Dental implants with all their talked-about benefits sound so good. So how much will it cost me to have one? How much more does it cost compared to a three-unit bridge?
Usually the cost of a three-unit bridge can range from $2,000 to $3,000. On the other hand, a single implant tooth is approximately $3,000.
Here’s something to consider about a dental bridge. If you have recurring periodontal disease, your dental bridge will need to be replaced or additional filling or build-up is required. This means that you will incur additional replacement cost.
There are times when you will need to replace dental implant crowns due to years of wear and tear of the artificial crown material. In this case, you will only need to spend on the replacement of the dental crown but not on the implant itself and no work is needed on the adjacent teeth.
The overall cost of dental implants throughout your lifetime will be less compared to that of a traditional three-unit bridge. Plus they’re more secure, easy to clean and strong. They also look very close to natural teeth.
