This depends on how many teeth you’re having replaced, and whether you need additional preparatory treatments like tooth extractions or bone grafting. Typical costs in the greater Phoenix area are between $1,000 and $3,000 for a single-tooth implant. Implant bridges typically cost $5,000 or more, and full-mouth implant-retained dentures can cost $30,000 or more.
At New Horizon Institute, we understand that dental implants may seem out of reach, especially for working-class people and those from underserved communities. That’s why we offer special pricing for patients who are on tight budgets, as well as payment plans and other options to bring the cost of dental implants within reach. Contact our team for more information, and to see if you qualify for low-cost care in Gilbert.
Dental bridges attach to two healthy teeth next to a gap in your smile. These two “abutment teeth” must be trimmed down so that the bridge can attach properly. Then, a dental bridge with one or more false teeth is attached to your trimmed teeth, restoring your smile. Unlike dental bridges, dental implants don’t require your healthy teeth to be trimmed. Instead, a metal post is placed directly into your jaw bone and your gums. Over time, this post heals and functions as an artificial tooth root.
A bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth or teeth, called a pontic, that are anchored to the remaining natural teeth on either side of the gap. The natural teeth are typically prepared by removing some of their enamel to make room for the bridge. A bridge can improve the appearance of your smile and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
An implant-supported bridge is similar to a traditional bridge, but it is anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth. A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a crown or bridge can be attached to it to replace the missing tooth or teeth. An implant-supported bridge is often recommended when several teeth are missing in a row, as it provides a more stable and permanent solution than a traditional bridge.
The benefits of an implant-supported bridge include:
However, sometimes a bridge without implants may be the best treatment for a patient. This could be the case if the patient has insufficient bone density to support dental implants or if the adjacent natural teeth are not strong enough to support the bridge. A comprehensive dental examination is necessary to determine the best treatment option for each individual patient.
During the examination, the dentist will evaluate the patient's oral health, bone density, and other factors to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. It is important to schedule regular dental checkups to ensure that any potential dental problems are identified and treated early.
