Factors that Determine Implant-Supported Dentures Cost
Scores of patients suffering from tooth loss search for a way to split the difference between dental costs and functionality for their teeth. Implant-supported denture costs vary from area to area and from patient to patient. Implant-supported dentures offer patients the ability to chew, speak, and live their lives without fear of their dentures slipping out of place.
All that being said, many patients worry about the cost. At Brooklyn Heights Dental, we want you to feel confident in your treatment at our Brooklyn, NY, practice from start to finish. Here is how the cost of your implant-supported dentures is determined.
Implant-Supported Dentures Cost at a Glance
Your specific dental profile plays the biggest role in establishing your implant-supported dentures costs. Many patients find that they need other procedures to augment their implants or that they must treat other dental conditions before they get implants. Take a look at the factors that decide implant-supported denture costs.
- Number of implants required
- Surgery preparation
- Quality of materials
- Experience of the dentist
Number of Implants Required
There’s no one-size-fits-all for implant-supported dentures. Some patients need eight implants, while some only need six or four to support their restoration. Other patients only need a partial arch and require even fewer posts, and as a result, enjoy a lower cost. You’ll be given a full breakdown of what your procedure will entail during your consultation, so there are no surprises later.
Surgery Preparation
Some patients need additional dental interventions before they can be fitted with implant-supported dentures. If you currently suffer from periodontal disease, tooth decay, or other pre-existing dental conditions, your dentist will have to work with you on a treatment plan before your procedure. Some patients don’t have the bone density necessary to support dental implants, so a bone graft is needed to support the titanium implants. Procedures like these add to the cost of the overall treatment.
Quality of Materials
Not all dentures or implant materials are created equal. Some are made from porcelain, others from acrylic resin, and the cost will vary depending on how strong and resilient the material is. At Brooklyn Heights Dental, we don’t skimp on the materials. We want your dentures to stand up to whatever comes their way, so we use only the best porcelain and partial metal materials.
Experience of the Dentist
Like with anything else, the more experienced someone is, the more their services tend to cost. The experience level of your dentist plays a critical component in the success of your surgery. Spending a little more on a great dentist now can save you the cost of seeing another dentist fix botched work later on. Our dentists at Brooklyn Heights Dental are fully trained to provide premium care, which they have done for their patients in Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, and all of Brooklyn since 1956.
