1. Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Implant Costs,
PART 4
This four-part article series provides a comprehensive FAQ guide to the cost of dental implants and the surgical
procedures required to place them.
Welcome to the final installment of this four-part article series on tooth implant costs. Tooth
loss is, unfortunately, one of those things that happen to almost everyone at some stage during
their life. When it does, regardless of the cause, the most important decision you make is
whether or not you opt for the most sophisticated and advanced tooth replacement solution
available. And this solution is afforded by tooth implant costs, which are functionally,
aesthetically and - in comfort and feel - far superior to traditional technologies, such as bridges
and removable dentures. With a lifespan of several decades, almost always without the need for
any restoration, you’ll find that - contrary to their reputation - tooth implant costs do not lie on
the high end of the spectrum. Rather, they are the most economical investment a patient can
make in their quality of life and oral health.
In this article, the final installment of our four-part FAQ guide on tooth implant costs, we shall
answer two final questions on dental financing and insurance…
Question: Will medical insurance cover my tooth implant costs?
Answer: Unfortunately, many medical and dental insurance providers don’t offer coverage for
tooth implant costs. This is because dental implants are still considered an elective procedure,
even if they are the most comprehensive and sophisticated solution available for the
replacement of single and multiple missing teeth. They may cover certain portions of the
procedure, such as the cost of anesthesia, tooth extractions, X-rays and crowns, but the majority
of dental implant surgery will have to come out of your own pocket. Whatever you do, make sure
you understand the terms of your coverage beforehand!

2. Question: Do implant dentists offer any financing for tooth implant costs?
Answer: Tooth implant costs are not inexpensive and as a result, most dental implant centers -
especially the larger and more reputable ones - do offer patients a few financing options. Most of
them accept major credit cards and/or have become affiliated with healthcare financing
companies, for example, Compassionate Health Care Services, CareCredit, Chase Healthcare
Financing or Springstone Patient Financing. Upon review of your case, these companies may
decide to provide you with the financing you need to cover your tooth implant costs. Contact
your dentist to find out what his/her financing options are. Once you have approval, you will sit
down with one of their financing experts who will work out a payment plan that is tailor-made to
fit your personal budget. Most patients opt for the short-term, no interest method of payment.
A Final Note on Tooth Implant Costs
We hope that we have managed to address all of your concerns regarding tooth implant costs in
this four-part series. We have one final piece of advice we would like to leave you with:
You are saving yourself money in the long run by opting for the more sophisticated tooth
replacement solution offered by tooth implant costs. So many patients make the mistake of
choosing the cheaper and inferior dental technology to help them save money on tooth
replacement. Ironically enough, it’s these patients who, in the long run, end up spending more
money on adhesives, anesthetic gels, cleaning agents, denture refitting and ultimately, when
their jaw bones have become so wasted away that they can’t support dentures anymore; bone
grafting and dental implants!
