Dental implants replace a tooth’s root on which a surgeon attaches a denture, bridge, or crown. The implants hold a denture in place, making the crown look like a natural tooth. Dental implants are suitable only for people with enough jaw bones. Dental implants help improve a person’s appearance and help them chew and speak better.

Steps in dental implant treatments
Not everyone can have dental implants. Doctors do a completed dental investigation using imaging tests, blood examinations, and physical examinations and review your health history before deciding if you are a qualified candidate. Dental implant treatment happens over many months in stages, with time for healing. The following are the different steps involved in dental implant treatments:

• Removing damaged teeth or teeth
• Preparing the jawbone
• Placing the implant
• Waiting for healing
• Placing the abutment
• Placing the artificial tooth, also known as crown
• Follow up examinations

The different steps are done as outpatient procedures. If the surgeon feels the patient’s condition is good, they may combine two procedures in one sitting. It may take about three to six months to completion of the entire procedure.

Cost of dental implants
A dental implant treatment typically includes comprehensive dental examination, 3D imaging, tooth extraction, jaw grafting, cost of titanium implants, abutments and crowns, fabrication costs, and dentist and surgeon fees. One can opt for dental implants to replace one or multiple teeth using a bridge that supports multiple implants. Replacement of all the teeth using an implant-retained denture is possible too. The cost per implant can range anywhere between $3,000 and $5,000. Replacing all your teeth can cost between $60,000 and $90,000.

What are dental implant packages?
Dental implant packages are all-in-one packages pre-paid in full and may include the costs of one or two appointments, scans, implants, abutments, crowns, and a guide. You can choose an implant package based on the number of implants you require and the type of implant. Higher packages also include bone reduction and minor bone grafting if required. Paying for a package saves you the trouble of choosing individual services and paying for them every time you visit the dental implant clinic.

Dental implant top clinics
The dentist’s qualification, experience, and board certification should be the first point to consider when choosing a dental implant top clinic. The clinic should be in an easily accessible location and educate you on the process, the risks, side effects, cost, and all necessary information you require. The clinic should also have a good track record, customer satisfaction rating, and review. Their costs should be competitive and offer flexible payment options.
