Factors Influencing Dental Implant Cost
No two dental implant procedures are the same, and what you pay may vary widely depending on the best solution for you. Several considerations influence the total cost of dental implants. They include:
How many teeth are missing?
Each dental implant post is priced individually. The total will be influenced by the number of teeth you are having replaced.
How healthy is your jaw?
Dental implants require a strong, healthy jawbone to anchor the implants properly. Without a strong jaw, implants are at risk of failure. A bone graft or sinus lift may be necessary to create the suitable environment for dental implants.
What are the implants made of?
Most implant posts are titanium, but patients who are allergic or sensitive to metal may require ceramic or zirconia posts.
How much do dental implants cost?
You should consider that the price the manufacturer asks for an implant is only a fraction of the cost you end up paying your dentist. There are several reasons for that:
- You are paying for the implant as well as the crown or bridge attached to the implant
- You are paying the cost of manufacturing the implant and Dr. Joseph’s time and experience
- Depending on the patient’s need for additional treatment, the final price of dental implants can vary.
- Your PPO Dental insurance may help pay for portion of the dental implant.
Implants can range from Implants can range from $2,000 to $5,000, depending on factors like bone levels, presence of infection, and available restorative space. Schedule a consultation with us to receive a more precise estimate tailored to your needs.

Patient Experiences
“Dr. Joseph loves his work and is excellent at it. When I broke my front tooth crown, he squeezed me into his busy schedule and was able to start the replacement process the same day. He meticulously worked until we got the perfect result, a fully natural- looking and comfortable crown. I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend it!!!”

My 5 and 3 you see them as well and everyone is super patient with them! Had a filling done and barely felt the doctor's needle prick. He has such a gentle touch! I used to work for a dental office so I have always had a high standard and picky from front office to bedside manners It is all important to me! New to the area and I won't go anywhere else!”

The Benefits of Implant Dentures
Preserve Jawbone Density
Each of your teeth has roots fused with your jawbone, providing it with needed stimulation and blood flow to keep it from eroding. When one or several teeth go missing, your jawbone will begin to deteriorate in the area that isn't being used. Unlike other traditional restorations that only repair your teeth' biting surface, such as dentures and bridges, dental implants act to replace the root of your missing teeth. Through a process called osseointegration, they bond with your jawbone, just like your natural roots, preventing it from deteriorating and providing your replacement teeth with a strong and stable foundation to be placed on.
Improve Your Ability to Chew and Speak
Many patients who have traditional restorations suffer from unstable and moving replacement teeth that make it difficult to eat and speak easily. This is because conventional restorations like dentures rely on natural suction and denture adhesive to stay in place, which isn't 100 percent reliable. Because your dental implants will be bonded with your jawbone, you won't have to worry about your dentures that's secured to them failing or moving in your mouth.
A Long Lifespan
One great benefit of dental implants that patients enjoy is that they're easy to maintain and can last for up to 35 years with the proper care. This is because the titanium implants are biocompatible and create a thin oxide layer around them when they're placed beneath your gums. This keeps them from eroding, providing your restorations with a decade of support.
Easy Maintenance
Dental implants function and look exactly like your home-grown pearly whites. Fortunately, you can also care for them in the same way. That means that you’ll need to brush twice each day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss at least once a day. Some other ways to extend the lifespan of your replacement teeth include:
- Being mindful of eating sticky, chewy, and hard foods that could damage your teeth.
- Keeping up with semi-annual checkups and cleanings.
- Maintain a nutritious diet.
