In recent years, one can see many clinics that announce online “dental implants at attractive prices” and advertisements promising “dental implants at a ridiculously low price”. Is this the truth, or just a marketing gimmick? And if so, how much do dental implants cost, and according to what is the price determined?
People looking for good prices and low costs for dental implants do not understand how the price per implantation is determined, and because it is a major expense, they are interested in making sure that they are getting the best price.
Dental implantation must be an individualized treatment tailored to each patient, rather than an identical treatment administered to all because each person has a different jaw, teeth in a different state of health, a different jawbone strength, and a different dental and medical history. Therefore, it would not be correct to compare the quotes I received from me and my neighbor (our teeth and jaws are in different conditions). Second, we must examine the treatment plan received and check that it refers to our unique diagnosed dental condition and provides the best solution for it, taking into consideration our specific disorders.
In addition, not all dentists are equal. The more experience a dentist has in the dental implantation field and the better his reputation, including proven successes over years, the more likely he is to demand a price that corresponds with his medical standard. When you choose a dentist to perform implantation, it is very important for you to check the following, in order to understand the price of the treatment as well as what you get for each price.
It is important to verify the experience of the dentist you choose. Usually, the greater his experience and skill, the higher his fee will be. The most experienced dentists are not just those with an impressive resume of studies and courses in Israel and overseas, but primarily those who have cared for a large range of cases and are able to provide a solution to rare cases such as an extreme shortage of jawbone, osteoporosis or severe dental anxiety. This skill will ensure that even in the case of complications or difficulties you will be given the best dental solution.
Dental equipment costs a great deal but allows improved treatment precision and more aesthetic and stable results to be achieved. A clinic that has a CT machine and does not subcontract imaging, has its own dental laboratory and does not use a general laboratory, and uses advanced technologies such as CAD/CAM and 3D printing of crowns will be more expensive, but will also ensure a much higher quality treatment that will last longer, with better quality aesthetic results. In addition, the use of certain materials such as zirconia crowns and of course modern implant types increases the cost of the implantation, but again, ensures a higher quality of treatment.
It is important to understand the implantation methods that the dentist uses and the prices that he demands for specific treatments. When more complex treatments are performed, such as zygomatic implantation or basal implantation, which require unique skills and designated dental implants, the prices for implantation vary accordingly.
You should always make sure that the dentist performing the implantation guarantees responsibility for the treatment and materials he uses for building the teeth, for as many years as possible. Low-cost dental implantation without a full warranty for several years may result in a series of additional treatments that will eventually increase the total cost. This exceeds a single treatment performed by professional hands that provide the patient with a warranty and peace of mind.
It must be verified that the dentist is a specialist with a license to practice dentistry, whose clinic engages primarily in oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation procedures. To strengthen the dentist’s credibility, it is important not to simply be content with his own testimony about himself, but to also ask for a list of patients for whom he has performed dental implants, both recently and in the past, who recommend him. A conversation with two or three patients who have undergone dental treatments will help you understand how much dental implants cost at the health and service level, rather than just in financial terms.
Because every patient has a different jaw structure, a different health condition, and a different medical history, the dentist should tailor a unique treatment plan to each patient and not work with the same plan for all treatments. Therefore, when comparing the prices of dental implants, it is important to examine the specifications of the plan, and not just the bottom line stating the price, as the price may differ due to a different treatment plan.
After choosing the dentist, it is important to know that you can significantly influence everything related to the cost of dental implants. You can choose implantation that takes a long time and costs less money, but that requires you to lose workdays, yielding the same outcome. In addition, you can choose a dentist with little experience, more basic equipment, and more. Despite these possibilities, most people prefer to go to a highly experienced specialist who promises the best results, alongside a payment plan that meets their payment ability.
