Why Should I Replace A Missing Tooth?

Figuring Out Your Dental Implant Cost in Potomac, MD

When calculating your dental implant cost in Potomac, MD, Dr. Taff and Dr. Levine must consider several different factors. To get an accurate estimate, you will need to come in for an exam and consultation. Tooth implant cost can be influenced by factors such as:

• Number of replacements
• Bone loss
• Gum health
• Extractions
• Type of implant

Number of Replacements

The greater the number of teeth that are being replaced, the higher your overall tooth implant cost will be. In addition to materials, Dr. Taff and Dr. Levine will need to spend more time analyzing jaw bone density and plotting the specific placement of each implant.

Bone Loss

High bone density is essential to the success of dental implants. Without sufficient bone mass, your implants will not have enough foundation to hold them in place. If bone loss has occurred, a bone graft might be necessary. This will affect the total tooth implant cost.

Gum Health

Gum health is also important to the success of a dental implant procedure. If you are suffering from gingivitis or periodontal disease, you will need to undergo gum disease treatment before moving forward with the procedure. The treatment would be in addition to your overall tooth implant cost.

Extractions

Sometimes teeth can become severely damaged by decay, wear, or injury. In these cases, extraction is necessary before the teeth can be replaced by prosthetics. Tooth extraction expenses will be included in your tooth implant cost.

Type of Implant

There are several different types of dental implant procedures available for a variety of uses. Each type of implant carries a different cost. This will affect your tooth implant cost.
