Dr. Brian Gilbert Talks About the Cost of Dental Implants
Thinking in Light of the Long-Term
Are you concerned with the cost of dental implants? You are not alone. Patients unsure about the upfront cost of dental implants may simply be unaware of the long-term investment dental implants are in their oral function, smile aesthetics, and overall health. In general, dental implants have a high success rate (around 98%) and are more reliable and long-lasting than any other restorative option, including dental bridges or dentures. When thinking in light of the long-term, the cost of dental implants should be viewed as an investment that will span for many years, providing you with permanent and dramatic improvements in your quality of life, health, confidence, and wellbeing. If the cost of dental implants worries you, please schedule a consultation with our office.
Why Invest in Dental Implants?
Dental implants benefit patients in three areas: health, function, and aesthetics. This is accomplished because of the nature of the dental implants themselves. Dental implants mimic natural teeth in every aspect, from the tooth root to the visible crown. Just as natural teeth stimulate and strengthen the jaw bone when you chew, so do dental implants, which are surgically placed into the bone. Dental implants also replace the tooth crown, with a strong and durable custom dental crown that appears natural and blends seamlessly between existing teeth. Dental implants are not simply an investment in the aesthetics of your smile; they are an investment in yourself, including your self-esteem, the comfort and ease at which you can eat, speak, and chew, and your overall oral and physical health. Many patients find that the initial cost of dental implants is incomparable to the significant and life-long improvements dental implants offer.
