Implant Restorations: A Step-by-Step Guide follows a logical structure of three sections. The first section introduces implant restorative dentistry, how to develop an implant restorative practice, the issues involved, the technical components of the 3i systems, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The central section of the book devotes separate chapters to in-depth descriptions of each of several types of patient that the restorative dentist may encounter, ranging from basic to more challenging cases. Every step of each procedure is described and illustrated with clinical photographs. Laboratory work orders are presented for use with commercial dental laboratories. The final section discusses record-keeping, patient compliance, hygiene regimes and follow-up, and provides the reader with an outline of best-practice procedural protocols.

Statistics On The Dental Implant Costs: Old Techniques Versus the Breakthrough ‘All-on-4'

In the pursuit of the best aesthetic and functional solution to edentulism (not having a single original adult tooth left) and near edentulism, patients can often become concerned over dental implant cost. First of all, dental implants do offer the most sophisticated, comfortable and long-term solution to rampant tooth loss. But owing to the skill and resources that goes into their fabrication, as well as the advanced education and training of the professionals that place them, dental implant costs are not inexpensive. Much like you can expect to pay more for an iPhone 4 versus a Nokia 3210, so too can patients expect greater dental implant costs than for traditional removable dentures. And just like an iPhone 4 is at the very cutting edge of modern technological advancement, so too are dental implants.

The Impact of Newer Placement Protocol on Dental Implant Costs

As the years march on, the development of newer and more advantageous dental implant products, medical technology and surgical placement protocols enable skilled and qualified dentists to provide patients with immediate and far more comfortable, convenient and long-term results. While one might expect greater dental implant costs to come hand-in-hand with a more sophisticated implant protocol, in reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

The ‘All-on-4' technique was developed by European implantologist, Dr. Paulo Malo, in collaboration with Nobel Biocare; one of the world's leading manufacturers of dental implants and associated products. The ingenious surgical protocol laid out by the ‘All-on-4' not only bypasses some of the greatest challenges facing traditional dental implant techniques – such as the need for bone grafting in patients presenting with advanced jaw bone deterioration - but it also comes with a vast array of benefits and advantages that all work together to substantially lower the dental implant costs of complete oral rehabilitation! In this three-part article series we shall be exploring the various factors that all contribute to the lower dental implant costs, which translate – for straight-forward patient cases – to savings of $25,000 and as much as $45,000 for more complex cases!

Lower Dental Implant Costs with the ‘All-on-4': Fewer Dental Implants

The first and most immediate difference between the ‘All-on-4' and traditional dental implant protocol lies in the name of the technique itself. With traditional techniques, patients missing all or most of their teeth frequently require as many as 20 dental implants to get a full and healthy-looking smile back! When you consider that a single dental implant costs in the region of $4,000, the price for oral rehabilitation can become quite exorbitant. With the ‘All-on-4' on the other hand, only four dental implants are required per jaw; hence the name of the protocol. A skilled and qualified dentist uses these implants to provide anchorage for a customized and non-removable prosthetic dental bridge, which is carefully and skillfully fabricated to exactly resemble - in function, aesthetics and feel - a natural set of teeth.

With only 8 implants in total, as opposed to 20, the dental implants cost with the ‘All-on-4' is substantially lowered. But there are more savings to be made in one's journey to oral rehabilitation… stay tuned for the next article installment to find out what these dental implant costs savings are!

Dental Implant Costs: What Patients Can Expect to Pay

The loss of a single tooth can drastically alter the appearance of your beautiful and youthful smile. So, what a patient ideally wants in the event that they lose one or more of their adult pearly whites is an immediately functional and cosmetic solution, such as is afforded by dental implants. Their next concern is inevitably dental implant costs. Compared with traditional tooth replacement technologies, dental implant costs represent a greater initial investment. But the benefits and advantages of these ingenious dental devices over and above dental bridges and dentures make them the best, most sophisticated and long term solution to missing teeth. So, what can patients expect to pay and what dental financing options are available?

An Estimate of Dental Implant Costs

The dental implant costs patients can expect to pay varies substantially from case to case. There are several factors the implant dentist will need to take into account in order to provide a quotation. These factors include the number of teeth requiring replacement, the health of the jaw bone and the kind of implant products and procedures recommended for oral rehabilitation. The Brueggen Dental Implant Center in Houston offers the following pricing structure estimate for dental implant costs:

    * Initial consultation with Dr. Wayne Brueggen, qualified and experienced implant dentist, $250. This includes your treatment plan, clinical examination and X-rays.
    * Dental implant costs for one tooth: between $4,000 and $6,000.
    * Dental implant costs for three teeth: between $12,000 and $15,000.
    * Dental implant costs per arch (the entire row of upper or lower teeth): between $27,500 and $35,000.
    * Dental implant costs for the replacement of both the upper and lower arch: $50,000.
    * Dentures attached to immediate function, mini dental implants: between $4,000 and $8,000 per arch of teeth.
    * Dentures attached to traditional endosseous root form implants: between $9,000 and $15,000 per arch of teeth.


What Patients Get from these Estimated Dental Implant Costs

In addition to the implant products themselves, these dental implant costs include the need for the extraction of any teeth prior to the placement surgery, the surgery itself, tooth restoration and any and all follow-up visits. Please note that these prices are an approximation. If you wish to find out what the dental implant costs will be for you to get your full and confident smile back, then it is best that you schedule an appointment with Dr. Wayne Brueggen.

Dental Financing Options

As it was initially explained, dental implant costs can represent a considerable initial investment, although their long-term health benefits are beyond question. Unfortunately, because they are seen as an elective procedure, few medical insurance companies offer coverage for dental implant costs. Thankfully, however, the Brueggen Dental Implant Center offers comprehensive dental financing options that are tailor-made to suit the individual patient's pocket. We offer dental financing (both short-term no-interest and long-term interest) through the following providers: Chase Healthcare Financing, CareCredit, Springstone Patient Financing and Compassionate Health Care Services.

A Final Note on Implant Costs and Dental Financing

Never allow a concern for dental implant costs to get in the way of you and a fully-restored smile. Through one of our dental financing options, the Brueggen Dental Implant Center will help you receive the treatment you need to have a single, multiple or even all of your teeth replaced! And remember, uncompromising quality is not a luxury; it's essential!
