Implant dentistry can involve a significant investment with surgical fees beginning around $1,800 for a single tooth replacement to more than $5,000 for multiple teeth replacement. However, the cost of non-treatment could be considerably more expensive. The continual bone loss caused by wearing dentures and partials can lead to jaw fractures, nerve exposure, and other serious health problems which require expensive, long term treatments. Some insurance carriers pay for tooth implants, some pay for a portion, and others not at all. Check with your carrier to see if they cover implant dentistry.
