One of the first questions patients ask about Dental Implants is, “how much do they cost?” The honest answer is that it varies widely depending on your specific needs, but understanding the breakdown can help you plan your investment in your smile.
Factors That Affect the Price
- Number of Implants: A single implant costs less than a full-arch restoration (like All-on-4).
- Bone Grafting: If your jawbone has receded, you may need a bone graft to support the implant, which is an additional procedure.
- Type of Restoration: Are you getting a simple crown or a complex bridge? The materials (titanium vs zirconia; porcelain vs resin) also play a role.
- Location: Dental costs vary by region. In Burbank and Los Angeles, prices reflect the higher cost of living and the expertise of your specialist.
Is It Covered by Insurance?
Historically, dental insurance considered implants cosmetic. However, times are changing! Many plans now cover a portion of the procedure, especially the crown (restoration) part. We work with most major PPO plans to maximize your benefits.
Financing Options
We believe everyone deserves a healthy smile. That’s why we offer flexible financing options through partners like CareCredit, allowing you to pay for your treatment over time with low or no interest.
The Long-Term Value: Unlike dentures, which need to be replaced every 5-7 years, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. While the upfront cost is higher, the long-term value is unmatched.
