Here is a case: 

    A seventy-year-old man has lost all of his teeth and sought removable denture before. However, the denture produces an obvious sensation of foreign body and performs poorly in mastication. Thus he wants to seek dental implants instead, thinking they may well yield a better result. He wonders whether he is allowed to conduct that and how much it will cost. 

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, whether you’re an eligible candidate for dental implant can only be confirmed after seeking a thorough check-up and diagnosis about both your oral and general health. As long as your dental condition are good enough to support dental implant, then you can seek the treatment, regardless of how old you are. Suffering from periodontitis, you need to seek proper treatment first. With severe alveolar resorption, you probably need a bone graft before the implant surgery. Such systemic diseases like hypertension and diabetes, should also be mitigated in advance. 

    When it comes to the cost, it varies, depending on the hospital you choose, regional development, implant brand and your personal dental condition. In general, it costs over CN￥10000 for one dental implant. Actually, though you have lost all your teeth, it doesn’t mean you need to seek 28 dental implants in total which will definitely cost an arm and a leg. Instead, you can seek dental bridge. 

    As is shown in the picture below, two dental implants, together with a dental bridge of three crown, are enough to restore three missing teeth in a row. By conducting bridges, you can reduce the number of dental implants and thus save a lot.

    As we all known, the more dental implants you need, the more expensive it will be. And the crowns will cost extra. So come to visit an implant dentist who will develop a customized treatment plan in line with your personal condition, including the total cost.
