Implant tooth refers to placing an artificial root at where there is tooth loss, followed by the installment of an abutment and a crown. It is supported by a freestanding root, requiring no enamel abrasion. How much will an implant restoration cost?

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, the price varies widely depending on the your dental condition and treatment plan, generally in excess of ten thousand yuan. 

    First of all, dental condition varies from patient to patient, so does the treatment they need. For instance, in cases of periodontitis and tooth cavities, different treatments will be required accordingly. Dental cleaning can greatly improve mild periodontitis, while for severe ones you need systemic periodontal treatment and long-term care. A simple dental filling can be enough to fix mild caries, but for deep ones which have reached pulp chamber, root canal therapy should be scheduled. Of course, different kinds of treatment cost differently.

    Second, the state of alveolar bone is very important for implant restoration. What alveolar bone to an implant is what soil to a tree. Without adequate alveolar bone, the implant surgery can hardly be conducted. At that time, it’s a procedure called boned grafting that should be sought upfront. As for the amount of required bone powder, it varies among individuals as well, leading to different costs.

    In addition, the number of missing teeth also closely linked with the total fee. The price we mentioned above is for one tooth. The more implants you need, the more you need to pay.

    At last, there are various brands of dental implant available, such as Korean, American, German and Swiss brands. They show difference in both performance and price. It would be advisable to choose a right one for your case based on both your financial and dental condition.

    In general, the price of an implant restoration covers three parts — implant post serving as artificial root, abutment as connector and crown for protection.
