One of the greatest misconceptions abound is that the cost of dental implants is prohibitively high. First of all, the cost of dental implants is far from prohibitive and while this sophisticated tooth replacement technology may require a greater initial investment than traditional methods, such a dental bridges and removable dentures, there are several very important reasons for this. The cost of dental implants, explains qualified and experienced implant dentist Dr. Wayne Brueggen, buys you the very best technology available for the replacement of single and multiple missing teeth. This solution is one that is virtually indistinguishable in aesthetics and function from natural teeth and one that boasts a lifespan of 20, 30 years and even more if cared for properly. In order to fully appreciate the cost of dental implants and why it is that the initial price tag may seem higher than more traditional solutions to missing teeth, let’s take a look at the benefits and advantages afforded by this sophisticated technology.

When making as important investment as the cost of dental implants, it always helps to understand exactly what you’re paying for. Dental implants offer the very best, most sophisticated and long term solution to single and multiple missing teeth.

The artificial crowns fitted to the abutments or ‘collars’ of dental implants are skillfully fabricated from the highest quality ceramic material to be virtually indistinguishable from any natural healthy tooth. Furthermore, not only is the color of the crown custom blended to closely match that of your neighboring teeth, but the material from which it is made mimics the optical properties of natural dental enamel, so not even your close friends and family will be able to tell the difference.

The cost of dental implants also gets you a replacement tooth or teeth that enable you to eat all the foods you love but previously couldn’t manage or fully enjoy with missing teeth or inferior dental technology. With traditional solutions, such as dental bridges and dentures, patients tend to be careful about what they eat and the strength with which they bite down. This can prevent them from fully enjoying their food and due to functional impairments, eating difficulties and self-consciousness, can also result in malnutrition! By covering the cost of dental implants, you can bite into that delicious steak without worrying or feeling self-conscious.

Dental implants last substantially longer than traditional tooth replacement technologies. In fact, they boast a lifetime of 20, 30 years and even longer if cared for properly! Just by covering the cost of dental implants today, you get to receive a sophisticated and long-term solution to your oral problems; and one that very rarely requires future attention or restoration.

Dental implants do not in any way damage or compromise the surrounding hard or soft tissue in the mouth. Because they replace the entire tooth, from the root to the crown, they do not feel like a foreign object, which reduces self-awareness and physical and psychological discomfort.

When you look for a tooth replacement solution, do you want something permanent, aesthetic, functional and comfortable? Something that restores your smile to its original natural beauty? If so, then the cost of dental implants is a smart investment for you. In fact, says Dr. Wayne Brueggen, it is a smart investment for anyone that is missing one, several or even all of their adult teeth!
