Implant-retained denture costs vary for a few reasons. Fortunately, your implant dentist or a member of our dental team will break down the cost for your specific case during your consultation.
In this blog, we share what determines pricing and how to make implants more budget-friendly.
What Actually Drives the Price of Implant-Retained Dentures?
Here are a few key factors that determine implant costs:
- Number and Placement of Implants
- The Complexity of Your Case
- Whether Insurance Picks Up Part of the Cost (e.g, Extractions)
Why Two Implants Is Often the Starting Point, Not the Exception
Implant-supported overdentures (implant-supported dentures) require stability. They should be properly anchored on both sides of the jaw. To accomplish this, we would need to place at least two dental implants.
Additionally, according to a recent study:
Clinical evidence supports the use of two implants in the mandible, as established by the McGill consensus, providing high success rates and predictable outcomes.
However, every patient and situation is different, and we may use as many as six implants, depending on your case.
Considerations include jawbone health.
Making Implant-Retained Dentures Affordable at Humble Dentistry
Insurance may cover extractions and dentures, but implant dentures are different. Your policy may only cover a portion of treatment or none of it. We can review your policy to be sure.
