Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implants. They are surgically placed into the jawbone and serve as a sturdy foundation for individual crowns, bridges, or dentures. These implants are typically made of titanium and come in the form of screws, cylinders, or blades.

Average Cost: $1,000 to $3,000 per implant.

Subperiosteal implants are an alternative for patients who do not have enough healthy jawbone to support endosteal implants and do not want to undergo bone grafting. These implants are placed under the gum but above the jawbone.

Average Cost: $1,500 to $4,000 per implant.

Zygomatic implants are used in cases where there is severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Instead of being anchored in the jawbone, these implants are placed in the cheekbone (zygoma). This type of implant is less common and requires a more complex surgical procedure.

Average Cost: $2,000 to $4,500 per implant.

4. All-on-4 Implants

The All-on-4 technique is ideal for patients who need a full arch of teeth replaced. This method uses four strategically placed implants to support a full set of dentures. It is a cost-effective solution that provides stability and a natural appearance.

Average Cost: $15,000 to $30,000 per arch.

Several factors can influence the cost of dental implants, including:

• Material: Titanium implants tend to be more expensive than other materials.
• Procedure Complexity: More complex procedures, such as zygomatic implants, are generally more costly.
• Geographic Location: Costs can vary based on the location of the dental clinic.
• Additional Procedures: Bone grafting or sinus lifts, if required, can add to the overall cost.

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including improved appearance, speech, and comfort. They are durable, with proper care, can last a lifetime. Unlike dentures, implants do not need to be removed for cleaning and do not require adhesives.
