How much do Dental Implant Costs: Sandy Springs

The cost of a dental implant can range from $1800 up.  The exact cost varies because each patient presents a unique set of circumstances and factors.   The variables that may affect the procedure range from your age, oral health, jaw bone anatomy, bone grafting to whether or not more complex treatments such as a sinus lift are necessary.  In addition, the type of dental implant and the restorative crown or denture impacts the cost of the total restoration.  Finally, the number of times the patient needs to visit the dentist can affect the cost of the procedure.  It is not a cookie cutter process.

The dental implant procedure involves several steps between multiple specialties.[1]   The first step is the placement of the dental implant, which may involve the extraction of a tooth and the placement of bone grafting material.  The latter is done to fill the void created from the removed tooth.  Once this is completed, the dental implant needs time to properly integrate with the bone and create a healthy fusion in order for the crown to be attached.  In most cases the healing period is 3 – 6 months. The last step is the restoration, which is placing the crown on top of the dental implant structure.

Coverage under your medical plan may be available, depending on your insurance plan and the cause of tooth loss. If treatment is not covered by your dental insurance, or if you don’t have insurance, you may be able to setup a finance plan. Many dental offices offer financing plans, allowing patients to finance dental procedures, many times with no interest.

During your consultation we provide you with a breakdown of fees.   We also discuss the various dental implant options and try to cover all the costs that are involved.  It is during the initial consult where you should be given payment options and strategies to accomplish the treatment.

Feel free to give us a call to see if you are an implant candidate.

Choosing a Dentist or getting an Oil Change : Sandy Springs

While I understand the concern, it seems odd that a patient would want to choose their dentist based solely on price or coupon received in the mail.  After all, the quality of your dental treatment should be of equal, if not greater importance.

A few telephone surveys to the dentists in the area you desire should give you a general idea of the range of fees.[1]  You should know that many dental offices will be put off by such inquires for a couple of reasons.  First, while there are many cookie cutter aspects to what dentists charge in your routine maintenance, each patient presents a unique set of circumstances and delivery challenges.   A phone call from a person "checking out the best prices in town" doesn't typically fit that ideal of doctor- patient relationship.  It’s really not like buying tires or getting an oil change.

Second, that phone inquiry on price often result in "apples and oranges" comparisons.  Without an examination by the dentist it is impossible for the dental office to know exactly what work is needed, and so it is impossible for them to give you an accurate idea of the fee or the treatment.  Uniqueness creates a possible variation in the treatment and the fees associated with the treatment.

Third, even using the same dental terminology when calling various dental offices can result in different interpretations of the work being asked about.

Fourth, most dentists consider a consultation appointment an excellent way for a potential patient to determine the cost of the specific dental treatment they need and for the patient an excellent way to meet and experience the office environment in which the treatment will be performed. Many dentists will likely no-charge an examination fee for this visit. And if there is a charge the receptionist making your consultation appointment should be able to quote this fee precisely.

Finally, ask your friends and coworkers who their dentist is.   Reputations travel, and your friends will know who has treated them well and will most likely have an insight into the fees charged by their dentist compared with other dentists in your area.  Read our review:

Cheap Dentistry? Sandy Springs Dentist:

Dental Expenditures are a bargain… for now.

The overall average for personal healthcare has risen much faster than the average for all consumer items, nearly quadrupling in the past 25 years. Whereas per capita spending on dental costs has remained flat.[1]

Accounting for inflation and population growth the general shift from institutional care to professional services has created little to no increase in ones dental costs. Medical care is increasingly delivered in outpatient care settings, often in physician offices or surgical care centers, which can be seen in the above diagram crossing of the real spending trends for institutional care and professional services that occurred in about 2000. Unlike other professional services, dentistry has not gained from the shift toward outpatient/professional services, and remained flat in real per capita spending for the past 25 years. Thus, while prices for dental services have grown generally as fast as the average for all personal healthcare services, dentistry has neither lost nor gained real ground in per capita use.[2]

Most dental coverage in the United States is obtained through employer-offered plans, and basic Medicare does not include such benefits. Seniors’ spending on dental care is, therefore, more sensitive to income than spending by younger age groups. Whether dentistry will continue to maintain its relative position in per capita utilization depends, at least in part, on how the baby boom demographics will impact dental care demand in the next two decades.[3]

What is a Prosthodontist? Novy Scheinfeld, DDS, Atlanta, GA

According to Forbes magazine, it’s the rarest dental specialty in the United States.   Imagine that, being so unique that only about 560 dentists in the country are practicing prosthodontists.  But what type of dentistry does a prosthodontist practice?  The difficult kind.  Among our referring colleagues, we are the specialist who’s trained to fix really difficult oral problems.  So how does that relate to you?  Well, given our expertise, we have become the true experts in cosmetic dental restorations.  If we can handle complex dental cases, image what we can do for low to moderate cosmetic issues.

