1. 6 Reasons Why Dental Implant Costs
are Worth It, PART 1
This four-part article series presents 6 top reasons why patients should opt for dental implants over other tooth
replacement technologies.
It is one of the most unfortunate misconceptions that dental implant costs are prohibitively high
and that this tooth replacement technology, as sophisticated and advantageous as it is, is
reserved only for the affluent. This makes about as much sense as saying: “Ah, do you have any
cheaper options than a heart transplant doctor? I just can’t afford it.” Of course, losing one or
more of your natural teeth is not life-threatening, but then again, dental implant costs are
exponentially lower than this kind of serious surgery! The
bottom line, explain implant dentists, is that when it comes to
teeth replacement, you get what you pay for. The problem is
that very few patients truly appreciate what it is they’re getting
should they opt to cover dental implant costs.
In this four-part article series, we shall be taking a look at the
many wonderful benefits and advantages offered by dental
implants and how they totally eclipse – in sophistication and
life span – all other dental technologies designed to replace
missing teeth, whether it’s a single pearly white or all of them.
Are the dental implant costs worth it? What kind of solutions
will these dental implant costs provide you with? How long does this technology last? And will
your new teeth require you to make any future investments of money? All these questions will be
answered and more in this four-part series. So, without further ado, let’s start exploring the 6
reasons why dental implant costs are worth it!
Dental Implant Costs - Worth It? YES! Reason # 1: By covering dental implant
costs once, you get a new tooth or teeth that last decades.
Most of us, when faced with a decision between any two products or services, would spend a
little more on the option that is going to last us or benefit us for longer. You might shell out
$100 more on a blender that comes with a one year warranty as opposed to its cheaper
alternative, which might serve you well for a few months before bursting into a shower of sparks.
Or, you might decide to blow a 10th of your salary on a pair of Levi jeans because you know
they’ll look, fit and feel better than any other brand of denim. Also, they’ll last far longer.
Every day, we make decisions that require us to spend more money, rather than opt for a
cheaper alternative because we know that coughing up that little bit extra will serve us in the
long run. The very same applies to dental technology. When it comes to dental implant costs,
you may spend more in the short term, but the results last decades; as many as 20, 30 years and
longer. Dental bridges last approximately 10 to 12 years before needing replacement. Removable
dentures last a few years before refitting becomes necessary. And the ironic thing is that
denture-wearers ultimately end up needing dental implants anyway due to continued bone loss
in the jaw!
2. In addition to its much longer lifespan, the dental implant costs you pay to have a tooth or teeth
replaced are almost always a one-time investment. If placed by a skilled and experienced
implant dentist and if cared for properly by you,
there is no reason why your new teeth can’t last
you a worry-free lifetime!
So, ask yourself: would you rather spend the least
amount of money possible and receive a
substandard tooth replacement (which is FAR
more difficult to ignore than a pair of ill-fitting
jeans), or would you rather cover the dental
implant costs and be able to resume your life
without any functional and aesthetic impairments,
knowing that you’ve made the best possible decision
for your short and long-term oral health?
