Cost Of Dental Implant
Dental Implants are screw type device generally made up of titanium alloy, They are placed in the bone which requires surgical skills. After that we fix crowns or bridges over them to replace the missing tooth or teeth or entire dentition. Cost of Dental Implant procedure generally ranges from Rs 20,000 - Rs 40,000 per Implant and depends on the following factors:-
The Implant system and Implant Company - Some Implant Companies have global presence and have good Research and Development team. These Implant companies continuously work for refinement of their implant system. Some best Implant systems are Stramann, Nobel Biocare, Zimmer etc. We use Active Implants to immediately place crown over it which are costlier. So the cost of Dental Implant depends upon the Implant system and the type of Implant company.
If we perform additional surgical procedure like bone grafting, sinus lift procedure, ridge split etc. then the cost of the procedure is added.
The type of dental crown or bridge we use- screw retained crown or bridge are costlier than cement retained. Cement retained long span bridges are technically difficult so we have to go for screw retained bridges. Also screw retained crowns are more hygienic and can be easily retrieved in future is any other procedure is required
As the number of Dental Implants increase the cost of dental implant procedure also increase. Also as the number of crowns we replace between the Implants increase cost of dental Implant increases.
"All on 4" Implant system which is used to restore entire teeth set might cost around Rs. 1,50,000 to Rs 2,00,000 per arch ( Upper or Lower)
Similarly "All on 6" Implant System which will cover more number of teeth will cost around RS 2,00,000 to Rs 2,50,000 Material of Dental Crown - Zirconia crowns are costlier
