Healthy teeth and gums play a major role in living a healthy life. When teeth go missing, replacing them with a dental restoration is imperative for your oral and overall health. However, determining what to replace them with can be a difficult decision. One of the main factors that go into which restoration people choose is the cost. With how much dental work costs today, it’s a valid concern.
Dental implants are undoubtedly the best long-term solution available for missing teeth. But this level of sophisticated treatment will come with a price. Teeth implants should be viewed as an investment in your quality of life and health. The benefits they offer cannot be matched by any other teeth replacement options.
Dr. Ira Goldberg is a Succasunna, NJ dentist that offers quality dental implants. He has many years of experience and has helped many people through the financial aspect of getting an implant-supported restoration. It is important to know that each patient will have their own circumstances which will dictate the total cost of their implant treatment.
The Cost of Dental Implants
This is a very difficult topic to cover on a website. Many variables go into a patient’s total investment: extractions, grafting, treatment to other teeth, temporary teeth, etc. For accurate estimates, consultations and proper examinations are required.
Dental insurance may cover specific portions of implant procedures. However, insurance has a maximum. A “maximum” is the limit your policy will pay out within a year. For example, if your plan’s maximum is $1,500, that means your insurance won’t pay more than $1,500 for that year. If your treatment is $12,000, that means your portion is $10,500.
Dental implants can be a significant investment. Some patients require financial assistance such as financing. We offer a number of options:
- “Pay As You Go:” Your treatment will be broken up into “Phases.” We will estimate what you will owe during each Phase. You may have many months between Phases. This break is what might make your investment more manageable.
- Home Equity Credit Lines / Loans: If you own your home, you may be able to obtain this type of loan. This is going to be your least expensive option.
- Healthcare Financing: We work with both Care Credit and Ally Lending. Both companies can provide you with long-term financing options. Links to these companies are as follows…..[add links].
Again, we realize that quality treatments such as dental implants are not cheap. You need to think of implants as an investment: an investment in your health and happiness. Start with a consultation to see what your options and approximate costs might be, and we can help you figure out the financials, too. Call or email us to get the ball rolling!
