Tooth loss is incredibly common in the U.S. Roughly 120 million Americans have lost at least one adult tooth. This leaves behind gaps that can ding confidence and spiral into dental and general health concerns.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

Implants are the gold standard of care in tooth replacement. They are durable, long-lasting, and an effective way to get your smile back to the place you want it to be. Implants feel and look natural, so you can still be yourself with your new smile.

Missing teeth can present many challenges, both obvious and more covert. A missing tooth can lead to the surrounding teeth moving over into the empty space, which can change your bite — potentially requiring orthodontic treatment.

Your jawbone has a sort of “use it or lose it” attitude. If the bone doesn’t feel the pressure from chewing (which it no longer will where the tooth is missing) then the bone reabsorbs. The reabsorption can begin pretty quickly, and leads to complications in the future, both aesthetically and medically.

Dental implants can repair your smile, help you avoid bone reabsorption, and keep your jawbone in good health for many years to come. But they aren’t cheap. In this guide, we will explore all the factors that contribute to your total dental implant cost.
