When we talk about the cost of dental implants in Mississauga, we know that price is a big factor in your decision for treatment. At Mistry Dental we believe in transparent pricing and helping people understand what affects the total cost of their oral health. We know dental implants are a big investment but they are a great long term value for replacing missing teeth.
The cost of dental implants depends on many things. First we need to take a close look at your jawbone and take pictures of it to see how it’s doing. Some patients need bone grafting to make a stable base for the implant. This extra treatment will add to the total cost but will ensure your implant works and lasts for a long time. The cost may also vary depending on where the tooth is missing because front teeth require more cosmetic work than molars.
Many times people compare the pricing of implants to other ways of replacing teeth. We suggest looking at the whole picture even though dentures or bridges may seem cheaper at first. With proper care dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime. Most of the time you need to replace traditional bridges every 10-15 years. You also need to make regular changes and replacements to your dentures. When we add up these recurring costs implants often turn out to be cheaper in the long run.
The materials we use have a big impact on the final cost of your treatment. We use high quality titanium posts that fit in with your jawbone organically. It takes a lot of care to make the crown part fit precisely with your natural teeth. Our dental lab professionals spend a lot of time to make sure each implant looks and works like your natural tooth. This attention to detail and high quality materials adds to the cost but guarantees better results.
Mississauga’s insurance coverage for dental implants is always changing. We help patients figure out how to use their insurance benefits to get the most coverage possible. Some plans cover part of the treatment especially if the person lost a tooth due to an accident or medical condition. We give you specific treatment plans and paperwork to help you file an insurance claim. Our administrative staff works directly with insurance carriers to make sure you know what your coverage is and lower your out of pocket costs.
We have many ways to pay for dental implants to make them more affordable. Many of our patients choose our flexible payment plans which allows them to pay over several months. We also accept major credit cards and can discuss financing options from other companies. Some patients prefer to do their treatment in stages so they can better manage their finances. We never want financial problems to stop someone from getting the dental treatment they need.
The overall cost will vary depending on how many teeth need to be replaced. Full mouth reconstructions are more expensive than single tooth implants. But we found that some patients who need more than one implant do better with specific pricing plans. We also look into whether options like implant supported bridges can save money while giving great results. If a patient is missing many teeth we might suggest using implants and a Bridge together to reduce the number of implants needed.
We want patients to think of dental implants as an investment in their quality of life. Implants not only look good but they also restore full chewing function and stop bone loss in the jaw. They help keep the shape of the face and stop the other teeth from moving. These health benefits go beyond just getting a new tooth. Patients usually say that their implants made them feel well enough to smile, laugh and eat without worrying. We will break down the costs of your treatment during your consultation. We will go over each one and answer any questions you have about the cost. We want to help you make a decision that works for your dental needs and your wallet. We think knowing how much dental implants cost and what they are worth will help you make the right decision for you.
