Dental Implantology is a fairly new area of dentistry and the costs are still high. As time goes on and more and more dentists are involved in these procedures, the cost will come down significantly. Presently, dental insurance does not cover dental implants. There has, in my opinion, been a tendency for certain practitioners to overcharge for dental implant procedures. If you are interested in my commentary about excessive fees in this field of dentistry, Click Here for information about excessive Fees. . . There are two major costs involved in dental implant treatment. The first is the implant itself and the second is the restoration (tooth or teeth) that is anchored by the implant. Fees for these services vary considerably. I have seen fees for a single implant that range from $500.00 to $6,000.00. I think that an average fee for the placement of each is between $1500.00 and $2500.00. In my practice, the fee per implant is $1850.00 and that is because I do a tremendous number of implants each year. There are, however, situations where I might charge more or less for a particular patient treatment due to the difficulties or complexities of the treatment situation. You can view my fee schedule. Remember that out of state patients will get great incentives to fly to Boynton Beach for their dental treatment. Restorations on implants vary to a much greater degree and an individual can pay as much as several thousand dollars for a single restoration up to over $80,000.00 for a complete rehabilitation involving dental implants. Fortunately, there are implant restorations available for most people that are in the realistic range and allow many more people today to find a suitable solution to replacing missing teeth. You have to make sure that the dentist that you choose is familiar with all of the restorative options to suit your needs and that he can provide the treatment at a fee that you can live with. Fees for dental implants are often inflated. Many patients save on their dental implant treatment when they become patients of Dr. Davidoff in Florida! |
