Why Are Dental Implants So Expensive?

Since dental implants have been invented, the cost of receiving implants has gone down. But why are they still expensive? This is due to the amount of research and development that went into creating an implant.

In addition, dental implants are made from a costly material called titanium. Furthermore, titanium can vary in quality, so the better material is more expensive. Being softer or harder, the place where it’s made, and the extensive training the dentist had to undergo to perform dental implants all contribute to the net cost.

The amount of time it takes for a dentist to become a board-certified implantologist can range up to ten years! Even after certification, the specialist must take exams and keep up with current-day practices in order to retain his or her board certification.

This much extensive training requires a good investment, which is reflected in the cost of the implant.

What is my best option if I can’t afford a high-ticket dental implant?

If you’re looking not to spend a lot of money on an implant, but don’t want to sacrifice quality, we would recommend finding a provider who specializes in dental implants. They may be more efficient and fast than other dentists, which can effectively lower the price.
