Do you have a broken tooth and want to know if a dental implant is a suitable solution for you? Just how much would that cost if you live in North Carolina? Avoid sticker shock at your next appointment and get informed before you sit in the chair.
What is the cost of a single-tooth dental implant?
In general, the implant itself, a single tooth, can cost between $1,500 and $2,000. That’s a basic cost, and can change depending on the patient’s situation.
There are also additional costs that may come from office visits, extraction, possible surgery, and even a crown. After an examination, Dr. Carlyle can explain what would be needed for you specifically.
What other factors will affect the price I pay for a dental implant?
- The oral surgeon may have to cut into your gum to fully remove the old tooth and root.
- Depending on the position of the problem tooth, you may undergo sinus surgery.
- The jawbone may need a bone graft to better support the implant.
- Prices vary according to location. North Carolina is average for national implant costs.
- Insurance coverage.
Will my insurance help to defray the cost?
This depends on your individual dental policy. Your insurance company may cover some of the costs of certain procedures or require an out-of-pocket maximum to be reached before they step in to help defray the cost. In some cases, your medical insurance may provide some compensation.
The only way to get an accurate answer is to check with your provider and dentist.
Can I have multiple teeth done at the same time?
If you have several broken teeth next to one another, you may be eligible to have a bridge installed. The extra-wide implant has two posts, and the crown actually looks like multiple teeth, which are connected to the posts. If you want multiple implants in different parts of your mouth, the oral surgeon may recommend doing them separately, so you can continue to chew while you heal from each procedure.
Is there financing available for dental implants?
Yes, Carlyle Dental offers financing and accepts CareCredit. Speak with the front desk on your next visit to sign up for a payment plan that suits your budget.
