Compared with removable denture and porcelain restoration, dental implant requires no abrasion of adjacent teeth and gain support from a freestanding artificial root. By and large, an implant tooth is set to be firm and can be used for a decade or more. Nowadays, there are different kinds of implant systems available, among them OSSTEM is rather well-known. Then how much will an OSSTEM implant cost? 

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, an implant tooth will cost more than ten thousand yuan, including an implant post, abutment and crown. OSSTEM, by contrast, is more affordable than that from European countries and America. However, the exact price can hardly be decided before knowing your specific dental condition.

    For those with poor oral hygiene and accumulation of dental calculus, a professional cleaning should be sought beforehand to create a better oral environment for implant surgery, which usually costs about two or three hundred yuan. 

    As we know, gum recession and alveolar resorption occur over time along with tooth loss. If you have lost your teeth long before, chances are that you will need periodontal treatment first. Without enough alveolar bone, it’s a procedure of bone grafting that will be required, costing several thousand yuan. 

    With the long-term absence of tooth, its adjacent teeth will tilt toward the blank socket. In severe cases, an orthodontic service to straighten the inclined teeth is required prior to seeking implant. When it comes to the price of orthodontics, it varies widely depending on the severity of your case and which type of braces you choose. Generally it will cost more than ten thousand yuan.  Relevant article: complications of implant surgery
