How Much Do Dental Implants Cost In Fairfield County, CT?

The increased availability of dental implants has changed the field of dentistry for the better. Prior to implants, there was no option that replaced both the root and the crown of a missing tooth, which compromised the jawbone and adjacent teeth. Dental implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth and they prevent and even reverse bone loss for improved oral health and the preservation of facial structures. 

That said, even when aware of the benefits of dental implants, many patients are hesitant to get them because of concerns over the price. Below, we discuss how much dental implants cost in Fairfield County, CT.

Unfortunately, there is no easy, one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how much dental implants cost. This is because “dental implants” is used as an umbrella term for a wide range of dental restorations.

In Fairfield County, you can expect to pay between $4000 and $6000 for a single-tooth dental implant, along with the abutment and crown that attach to it. Many patients need more than one single-tooth implant—if this is the case for you, the cost per implant may be less if they are all placed in a single surgical appointment. 

If you’re missing a few adjacent teeth, instead of single-tooth implants, you’ll be getting an implant-supported bridge, which is priced differently. Missing all or most teeth on a single arch? In these circumstances, we replace them with implant-supported dentures. These can be full or partial, fixed or removable—again, the options you choose can have a dramatic impact on the cost.

The materials you select for your restorations matter too, as does the type of anesthesia or sedation used during your surgery. Another factor to consider is whether supplemental procedures are needed—tooth extractions, sinus lifts, and bone grafting can all increase the total cost of getting dental implants. If you need a temporary restoration while waiting for your permanent prosthesis, this is an additional expense to consider.

With so many expenses involved in getting dental implants, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—or worry that achieving the beautiful, healthy smile you’ve always wanted is out of reach. Our team is committed to helping you get the dental care you need and the good news is that there are many options available to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

In the past, it was rare for dental insurance to cover any of the cost of implants, but this is beginning to change. Some carriers will now cover the restorations attached to your dental implants, while others pay for dental implants that are needed after jawbone loss or injury. Call your insurance provider for more details.

You can finance your dental implants by paying for them with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. CareCredit is another financing option that many patients choose, as it provides no-interest financing and low minimum monthly payments that fit into most budgets.
