The best procedure available to accomplish that goal is to have dental implants placed by your local dentist. You\u2019ll then be able to eat the foods you love and regain the confidence to show your beautiful smile. As you read on, your dentist explains the different parts of the implant and their average costs so you can be informed about what it takes to complete this life-changing procedure!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n<p>A dental implant is a surgically inserted titanium post that fuses with your underlying jawbone to form a sturdy foundation. The stability it provides is only rivalled by your natural teeth roots as it protects you from bone degeneration and premature wrinkling.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Different Parts of the Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n<p>There are four main steps to the dental implant procedure. Below they are listed along with their average costs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sedation <\/strong>\u2013 Before any work begins, your dentist will administer anesthesia to ensure that you have a painless procedure. One of the more common forms used is oral sedation, which ranges in cost from $500 to $900.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Implant Insertion <\/strong>\u2013 The next step is the placement of the dental implant, which can range from $1,500 to $2,000.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Abutment Placement <\/strong>\u2013 After your jaw has healed from the placement of the implant, your dentist will need to add an abutment \u2013 a titanium anchor that allows a restoration to be attached to the dental implant. The average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patrickcrowleydds.com\/dental-implants-faqs.html\">cost<\/a> of this aspect of the procedure is $500 to $2,500.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Placement of the Restoration <\/strong>\u2013 Following the abutment placement, you\u2019ll be given more time to heal, and later, your dentist will add the final restoration (implant-retained crown, bridge or dentures). The price depends on what type of restoration you\u2019ll need, but it can range from $1,500 to $2,500.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>For the Most Accurate Quote, Do This<\/h2>\n<p>The dental implant process is highly specialized and tailored to accommodate your specific needs. Thus, the only way to get an accurate reflection of what the investment will be is to visit your dentist for a full examination.<\/p>\n<p>While there, the expert will assess your current oral health to determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure. He or she will also consider your overall health to determine whether you\u2019ll be fit to receive anesthesia.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this tedious approach to the dental implant procedure, there is a 95% success rate over the past 10 years. So to learn more about the process and get on the road to being fully restored, contact your local implant dentist today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Patrick Crowley earned his dental degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry.
