Breaking Down Your Treatment Costs
Number of Implants
The main factor affecting the cost of treatment is the number of implants needed to restore your smile. A single tooth replacement will require one implant, while a full mouth restoration may involve six to eight implants per arch. In general, implants are priced individually, so the more teeth you are missing, the higher your total cost.
Procedure Fees
Dental implant treatment is custom-tailored to your unique needs. The equipment, lab work, and sedation you require may add to your overall costs. While Dr. Dillard will try to keep additional fees to a minimum, we must take the necessary steps and precautions to ensure your safety and the best possible results.
Dental Restoration
Implant-supported restorations range in price depending on the complexity and number of prosthetic teeth. A simple implant-supported crown will be less expensive than a more intricate bridge or denture. The materials you select for your prosthetic can also affect the total price.
Additional Treatments
Before you can get dental implants, you need to have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density. We may recommend preparatory procedures like a sinus lift, bone grafting, or periodontal therapy to improve your candidacy and prevent implant failure.
Dental Implant Financing Options
Our Charleston, SC, practice accepts flexible financing through CareCredit® to help you manage your dental implant costs. CareCredit is a third-party financing company that offers little- to no-interest plans on dental procedures. Financing is a great way to reduce your initial out-of-pocket expenses and pay for treatment in affordable monthly installments. If you are interested in learning more about payment plans, send us a message online, and we will gladly answer your questions.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Treatment?
While more and more dental insurances are paying for parts of dental implant treatment, do not expect the entire procedure to be covered. Most plans do not include coverage for the surgery, implant posts, and abutments. However, your insurance may help pay for your implant-supported restoration, just like it would a traditional crown, bridge, or denture. We can look into your plan during your consultation and find out what benefits you are entitled to.

View On GoogleDr. Dillard and staff are really great! I have had headaches that caused more discomfort than this tooth extraction. I needed a baby tooth that was fused to the bone jawbone removed for a dental implant. I have had no bruising, discomfort or complications. I recommend Dr. Dillard to anyone who needs major or extensive dental surgery.
