a one-stop shop concept. His qualified team of treatment coordinators, lab technicians and clinical assistance have many years of experience and are very transparent in the costs associated with the implant process. They will layout an all-inclusive treatment plan at a guaranteed fixed price that includes consultation examine and treatment protocol including lab fees and follow up exams, so you don’t have any surprises. In some cases, insurance benefits may be possible, so we will work with your insurance company to secure those benefits and apply them to your treatment costs.
Understanding Our Insurance and Financing Options
Recognizing the long-term benefits of dental implants over other tooth replacement options, an increasing number of insurance companies have started to provide some coverage. If your company does not offer this coverage, ask if you can receive an allowance toward implants that is equal to the cost of a bridge or traditional dentures. We also offer financing and payment options to make dental implants even more affordable, so be sure to ask what plans your dentist offers.
The True Cost of Dental Alternatives
At first glance, dentures or removable bridges can appear much less expensive than dental implants, given their lower upfront costs. However, the full cost – both financial and emotional – of these options can run much higher than dental implants, for several reasons. One reason are the initial costs versus total costs. The initial price you pay doesn’t include the cost of replacing your dentures or bridges, which may be necessary as often as every 5 to 10 years. It also doesn’t include the ongoing maintenance costs, such as fixatives and adhesives. Also, there are the convenience costs; unlike your natural teeth or dental implants, you need to remove your dentures to soak and brush them, which can be a time-consuming hassle and finally the health and social costs need to be considered. Without a tooth or implant, your jawbone will begin to deteriorate, which can change your facial appearance and dentures can slip or click when you chew, laugh, talk, or kiss.
From a purely financial perspective, dental implants are cost-competitive with other tooth replacement options over the long term. And when you also factor in quality of life and long-term oral health, dental implants clearly rank as the higher-value alternative.
