Dental Implant Cost and Financing Overview [Video Q&A]

Dental implants are titanium screws that we use to replace missing teeth. These implants embed in your jawbone, taking the place of your natural tooth roots. Once in your bone, titanium implants integrate with your jaw to create a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. However, this high-quality titanium material can make implants expensive, leaving patients on a budget hesitant to pursue implant treatment. To learn about the cost of dental implant treatment and the financing options available to you, we recommend booking a free implant consultation at our office in East Longmeadow, MA!

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of dental implant treatment depends on a variety of factors.

The type of implant we use makes a large difference in price, as conventional dental implants are more expensive than mini dental implants.

Mini implants are small titanium posts with a single-piece design. Thanks to their simple structure and minimally invasive procedure, we place these implants in just one appointment. In contrast, conventional implants are larger and require multiple appointments and components.

In most cases, mini implants are more affordable than their conventional counterparts, making them a better option for patients on a budget.

Additionally, the number of teeth you need to replace affects the price.

For patients who need an implant crown to replace a single tooth, treatment will be more affordable than for those who need full-mouth dental implants. Implant dentures are, in general, the more expensive option, as they require more implants and materials.

But the only way to truly know how much your treatment will cost is to book a free consultation. At our office in East Longmeadow, we offer free implant consultations to find a solution that works for your smile and your budget.

Does Insurance Cover Implants?

Dental insurance companies typically cover any procedure that they deem “medically necessary”. However,  not all insurance plans view implant procedures the same way.

In some cases, your insurance may cover dental implants. Other insurance companies may only cover a portion of the treatment, or offer no coverage at all.

During your free consultation with us, we will review your insurance and help you understand your coverage. If your insurance does cover any portion of your treatment, we will maximize your benefits. We work with you and your dental insurance company to get coverage for your procedure in any way we can.

But coverage is out of our hands, and some patients may need to find alternative funding for their procedure. Fortunately, we also offer financing!

Dental Implant Financing

At East Longmeadow Family Dental Center, we offer dental implant financing through third-party companies. These lenders help split your costs into more manageable monthly payments, alleviating the burden of upfront costs.

During your consultation, we will go over the financing options available to you. At our office, we partner with lenders like CareCredit, which is a healthcare credit card service.

To apply for CareCredit, we will run a soft credit check to see if you pre-qualify for coverage. This check will not affect your credit score and allows us to learn if financing is an option for you.

If so, we’ll help you apply for CareCredit and find a solution that works for you! Depending on your qualifications, you can split your costs into manageable payments with possible 0% interest options for 6, 12, 18, or 24 months.

If you’re interested in dental implants but wary of potential costs, we urge you to come in for a free consultation. It’s our job to find ways to make your care more affordable, and we will do everything possible to provide care within your budget.