We are usually considered the quarterbacks of your dental restoration.  We work in collaboration with other specialties when necessary to achieve what we call ‘the right smile’.  Each patient presents a unique set of circumstances and our rigorous training allows us to create not only a functioning smile, but a smile that’s esthetically pleasing to the discerning public. One that makes you smile.

A prosthodontist is a ADA sanctioned, university trained post graduate dental specialist.  If there were such a discipline as ‘cosmetic dentist’, the prosthodontist would fill that description.  But our training and qualifications go much further beyond esthetics.  While esthetics is a part of the end goal, good functioning oral health is the foundation of what our treatment planning centers around.  And striking the right balance between esthetics and functionality requires a tremendous amount of training and experience.

I have been in the rarest dental profession for nearly 25 years with a patient base that spans 4 generations.  I have assembled a team of dentists and staff that support my expertise and supply them with state of the art technology to achieve the right smile.  But don’t take my word for it.  Read some of the over 465 reviews posted on the internet at:

Dentist Sandy Springs: Dental Implant benefits

Dental Implants provide life changing benefits:

1.      They look and feel like your own teeth.

2.      They’re a comfortable and maintained like your natural teeth.

3.      You can eat your favorite foods and chew without fear.

4.      Renewed ability to speak properly

5.      Restoration of facial aesthetics

6.      Preservation of remaining jaw bone structure

7.      Cavity free

8.      Increased confidence and self-esteem

9.      They are an affordable, permanent solution that can last a lifetime.

Dental implants look and perform like real teeth. You can chew and eat like normal.  A tooth needs a root to hold it in place, and that’s precisely what a dental implant does.  You keep your dental implants clean using a toothbrush and floss, just like you would your natural teeth.  And  with proper care, dental implants will last a lifetime.  Dental implants give you a second chance at a natural smile – the right smile. 

When searching online for pricing, you may notice that Dental Implants are often advertised below $1,000. Don’t be fooled into believing that your treatment will cost that much, because the truth is the restoration portion of the treatment probably isn’t factored into the total price, which in most cases is half the cost.  Plus you don’t know who manufactures your implant.

Dental implants are the best permanent way to help you get your smile back, along with your confidence. The best part is no one will know they’re implants unless you tell them.

Find out if you are a candidate for dental implants.  Call or email us now for a complimentary consult.  We have in-house placement and restoration by our periodontic and prosthodontic experts.

Dental Implants: Patient Doctor disconnect?

When dentists feel their patient’s very first question should be -

1.      Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

The patients asks -

1.      How much do dental implants cost?

2.      Will dental implant surgery be painful?

There really is a disconnect between the doctor and patient.  This really is no surprise, since patients are thinking about how they are going to pay for the implants, and whether the procedure will be painful.  It turns out that there’s a real difference between the questions dental implant patients ask — and which questions they should be asking.

The top 5 questions dentists want patients to ask -

1.      Am I a good candidate for implants?

2.      What are the potential complications of dental implant therapy?

3.      How much implant experience does the doctor have?

4.      What is the healing time for my implants?

5.      Can implants improve my appearance?

Versus….

The top 5 questions dental patients ask -                              

1.      How much do dental implants cost?

2.      How long do dental implants last?

3.      Are implants painful?

4.      How long will it take to get my new teeth?

5.      Does dental insurance cover implant surgery?

If you would like to learn more about implants and your candidacy please call or email your question.  We will try and answer your cost questions as well.  Schedule a cost free analysis and meet our in-house periodontist, Dr. Will Zinney and myself, a prosthodontist.

Dentist Marietta: The future of Dental Implants is now.

Dental implants are stronger and more durable than their restorative counterparts: bridges, partials and dentures.  And from an esthetic standpoint, dental implants look and feel more natural, a result due to the progress made in their biocompatible development.  Implants offer the patient a permanent solution to tooth and continued bone loss. Additionally, implants may be used in conjunction with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness in that a single implant may serve to support a dental crown replacing a single missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support a dental bridge for the replacement of multiple missing teeth, and can be used with complete dentures, both standard and mini implants to increase stability and preserve bone structure.

Procedural advancements mean that a larger population than ever before are finding themselves candidates for dental implants.  While application and candidacy for implantation varies on a case by case basis, meaning that your dentist needs to determine the viability of implants as it applies to your actual bone structure.   Keep in mind, while a general dentist may perform the crown and bridge placement that is associated with implant restorations, prosthodontists, the ADA sanctioned specialists who have received post-doctorate training, are most often your best bet for the successful completion of this type of technique sensitive procedure.

If we can ever be of help please don’t hesitate to call or comment so we can answer your questions.  With over 20 years of experience, we provide both in-house implant placement and prosthodontic expertise in their restoration.
