Cost of Dental Implants Kanata

The cost of single tooth Implant and full mouth Implants

If you have heard that dental implants are 'very' expensive and not affordable, that is really not true. In this article we will break down the costs associated with dental implants and explain the average cost of dental implants in Kanata and Ottawa.

Cost of a Single Tooth Implant

On an average, a single tooth implant can cost around $2,900. However, depending on the patient's specific case, there may be additional costs associated with the surgery which could include: a CT Scan, Sinus Lift, Tissue Graft or a Surgical Guide.

In most cases, after the surgical implant is placed, we wait 2-3 months before placing the Crown on the Implant. This is to allow for healing/osseointegration. The cost of the Crown averages around $900 plus the laboratory fee. Overall, a single tooth replacement including the cost of the CT Scan, Surgery and Crown totals up to approximately $4900 over the course of a 3-month period (as long as no additional treatments such as grafts, sinus lifts or guides are needed).

However without proper consultation with your dentist, it is very difficult to determine the cost of dental implants. It can vary considerably, depending on the quality of the materials used in the implant and prosthetic tooth — such as titanium and porcelain — as well as the time and skill required for the procedure itself. It also depends on the number of missing teeth that need to be replaced and the number of implant posts that are necessary to secure your dental restorations. Depending on the scope of your procedure, the cost of your treatment may very well be less or more than the average price.

Since dental implants are anchored into the jawbone, it is also important that your gums and teeth are in good health and that you have sufficient bone in the jaw to support implant posts. For some patients, bone grafting or other procedures may be required before the placement of dental implants. If you require any additional treatments in preparation for your dental implant surgery, these procedures will affect the overall cost as well.

Are Dental Implants worth the cost?
