The True Cost of Dental Implants: Why Quality Matters

What Contributes to the Cost of Dental Implants?

The price of dental implants can range from $1,400 to over $10,000 per implant depending on the materials used, additional procedures required, and the expertise of the provider. At our Kansas City dental office, we only use name-brand implants with lifetime warranties to ensure long-term success for our patients.

Beyond the implant itself, here are the key factors that influence the cost:

• Bone Grafting: When a tooth is extracted, we use bone grafting to maintain the structure of your jawbone, ensuring it’s ready to support an implant.
• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): We use advanced techniques like PRF to accelerate healing. This process involves drawing your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, and creating a natural Band-Aid from your body’s own cells.
• Customization: For implants in visible areas, Dr. Patel custom designs and hand-paints crowns to match your natural teeth perfectly.

Why Quality Materials Matter

Not all dental implants are created equal. Cheaper implants might come with lower upfront costs, but they often lack the testing, warranties, and durability of premium implants. At Love to Smile Dentistry, we only work with trusted brands to provide you with a solution that lasts a lifetime.

Is a Dental Implant Worth the Investment?

Yes. Dental implants offer a 99.7% success rate when paired with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Unlike dentures or bridges, they function like natural teeth, preserving your jawbone and maintaining the integrity of your smile.

To make implants more accessible, we offer flexible payment plans. Costs are spread out over six to eight months, breaking the investment into manageable installments.
